There is some good news for candidates featuring on the merit list of West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination -- the ones who failed to get enrolled in any engineering college this year.
The Central Selection Committee for engineering and technology will hold counselling for an additional 800 engineering seats on September 11, 12 and 13. The counselling for general candidates will start from 26,792 rank.
The committee announced this on September 6 after All India Council for Technical Education granted approval to Camellia Institute of Technology, a new engineering college that has come up recently.
Camellia Institute of Technology will offer 60 seats each in computer science and engineering, information technology, electronics and communication engineering and electrical and electronics engineering.
AICTE has also granted approval to a couple of colleges that started new departments and to some that increased seats. Engineering seats have been added in computer science and engineering department of BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology, Dr BC Roy Engineering College, Narula Institute of Technology and Bengal College of Engineering and Technology.
Some new departments like textile technology, IT and civil engineering were introduced in Government College of Engineering and Textile, Future Institute of Engineering and Technology and Narula Institute of Engineering and Technology respectively.
“Counselling for engineering candidates ended on 25 June. AICTE’s approval for the additional seats, however reached after June so counselling could not be held for these seats,” said Mr A K Chattopadhyay, convener, Central Selection Committee. In 2006, candidates ranking 75,000 were called at counselling but this year counselling ended at rank 26,791,” he added.
