Popularity of management courses has gone down in comparison with courses on computer science. This was evident from the reduced number of students taking the Common Entrance Test (CET) for admission to Master of Business Management (MBA) as compared to the number of students appearing for Master of Computer Applications (MCA). The MBA CET results are out on Monday. Almost all students who get even one mark qualified to apply for admission to MBA course.
The entrance test for MCA saw as many as 1920 students (with nine absentees) trying their luck AT 6 centres (five in Nagpur and one at Chandrapur), as against 1716 taking the CET for the subject last year. There are 21 MCA colleges -- two more than the last year’s number -- with 1155 seats. In case of MBA, 11800 students tok the CET this year from 22 centres in Nagpur division, as against 18600 students appearing for the CET from 32 centres last year. This is despite the increased number of MBA colleges and seats. Last year, there were only 40 MBA colleges in Nagpur Division, while this year the number has swelled to 52 with 3360 seats and four new colleges may also open soon. However, increased opportunities in MBA courses have failed to attract proportionately greater numbers of students seeking that career path.
