An official of the engineering and technology faculty at JU stated that after counselling for the NITs began in mid-October, enrolled students began backing out even as the university had been filling seats in the first three rounds of centralised counselling.
An official added, “With the Joint Seat Allocation Authority starting its counseling, a large number of students who had opted for JU backed out and took admission in NITs, like NIT Suratkal, NIT Trichy. This led to a situation where more one in the three seats has remained vacant at JUl.”
