K'taka govt mulls putting a cap on CSE seats intake to tackle unemployment

And the demand is still growing in the AI era. Now in a move to prevent oversupply of CSE graduates and address growing concerns over unemployment, the state Higher Education department is considering freezing the increase of Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seats in engineering colleges in Tier-1 cities.

The proposal draws inspiration from Telangana, where a similar restriction has already been implemented and upheld by the state's High Court.

Higher Education Minister MC Sudhakar said that indiscriminate increase in CSE seats, often by converting less in-demand seats in civil and mechanical engineering, has created an imbalance in the system.
