Candidates get provisional allotment to colleges displaying ‘zero' intake during second round of counselling for TNEA
The process of provisional allotment of seats during the second round of counselling for Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) has thrown up a glaring error. At least 36 students were given provisional allotment to five engineering colleges that displayed 'zero' seat availability during Round 2 on the TNEA website, although they had displayed their full sanctioned seat availability during Round 1. R. Ashwin, independent career guidance counsellor who detected the error while analysing the second round intake, said that he approached officials seeking clarification but nobody was willing to talk. Whether or not the Anna University withdrew affiliation for these colleges is not clearly known. The Hindu tried to reach out to officials but there was no response. However, a high-ranked official reportedly responded to Mr. Ashwin stating that the students were being reallotted to different colleges. According to Mr. Ashwin, the colleges in question were Sri Venkateswara Institute of Science and Technology, Thiruvallur, Ganapathy Chettiar College of Engineering and Technology, Paramakudi, Arul Tharum VPMM College of Engineering and Technology, Srivilluputhur, Cheran College of Technology, Tiruppur, and Vishnu Lakshmi College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore. Out of the 36 students, 25 belonged to the government schools (7.5 per cent reservation) category. While comparing the seat availability charts of Round 1 and Round 2, Mr. Ashwin discovered that a few courses in at least three colleges were also closed, and a few students were allotted to some of these seats. For example, in Sun College of Engineering and Technology, Kanniyakumari, allotments were made for two students in Food Technology and Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering courses although these two courses showed 'zero' seat availability for Round 2 on the TNEA website.

As many as 30,096 candidates were allotted seats in the first round of counselling under the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA). A total of 41,807 candidates from the general category, including academic and vocational streams, and those under the 7.5% preferential reservation for government school students, were called.

Anna University's departments at Madras Institute of Technology, Chromepet, has filled 96.9% of its available seats. Meanwhile, SSN College of Engineering in Kalavakkam had filled 98% of its seats in the first round leaving 10 seats vacant. Students who got provisional allotment through upward movement should join the colleges by August 4. The fee paid by the candidates and their certificates surrendered to the TNEA Facilitation Centres would be sent to the respective colleges, officials said.
