Training for the nurses
Of the 53,206 seats across 1,095 colleges, only 16,954 have been filled, leaving 36,252 vacant. With Oct 30 being the deadline to complete admissions, the intake panel has authorised self-financed colleges to fill vacant seats directly, subject to admission rules and eligibility criteria. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Professional Nursing and Allied Medical Educational Courses Admission Committee (GPNAMEC) has announced a fresh choice-filling round for 444 vacant seats in govt colleges. Candidates can submit their choices from Oct 13 to 16. As many as 138 colleges have failed to admit even one student. Another 57 colleges have admitted just one student each, while 57 have admitted two students and 52 have admitted three. A further 133 colleges have enrolled between six and 10 students each.
Admitted students must also be enrolled with the respective councils and universities. The admission data paints a worrying picture of low enrolment across institutions.
