On 1st August’ 16, colleges ended the third counselling session and still have 80 percent of seats vacant. 18 colleges out of the 76 have zero students and 15 colleges have less than 10 students. All this poses a big threat. If colleges are not able to get minimum 30 students they can be shut down by the university. All the colleges have 60 seats and to sustain they need at least 30 seats filled.
