Calcutta University BTech Admission 2023: Calcutta University (CU) has announced to hold a second independent counselling on November 24. The decision to conduct a second round of counselling is taken due to the remaining vacant seats. CU held its first independent counselling in early October as seats remained vacant following a centralised counselling conducted by the state JEE board. The university conducted a survey among absentee students after it came to its attention that some students had been staying away from classes.

A CU official said 58 of the 253 BTech seats are still vacant. A notice signed by Amit Roy, secretary of the University College of Science, Technology and Agriculture, says, “Online applications are invited from state-domiciled eligible candidates for admission in the 1st Year of 4-year BTech course against vacant seats in different streams/branches of engineering and technology through decentralized counselling”.

The notice lists details of the 58 vacant seats. “Vacancy may increase at the table of counselling,” says the notice.

Sanatan Chattopadhyay, a CU professor, said the university held independent counselling before the Puja vacation as 68 of its 253 BTech seats were vacant after the completion of the centralised counselling.

“Repeated counselling does not augur well. This means the enrolled students are not inclined to study at Calcutta University. The seats will get filled up eventually, but we are worried about the quality of students,” he said.
