Data of the past four years from the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) show that barely half the number of sanctioned seats under government quota have been filled during the single window admissions.
The number of colleges under the single-window counselling has been steadily falling. The details for this year are yet to emerge as Anna University is yet to finalise the list of colleges that have obtained the approval of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
This year, the number of engineering aspirants registering for the counselling has crossed 2.11 lakh. The final count stood at 2,11,905 (as of July27), according to the TNEA. It had given two additional days – the deadline for which ended on Friday – to complete the registration and fee payment, which would make candidates eligible for certificate verification and counselling.
