In Mangaluru, Karnataka, India, admissions for Pre-University (PU) courses have officially begun following the announcement of Class 10 results. There is a significant rise in applications for science and commerce streams, with students particularly favoring combinations that include computer science. This trend reflects a continued interest in careers in fields such as medicine and engineering. Private and aided colleges are reporting heavy footfall, indicating a higher demand than in previous years. For instance, at Vidvath PU College in Belthangady, the PCMC (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science) combination is the most sought after. Conversely, government PU colleges are experiencing a slower response, with only 10-12 applications received so far, as many students opt for part-time jobs post-exams and delay their admissions. The admissions process is expected to continue until May 25, when colleges reopen.
