Preference given to aided colleges…
The main reason for students giving priority to aided colleges, which have a higher number of seats available, is the quality education provided there. These colleges have better teaching, non-teaching staff, basic facilities, availability of books, labs, and management. Hence, students have clearly shown preference towards aided colleges. Even government colleges are now being considered as an alternative to private ones, as indicated by the seat allotment statistics in DOST.
