Despite the fact that India has made significant progress in engineering and technical education over the last two decades, maintaining student admission and enrollment intact, particularly in engineering programs, is a desirable goal for many institutions and universities. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issue of declining admissions to engineering/technology branches in Maharashtra, as well as the need to make core engineering courses more appealing to prospective students. current trends in engineering admissions vis-à-vis intake admission vacancy, uncertainty of opening and shutting down of colleges, and irregularity in opting courses. To address this issue, it suggests a number of corrective and preventive measures, including improving core engineering courses, working with industries to assist students in attaining employment, encouraging and promoting research in fundamental engineering fields, offering internships and financial aid, and educating the general public and students about the importance of core engineering courses. By adopting the required measures to make basic engineering areas appealing to students, the study emphasizes how important it is to preserve the dynamic ecosystem of engineering and technology education.Keywords
