The state government is planning to shut the doors of its engineering colleges for outsiders, two years after they were thrown open.
An influx of below-average students from other states into engineering campuses here has prompted the government to review its open-door policy.
We will not compromise on quality and may revise the system, said Sajal Dasgupta, Director of Technical Education. The issue is important and we are examining the complaints.
The state government had withdrawn the domicile curbs on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) applicants and allowed students from beyond Bengal to take the tests in their respective states, for the institutes to have a wider talent pool to fill up their seats from.
Some teachers attribute the high success rate of students from other states to the multiple-choice questions introduced this year.
Unlike their counterparts from Bengal, students from other states are used to the multiple-choice type from the secondary level.
Outstation students may have done well because they are well-rehearsed in the new format. But we need to look at other factors as well, said Parthapratim Biswas, member of the JU executive council.
