The Biomedical Engineering course offered in Hindi at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) has been discontinued for the 2023 batch. This marks the second consecutive batch to become inactive, as all nine students from the 2023 batch have now transitioned to the English-medium program. The decision to shift branches was made during the internal branch sliding process for second-year students as part of the engineering admissions counseling based on merit. Concerns have been raised about the future sustainability of the Hindi-medium program, as the inaugural batch from 2022 also faced a similar fate when students left 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 only nine students. These students completed a year in the program before switching to the English-medium course, resulting in no students remaining in the Hindi-medium program for two consecutive years.

Dr. Prashant Bansod, the head of the biomedical engineering department, explained, "During the internal branch sliding, all students from the 2023 batch shifted to the English Biomedical Engineering program. We had already prepared course materials in Hindi for the second year, but they have now shifted to English."

SGSITS is currently the only institution in the country offering a Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi. However, the initiative, aimed at promoting technical education in regional languages, has not garnered sufficient interest in Madhya Pradesh. College authorities have expressed concerns about the declining interest despite efforts to provide Hindi textbooks, translate course content, and offer exam flexibility in a mix of Hindi and English.Scratching their heads over deviating from the norm, students may feel pressured by peers or parental expectations to pursue studies in English. Despite the absence of Biomedical Engineering textbooks in Hindi, the college faculty took the initiative to translate course materials and create study guides to support students pursuing the BTech in Biomedical Engineering in Hindi. Despite facing challenges initially, college administrators are dedicated to encouraging and empowering the new group of 12 students enrolled in this program. Dr. Vijay Rode, the director of SGSITS, emphasized that the course was specifically designed to cater to students from Hindi-speaking backgrounds or rural areas. He debunked the misconception that studying in Hindi hinders job opportunities, assuring the new students of potential career placements.
