The Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi at Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS) for the 2023 batch has been discontinued. This is the second consecutive batch that has become inactive as all nine students from the 2023 batch have opted to switch to the English medium program. The switch took place during the internal branch sliding option offered to second-year students during college-level engineering admissions counseling based on merit. Concerns have been raised regarding the future sustainability of the Hindi-medium program, as the first batch in 2022, consisting of seven students, also faced a similar fate when the students dropped out of the course.

Introduced in 2022 after approval from the All India Council for Technical Education, the Hindi-language Biomedical Engineering program at SGSITS has struggled to attract students since its inception. In 2023, ten students initially enrolled, but one student withdrew early on. The remaining nine students continued for a year before transitioning 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 switched to the English medium program, despite course materials being prepared in Hindi for the second year.

SGSITS remains the only institution in the country offering the Biomedical Engineering course in Hindi as an effort to encourage technical education in regional languages. However, the initiative has not gained traction in Madhya Pradesh due to low demand. College authorities have expressed concerns about the decreasing interest in the program, despite endeavors to provide textbooks in Hindi, translate course content, and offer options to write exams in a mix of Hindi and English.Scratching the surface or veering off track could be prompted by external pressures, such as peer influence or parental expectations to pursue English studies. Despite the lack of Hindi resources for Biomedical Engineering, the college faculty transformed the course materials into Hindi, providing notes and study materials to support students in the BTech Biomedical Engineering program in Hindi. Amidst initial challenges, the college is dedicated to motivating and empowering the 12 new students in the program. The course was tailored for Hindi-speaking or rural students, countering the misconception that studying in Hindi reduces job prospects. Dr. Vijay Rode, the director of SGSITS, emphasizes the ongoing support for the new batch's job placements.
