This year, under the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission counselling, more than 1.5 lakh engineering aspirants were expected to get themselves enrolled in various colleges in the state through online counselling.
Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission sources said that as on Friday, as many as 16,259 students have registered to seek admission in engineering colleges. Of the total, 14,085 students have registered themselves online and the rest used the facilitation centres.
“On Friday alone, a total of 8,839 students registered themselves, out of which, as many as 1,124 candidates approached facilitation centres for enrolment,” Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission sources added.
However, the original certificate verification for all the applicants will be done at the facilitation centres. The facilitation centres would provide the required support and guidance to the applicants, besides extending internet-enabled computer facilities.
A booklet containing information about colleges would be provided to the applicants to prepare their choice list and the centres would also screen videos demonstrating how to use the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission portal during various stages of counselling.
Applicants can use the facilitation centres to complete the different processes like registration of applications, providing college preferences and collection of allotment orders.
Subsequently, a merit list will be prepared for the eligible applicants and published through the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission portal.
A week would be allocated for addressing applicants’ grievances after the publication of the merit list. The online registration will conclude on May 30.
Following it, the applicants would be grouped based on a merit list, and each group of applicants would be allowed into the counselling system round-wise.
