Server Issues in Engineering Counseling<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Technical glitches arose on the very first day of engineering admissions counseling<\/strong>. While the registration window was opened from the 20th to the 29th<\/strong> of this month, the website was down on Monday due to a server problem. Consequently, many candidates were unable to complete their registration for admissions counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commissionerate of Higher Education clarified that the website was temporarily down in the morning due to technical reasons, but resumed working properly afterwards. It further stated that 31,911 candidates<\/strong> had successfully registered by 9:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Increase in Engineering Seats This Year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The state government has also decided not to permit any increase in engineering seats<\/strong> for the current academic year. Colleges will be allowed to admit students only up to last year’s approved intake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the AICTE<\/strong> reportedly approved an increase of more than 6,000 engineering seats<\/strong> across the state, the Andhra Pradesh Government has chosen to maintain the existing intake to ensure balanced admissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineering Admission Trends: Rise of Core Branches vs. IT Slowdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Driven by recent layoffs <\/strong>and a hiring slowdown<\/strong> in the global information technology (IT) sector<\/strong>, engineering admission trends are witnessing a notable shift toward core branches. While software-related streams like Computer Science Engineering (CSE)<\/strong> still command a massive 52% share of total available seats<\/strong>, traditional fields\u2014namely Mechanical<\/strong>, Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE),<\/strong> and Civil Engineering<\/strong>\u2014are experiencing a significant resurgence in demand. This transition is further fueled by national manufacturing initiatives, such as India\u2019s push to become a semiconductor manufacturing hub<\/strong>, which has drastically boosted enrollment in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)<\/strong>. Consequently, students are increasingly looking at local industrial growth and long-term career stability over the volatile tech landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
