24 students opt for Kannada-medium engg. seats this year, but will they stick to their choice is the question

The Hindu  

The Karnataka Examinations Authority has announced the final results of seat allotment of the first round for entry to engineering, medical, and other professional courses, and a total of 24 students have secured seats for Kannada-medium engineering courses this year. A total of 17 students opted for Kannada-medium civil and mechanical engineering courses in the first year, but all withdrew by admission time. Despite poor response from students to Kannada-medium engineering courses, SJC Institute of Technology and the Maharaja Institute of Technology, Mysuru, have decided to continue offering civil and mechanical Kannada-medium engineering courses this year. Experts believe that poor support from the government, in terms of course material and assured job opportunities, has put the ambitious Kannada-medium engineering courses in peril.
