The Biomedical Engineering course for the 2023 batch offered in Hindi at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) in Indore has been discontinued, marking the second consecutive year of the program's closure. All nine students from the 2023 batch have transitioned to the English-medium program during the internal branch sliding option available to second-year students as part of the engineering admissions counseling at the college. This development has raised concerns about the future of the Hindi-medium program as the inaugural batch of seven students in 2022 had also faced a similar fate when students opted out of the course.

Introduced in 2022 with approval from the All India Council for Technical Education, the Hindi-language Biomedical Engineering course at SGSITS struggled to attract students from the beginning. Although ten students enrolled in 2023, one withdrew early on, leaving the remaining nine to continue for a year before switching to the English course. This shift has resulted in no students remaining in the Hindi-medium program for two consecutive years.

Dr. Prashant Bansod, the head of the biomedical engineering department, confirmed that all the students from the 2023 batch have transferred to the English program during the internal branch sliding process. Despite efforts to facilitate studying in Hindi through course materials and flexibility in exam languages, the interest in the program has dwindled. SGSITS is the only institution in the country offering a Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi, intended to promote technical education in regional languages, but faces a lack of demand in Madhya Pradesh.Some students may feel compelled to switch majors due to external pressures like peer influence or the expectations of their parents, especially when it comes to pursuing studies in English. Despite the lack of available books in Hindi for Biomedical Engineering, the college faculty took the initiative to translate course materials and create study materials in Hindi, ensuring that students can successfully complete the BTech in Biomedical Engineering program in their preferred language. Despite facing challenges at the start, the college is determined to support and encourage the 12 new students enrolled in the program this year. The course was specifically designed and introduced with a focus on students coming from Hindi medium backgrounds or rural areas. Addressing the misconception that studying in Hindi may hinder job placements, the college director, Dr. Vijay Rode, emphasized the support and assurance provided to the new batch regarding future employment opportunities.
