Bengaluru, Oct 20: At a time when engineering colleges are struggling to stay afloat and engineering graduates are wandering jobless the Department of Technical Education (DTE) has proposed starting 17 new government engineering colleges.

The proposals were sent to the government between April 2016 and May 2017. Of the 17, ten new colleges are proposed in north Karnataka, with districts such as Bidar, Kalaburagi and Bagalkot leading the race.

Colleges are proposed to come up also at Raichur (Manvi), Yadgir, Vijayapura (Indi), Chikmagalur (Indavara), Dakshina Kannada (Moodabidri), Tumakuru (Kunigal), Mysuru (T Narasipura) and Udupi.

In fact, four out of the five new government engineering colleges already sanctioned are coming up in north Karnataka - Talkal village in Yalburga (Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayareddy’s constituency), Nargund in Gadag, Gangavathi in Koppal and one in Bidar. The fifth one is coming up at Challakere in Chitradurga to cater to the Science City, a township anchored by IISc, ISRO, DRDO and BARC.

Karnataka has 227 engineering colleges, among which only 11 are state-run and 202 are private colleges.

It is worth mentioning here that over 29,000 seats out of 77,500 seats (excluding management quota) that were available this academic year have already remained vacant this year.
