  • Lack of targeted advertisements to out-state students

OPPORTUNITIES

  • Strong alumni
  • Acclaimed Student Exchange Programme with European countries

THREAT

  • Public perception towards funded colleges
  • Declining students’ interest towards technical subjects

Answer:

FOR THE ARGUMENT

1️⃣ The  information provided indicates the options Gurmeet will consider to make the right decision about enrolling in a publicly funded engineering school. 2️⃣ With access to a strong curriculum, quality teaching staff, and active activity clubs, she is assured of a rich educational journey.There are no hostels available, but she has taken advantage of accommodation in the suburbs or in the village. 3️⃣ You can choose to move daily from practice-oriented studies, partnerships with professional companies, and good opportunities for international student exchange programs improve their professional and interpersonal skills. Hard work, responsible behavior, and careful decision-making can help Gurmeet succeed in college, despite a rigid and conventional culture. Strength and potential speak for Gurmeet. 4️⃣ The university and government should seize this opportunity  to correct misperceptions of public universities and student attitudes towards engineering courses.
