With lakhs of engineering students passing out from various Govt , private and other institutions, a load of issues have cropped up like the increasing unemployability, career crisis and under utilised human resources.
And that is when our leading educational planning and controlling body decides to reduce seats . Reducing seats can probably solve the future problem. But
a few decades of careless planning or corrupted viewpoints have already made the harm.

And who is going to suffer? Is it the students who had no clue about what is ahead of them? Or is it the parents who sent their students into Engineering courses because they thought that was the only best for their child? Or is it the various educational entrepreneurs who set up institutions thinking that they can get guaranteed returns for years ahead ? Or is the genuine educational enthusiasts who wanted to bring change in the system ? Or is it the teaching community who may suddenly lose their jobs and will be added to the market pool and probably fight with their own students for a job?
Whatever harm done is done. .
At least now it is time to consider skill planning of a nation in a bit more academically as well as industry oriented manner rather than political and religious manner . Hope the new decision by AICTE will be implemented properly in a phased manner without damaging the educational eco system. Hope the current set of unemployed /unemployable engineers are also taken care properly. . And hope this decision of reducing Seats is not haphazard one either!

If implemented , this could improve Engineering Education quality in two ways . One ,since the input quality is better, the output quality is also expected to be better.
Secondly, the faculty quality will also improve because only the good ones will be retained.

However, as always I will have to end saying that "Idea is good. But leg is mine." :)
And yes, best part is that , we wouldn't have to see these kinds of headlines in newspapers in future!
