Higher Education Minister KP Anbalagan said on Monday that as the rank list release was postponed to June 20, the counselling for students from reserved category would start on June 25 instead of June 20 as announced earlier. Reserved category includes differently abled persons, sports quotaand ex-servicemen.
Similarly, counselling for vocational group would be held from June 26 to 28 at the Central Polytechnic. “After releasing the rank list, SMS regarding their counselling date and time will be send to all students who applied online,” the minister added.
According to sources in the department, the certificate verification process was getting delayed due to lack of staff. Till last year, Anna University was handling the counselling. However, this year, DoTE took over counselling after Anna University refused to do it following a tug-of-war with the Higher Education Department over an amendment in counselling committee.
