Are engineering colleges not getting students Now the news is spreading on social media that the Institute of Engineering Studies (IOE) is facing a shortage of students. B.E/B.Arch. This news spread after not enough students came even during the admissions process for the level. IOE officials do not fully accept this matter.
IOE Assistant Dean Prada. Suraj Lamichhane argues that since the admission time is still left, this matter should not be publicized like that now.
While giving the entrance exam, a student indicates that he wants to study at many colleges. “The same student has taken the entrance exam of different universities,” he further said. “That’s why we are issuing a notice regarding re-application for admission to vacant positions. With every announcement, the number of vacant students is also decreasing.
This time, around 10,000 students passed the exam in IOE, which was more than our capacity. Which is the same as previous years. As admission time is still left, IOE should not face the situation as stated outside,” he opined.
Nirmal Prasad Baral, Campus Head of West Zone Engineering, says that the reason for this is not related to the choice of the students.But due to the rush to go abroad, the lack of effective government policies, efforts to alienate students from the educational institutions of the country, etc., there are some problems in the enrollment of students this year, he says.
Going to study abroad also earns money,” he says. “That’s why parents are forced to send their children to study abroad. Further, when such negative things about admissions are promoted, the students who are trying to study here are likely to end up leaving.
Ashok Gharti Magar, head of the computer department at Himalaya College of Engineering, believes that the impact of this may not be noticeable now, but it will be seen in the future.
But he admits that the enrollment of students has been lower than in the past due to the fact that the university did not conduct the entrance examination for a long time after the result of class 12, the students themselves did not see a future in the country, the government’s role in the education sector was silent, etc.
More than eight thousand students were willing to study at the proposed fee (about eight lakh rupees) that we have increased,” he says. “Later, after the current fee (about five lakh rupees) was fixed, another thousand more students were interested. Therefore, the argument that students have decreased due to fees is wrong.
Most of the thousands of students go to a foreign country to make their studies safe and earn money there. Most people will be leaving Nepal and going with their students over there.
Nowadays, people will make paas +2, and then she or he will be targeted to move forward to another country for further student visas and further study over there. But they aren’t going to study and also make work too.
