Concerned over the miserable response to the engineering and pharmacy degree courses, the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has extended the deadline of form submission till July 2. TOI got information, on Wednesday, about the extremely poor response in Nagpur division where nearly 9,000 engineering seats are likely to remain vacant this year.
As per the DTE communique, on account of "administrative" difficulties, the dates have been extended till Saturday 5pm. Even the candidates aspiring for a seat in autonomous institute would be benefited. Though the reasons are quite obvious, technical education director Subhash Mahajan refused to buy the arguments. "The extension was given as many students from Mumbai and Pune were finding it difficult to get their caste and validity certificates. There was a request from their side to extend the dates," Mahajan told TOI from Mumbai. He however added that about 90,000 students have applied for engineering seats from all over the state against 1.14 lakh seats till Wednesday.
