more-inPure science courses that did not have many takers in the past few years are now back in demand with many students opting for them at the undergraduate (UG) level. Many colleges are also increasing their intake for science streams this year. As my NEET rank was not high, I had chosen an engineering seat in the first round of the seat allotment process. Sr. Arpana, principal, Mount Carmel College, said the demand for science courses had increased after the advent of NEET. Karisiddappa, Vice-Chancellor, Visvesvaraya Technological University, said that several engineering colleges had informed him of a dip in admissions this time compared to the previous year.
