Data Science and AI/Machine Learning emerging

Only 5 students for Hindi medium, a few takers for Telugu and Urdu

Arts education in Telangana is rapidly losing its appeal among students, with commerce courses emerging as the most popular choice for undergraduate studies. This shift is evident in the latest seat allotment data from the Degree Online Services Telangana (DOST) 2024.

Out of 81,769 students who participated in the first phase of seat allotment, 28,655 students (37.56%) chose commerce. In comparison, only 7,766 students opted for arts, highlighting a significant drop in interest in humanities subjects.

Science courses are also attracting top students. The highest scorer in the Intermediate public examinations who achieved 99.40%, chose a BSc in Life Sciences at Telangana Mahila Viswavidyalayam. The second and third rankers, who scored 99.30%, selected Physical Science programs at Nizam College and Telangana Mahila Viswavidyalayam.

Gender and Language Preferences

The allotment data also showed that more women (47,867) than men (28,423) received seats. Additionally, 5,479 students did not get seats because they selected a limited number of options.

When it comes to the medium of instruction, most students preferred English. Out of the 76,290 students who got seats, 72,431 chose English-medium courses. Telugu-medium courses attracted only 3,314 students, Urdu-medium courses had 540 students, and Hindi-medium courses had just 5 students. This indicates a decreasing interest in studying in regional languages.

The low numbers for Telugu, Urdu, and Hindi medium courses, combined with the decline in interest in arts, suggest that students are moving towards courses that they believe offer better job prospects and global opportunities.

Additionally, 70 colleges did not receive any student allotments, which could mean there are too many colleges or that they are not offering what students want.

While commerce and science courses remain popular, new fields like Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are starting to gain interest, with 2,502 students choosing these programs. However, traditional courses like D. Pharmacy had only 90 enrollments.

In summary, the current trends in Telangana show a strong preference for commerce and science, a decline in arts education, and a major tilt towards English-medium instruction. This shift reflects the changing aspirations of students, who are looking for better career opportunities and global competitiveness
