It has come to light that as many as 12,275 engineering seats are vacant at the 114 engineering colleges affiliated to the University of Pune (UoP) at the end of the admission process for the academic year 2012-13 in the state. With many colleges struggling to keep a float, reputed colleges like G H Raisoni, Wagholi, and Dr D Y Patil College’s Lohegaon campus, have now applied to close their engineering divisions, as they are unable to attract students this year.
