This refers to news report “Govt. plans writ plea over CET” organized by the Orissa Private Engineering Colleges Association (OPECA) to fill up 9000 engineering seats going vacant after second round of JEE counseling. State Govt. must encourage OPECA to fill up the seats with students, of course, with due merit & means to complete the course in larger interest of the state economy. State Govt. should only be concerned with the quality of students selected for supposed to be vacant seats. If 9000 seats are allowed to remain, without students, then the capacity created by private engineering college would go waste; which would be a colossal wastage of productive resources and also it will go against the Industrialisation of the state in the long run.
If OPECA has its way, then they could recruit probably nine thousand students with some merit and the demand of market forces, out of which fifty percent could be turned out as highly skilled manpower four years later. In a very basic Cost- Benefit analysis, any bureaucrat with little amount of scruples would be able to decipher the Huge wind fall Economic Benefit in allowing the OPECA to go ahead with CET, only with a rider to organize Quality Improvement Program (QIP) for such students so that the quality of engineers turned out from CET-III confirm to the minimum standards. Hope Govt. would take necessary legislative measure or if need be, resort to ordinance for a just cause.
