TN relaxes rule to enrol all Class XII students in second year diploma through lateral entry admissions
Previously, only students who studied in the maths group and vocational group could directly enrol in the second year through lateral entry admissions.
"All principals are being allowed to admit Class XII students, including commerce students who cleared the exams, directly in the second year," a circular from DOTE to all the principals of polytechnic colleges said. Of the 7,92,494 students who appeared for the Class XII exams, 7,53,142 students cleared the Class XII state board exams.
Tamil Nadu has 492 polytechnic colleges, including 55 govt polytechnic colleges, with an intake of 1,43,499 seats.
However, admission to polytechnic colleges has been declining in the past few years. Last year, the polytechnic colleges enrolled 58,426 students, which is only around 40%. As part of the efforts to improve admissions, the state govt has now allowed students from all streams in Class XII to join polytechnic colleges.

"The govt is revamping the curriculum for diploma courses to impart industry-relevant skills to students. So, the maths subject in the second year has been replaced with skill-oriented courses. It won't be a problem for students from other streams to study the diploma courses," a principal from a polytechnic college said. The principal also mentioned that students from other streams will not have much difficulty at the diploma level as all of them studied maths till Class X.
Academicians have proposed bridge courses for students coming without a maths background. "Students cannot study engineering without a maths background. This bridge course will help them master fundamental engineering concepts and get trained in industry-relevant skills," Anna University former vice-chancellor R Velraj said.
This year, the state govt is taking various efforts, including a campaign to enrol dropouts in Class X and XI, to increase admissions in polytechnic colleges.

Jonathan Schiessl sees limited impact on India from US tariff moves
"There's still a lot of uncertainty—as is always the case with U.S. trade negotiations these days. But overall, I'd say the market is fairly sanguine and is looking beyond much of the bluster. Hopefully, with dialogue still ongoing, some sort of deal can eventually be hammered out," says Jonathan Schiessl , Westminster Asset Management . Is this uncertainty in the markets short-term, or is it likely to extend over a period of time, given that we don't yet know whether these secondary tariffs will actually receive Congressional ratification? Jonathan Schiessl: Yes, I think it's very interesting. I completely agree with what's just been said. My take is that the market is currently dismissing a lot of these tweets and comments as mere bargaining chips. As a result, investors are largely looking past them. That said, there's still a lot of uncertainty—as is always the case with U.S. trade negotiations these days.

HomeLane Get Quote Undo Considering the current situation and how it's likely to unfold, in your opinion, how soon is a breakthrough likely, given Trump's past behavior with other countries? And what could India and the U.S. potentially settle for? Jonathan Schiessl: This situation is somewhat different from some of the other deals we've seen—with smaller Southeast Asian countries, or even with the UK and the EU—where European countries arguably did give in to some extent. But clearly, how this plays out is very difficult to predict. Things can change at the last moment. Of course, we often see headline deals being announced, but the actual details usually take much longer to finalize. So yes, it's quite possible that we'll get a headline deal, but like most others, it may be light on detail. That said, I believe India is in a better position than economies like the EU. As mentioned earlier, India is primarily a domestic and consumption-driven story. While exports—particularly in manufacturing and other specific sectors—do matter, they aren't the primary drivers of the broader economy. So yes, a deal is possible, but much of the rhetoric from Washington seems like bluster. I'd say India has a reasonably strong hand to play in these negotiations. Live Events

We have done very little business with India; their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world." Trump said. Trump sharply attacked India's trade barriers and directly targeted its Russian oil purchases and military equipment. He announced 25 per cent tariffs on all Indian imports and threatened an additional "penalty" in response to India's energy purchases.
