Blessing with cursing

The principal of St Stephen’s College, New Delhi Mr.Valsan Thampu writing (It’s not about the brand) in the Indian Express says that: 

• As against the 12,000 applications for 400 seats in 2007, there were 28,000 in 2010. Perhaps we should be proud? Perhaps not! 

In case he is proud, what is the purpose? When he deprives thousands of students by simply denying admission to the institutions by simply not expanding the number of seats available with teachers and other facilities!!!!!
