An expert was of the opinion that the increasing level of difficulty in JEE Main is the major reason for the decline in the number of applications. On the other hand, many students are keen to join management and law courses apart from engineering, he added.

Students in various states also prefer to appear for the state level engineering entrance exams. These students prefer to join engineering colleges in their respective regions.
