The response to engineering courses in the Kannada medium has been poor this year, too. In the second round of counselling for the Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) recently, not even one student opted for the course.
The four year B.Sc Honours course in engineering colleges launched by the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) two years ago has also elicited poor response. Only a few students have opted for the course in at the KLS Gogte Institute of Technology, Belagavi.
The State government is expected to discontinue these two courses, which were launched with the ambition of implementing the National Education Policy (NEP), sources said.
