MBA,MCA colleges face closure threat

HYDERABAD: After engineering colleges it’s the turn of MBA and MCA  colleges in the state to face the threat of closure with only 40 percent of the qualified candidates appearing for the certificate verification process that ended on Tuesday.
 The poor response indicates that nearly 90,000 seats in both MBA,MCA  colleges will go vacant this year . Engineering colleges are already suffering with this poor response and several colleges face closure of the courses with nearly one lakh second seats going vacant.
Offiacials say that out of the 1,26,454 candidates who qualified in the Integrated Common Entrance Test(ICET) this year ,only 51,000 reported for the Certificate Verification.It means, there are no takers for 87,000 and odd seats alredy,and  colleges also understand that a few thousands who have attended certificate verification may not join for various reasons. moreover,there are management quota seats for which there is hardly any response.
 However, the clarity on whether MBA will suffer or MCA due to the poor response will be revealed only when the allotment is done on August 30. students can give options till August 28.
Given the previous experience, officials feel that MCA colleges will be badly hit as most of these students may prefer MBA.
The State has 42,950 seats in 609 MCA colleges and 88,281 seats in 916 MBA colleges.
Colleges in the sub-urban and rural areas are worried over the poor response as they surely understand that they will not be on the students preference radar.
