vn1997:

How do you explain the strange rise from 07-08 to 08-09 (19 to 31)

More admissions than graduations?

vn1997:

Or the drop from 12-13 to 13-14 (30 to 21)

More graduations than admissions?

Seriously. I would think an Engineer would be more adept at simple mathematical modeling. This is akin to someone calculating that there are an average of 5.1 Indian nationals admitted every year for the last 20 years, and then calculating that, since they are number 4 in the mix they have it made and then getting upset with the institution for only admitting three that year.
