Fewer takes in Maha for engineering, management and computer degrees
Mumbai The demand for engineering, management and computer courses continues to slide in Maharashtra with a 10-20% drop in the number of enrolments for degrees such as BE/BTech, MBA/MMS and MCA. Degree programmes in pharmacy and architecture - which have fewer seats compared to management, engineering and computer application courses - have, however, witnessed a rise in demand. Experts said a decline in college placements, a stagnant job market and better awareness of market conditions among students is responsible for the trend. According to Karanth, many students are opting out of once popular post-graduate programmes such as MBA, MMS and MCA, because these courses are no longer thought to provide the additional “edge” to graduates.
