Since there was a speculation of seat crisis this year, it was felt that the ongoing admissions to the undergraduate courses would have to be reviewed. "Around 3,66,000 students have passed the class-XII exams this year, combining the three major boards. The intake capacity of our undergraduate colleges, professional colleges and engineering colleges have a commensurate capacity. So, there was no seat shortage. However, colleges are coming under heavy pressure, with a large number of students demanding some particular subjects. After going through the VCs' reports, we have come to the conclusion that though there is no seat shortage, the students may not get the subjects of their choice in their preferred colleges. This has been a problem every year. Though there is no crisis at the macro level, a few colleges in the districts are under pressure. So, we may start several new colleges in the districts," said Subimal Sen, chairman of the higher education council.
