The Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi, part of the 2023 batch at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) in Indore, has been terminated. This marks the second consecutive batch to be discontinued, as all nine students from the 2023 batch have transferred to the English-medium program. The shift occurred during internal branch sliding for second-year students as part of the college's engineering admissions counseling. Concerns have arisen regarding the future sustainability of the Hindi program, as the inaugural batch in 2022 also faced closure due to student attrition. Introduced with seven students in 2022 following approval from the All India Council for Technical Education, the Hindi Biomedical Engineering course struggled to attract students from the outset. Despite ten enrollments in 2023, one student withdrew, and the remaining nine have now switched to the English program, leaving the Hindi medium program without students for two consecutive years. Dr. Prashant Bansod, head of the biomedical engineering department, stated that all students from the 2023 batch moved to the English course during internal branch sliding, despite preparations already made for the second-year course material in Hindi. SGSITS remains the sole institution in India offering a Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi, with the initiative aiming to promote technical education in regional languages but facing low demand in Madhya Pradesh. College authorities have expressed concerns about the declining interest in the program, despite efforts made to accommodate students with textbooks, course content translations, and exam flexibility in Hinglish.Branches itching or deviating from the course may result from external influences such as peer pressure or parental expectations to pursue studies in English. Despite the lack of available books for Biomedical Engineering in Hindi, the college faculty took initiative to translate the course material and provide study resources in Hindi to support the Biomedical Engineering program in the language. Despite initial challenges, the college administration remains committed to encouraging and empowering the 12 new students in the branch this year. The course was specifically tailored for students from Hindi medium backgrounds or rural areas. It is a misconception that studying in Hindi hinders job placement opportunities. The new batch of students is also being guided and assured about future job prospects, as stated by SGSITS director Dr. Vijay Rode to TOI.
