The Covid-19 pandemic has brought changes to society in several aspects of people’s everyday life. One of them is the short and long-term impact on everyday mobility during the early stages of the pandemic and the post-pandemic period. This paper aims to study the effects on the mobility of UG engineering students for selection of Engineering Colleges in the pre and post-COVID-19 era. This study was done at Techno Engineering College Banipur, WB, India. This work utilized GIS to compare spatial distribution based on the home location of the students who have been taken admission between the 2017-18 and 2022-23 academic years. The paper intents to study the effects on students’ mobility using mean centers and standard deviational ellipse between different academic years. The result indicates that students are given preference select colleges nearer to their home locations after the pandemic than in the pre-pandemic period. Depending on our understanding we suggest some possible policies to the college authorities regarding the admission campaign, that can be carefully implemented, both in the short and long-term to help student mobility effects more efficiently and scientifically.
