West Bengal extends college application deadline amid vacant seats: Is higher education in the state losing its appeal?

West Bengal has extended the college application deadline to July 15 amid a worrying number of vacant seats in state-run and aided colleges. Despite the centralised admission portal, student registrations remain low, and many are choosing institutions outside the state. Delays, legal complications over OBC reservations, and safety concerns are contributing factors. The extension signals deeper issues as the appeal of higher education in West Bengal appears to be fading.
