In Indore, the 2023 batch of the Biomedical Engineering course offered in Hindi at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) has been dissolved, resulting in the second consecutive batch being inactive. All nine students from the 2023 batch have transitioned to the English-medium program. This shift happened during the internal branch sliding option provided in college-level counseling for engineering admissions based on merit. Concerns have been raised regarding the sustainability of the Hindi-medium program since the inaugural batch in 2022 also faced a similar fate when the students switched courses.

The Hindi-language Biomedical Engineering course was introduced in 2022 at SGSITS after receiving approval from the All India Council for Technical Education to offer engineering courses in Hindi. However, it struggled to attract students from the beginning. In 2023, ten students initially enrolled, but one withdrew early on. The remaining nine students continued in the program for a year before moving to the English-medium course, resulting in no students left in the Hindi-medium program for two consecutive years.

Dr. Prashant Bansod, the head of the biomedical engineering department, mentioned that during the internal branch sliding process, all students from the 2023 batch shifted to the English medium program. Despite having prepared course materials in Hindi for the second year, they opted for English.

SGSITS is the only institution in India offering Biomedical Engineering in Hindi. The initiative to promote technical education in regional languages is facing low demand in Madhya Pradesh. College authorities have expressed concerns about the decreasing interest, despite efforts to provide textbooks in Hindi, translate course content, and allow flexibility in exam language options.Scratching one's branches or straying from the path may occur due to external influences such as peer pressure or expectations from parents to pursue studies in English. Despite the lack of available books in Hindi for Biomedical Engineering, the college faculty has translated the course material into Hindi and provided study materials for students pursuing the BTech in Biomedical Engineering in Hindi. Despite initial challenges, the college leadership is dedicated to encouraging and supporting the 12 new students in this year's Biomedical Engineering program. The course was specifically developed for students from Hindi-speaking backgrounds or rural areas, dispelling the misconception that studying in Hindi hinders job prospects. The new batch of students is being guided and guaranteed placements, as affirmed by SGSITS director Dr. Vijay Rode.
