The State government has restored around 9,000 seats in engineering courses, which were earlier dropped from the final allotment list. With this decision, the said number of seats will be available for allotment.
S. Ramya, Executive Director of KEA, has stated that the government has restored the seats subject to the condition that the colleges comply with obtaining the necessary no-objection certificate or approval by the competent authority.
Further, she has clarified that the KEA does not have any authority to drop or increase the number of seats and such a decision can be taken only by the government.
Earlier, the decision of excluding around 9,000 seats in over 90 colleges across the State was taken citing reasons for not securing the required no-objection certificate or approval by several colleges.
