Out of 91,649 total engineering seats across 180 colleges (156 private, 21 university, and two private universities), 80,011 seats were allotted, leaving 11,638 vacant. Fifty-one colleges — five universities and 46 private — achieved 100% admissions. A total of 6,085 candidates secured seats under the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota.
