Technical degrees (B.Tech/ B.Pharm) are declining in India - Here's the report

As reported by The Print and The Indian Express, India's engineering seats are at a 10-year low, while management seats are growing!

Over the past five years, there have been 23.66 lakh engineering seats available in India, the lowest number since 2012-13, while 4.04 lakh management seats were available - the highest number in five years.  According to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), intake capacity at pharmacy institutes across the country has increased by nearly 30% this academic year as compared to 2018-19.

A year ago, pharmacy seats in India increased by almost 30%.

Over the past five years, there have been 23.66 lakh engineering seats available in India, the lowest number since 2012-13, while 4.04 lakh management seats were available - the highest number in five years. 

According to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), intake capacity at pharmacy institutes across the country has increased by nearly 30% this academic year as compared to 2018-19.


It is neither good nor bad for engineers nor pharmacists. The Skill India report shows that in 2021, B.Tech has an employment ratio of 46.82% and B.Pharm has an employment ratio of 37.24%. 

It is not possible to say that B.Tech or B.Pharm is good. All technical degrees are declining in India. The reason is traditional methods and not upgrading skills needed for today's world.

Through my blog, I hope that everyone gets the message and I believe this number can be changed very soon!
