Engineering seats

India has witnessed a decline in engineering college seats, the lowest in 10 years with institutes applying for closure since 2015-16 and a cutback in capacity throughout. According to the All India Council for Technical Education's latest data, there are only 23.28 lakh total seats in UnderGraduate, PostGraduate, and diploma programs currently. However, engineering still makes up for 80% of the total seats in technical education.
