93% engineering seats filled in State
Of the total 83,054 available engineering seats in the State for the academic year 2025-26, 77,561 seats (about 93%) have been allotted as of the first phase allotment of seats, EAPCET 2025 Convenor A. Sridevasena informed on Friday. Eighty-two institutions in the State – six university level and 76 private institutions saw a 100% allotment. A total of 172 institutions, most of them 149 private institutions, participated in the allotment process. A 100% allotment and seats were filled for courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Business System, CSE (IoT and Cyber Security), and CSE (Networks). Full allotments were also in various Electronics & Electrical, Civil and other engineering courses such as Chemical Engineering, Geo Informatics and Agricultural Engineering. As per the web-based counselling for admission to engineering colleges conducted, a mock allotment was published, modifications to the probable allotment were followed and the allotment in the first phase made. Compared to mock allotments, the first phase allotments saw 36,544 candidates changing their college or branch. Category-wise allotment showed that the maximum was for candidates from BC-B category (15,897), followed by open category (15,470), BC-D (13,478), ST (7,921), and SC-II (7,842). Gender-wise, male candidates' allotment was 54.1% and female candidates 45.9% In all, over 95,000 candidates attended certificate verification, and 94,354 candidates exercised options. A total of 6,083 candidates secured allotments under the Economically Weaker Section quota. As of Friday, 5,493 seats are vacant. Ms. Sridevasena stressed that self-reporting system by candidates is a mandatory exercise. The process can be completed by logging on the official website: Candidates who get allotment in the second phase but do not report to the allotted college will not be allowed to exercise options in the final phase of counselling.

Computer Science, ECE preferred choice during round 1 of engineering college admission counselling in Tamil Nadu
Computer Science and Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) seem to be the streams of choice for candidates this year, as 35,125 candidates were given tentative allotment of seats after the first round of counselling for Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) for the academic year 2025-26. Early trends indicated an uptick in demand for the ECE stream when compared to last year. According to R. Ashwin, an education counsellor who has been following the engineering admissions closely, ECE has overtaken IT and AI courses as a preferred choice for candidates this year, as indicated by the first round trends. In the top 10 colleges in the State, almost all seats in core engineering streams – Computer Science and Engineering, ECE, Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering – have been filled after the first round itself, Mr. Ashwin said. What is interesting is that circuit-related courses like Computer Science and ECE were on demand even in colleges lower down the ranking list. Also, Chennai and Coimbatore remained the destinations of choice for candidates, as top colleges in these cities witnessed a spurt in preference during the first round. While the top constituent colleges in Anna University such as College of Engineering Guindy (CEG) and Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) remained top on the preference list of candidates, the various university colleges of engineering of Anna University found themselves lower down the pecking order. TNEA officials said 32,663 candidates under the general category and 2,462 candidates from the government schools (7.5% reservation) category were given tentative allotments. They will release provisional allotment order for those candidates who have confirmed their tentative allotment by Friday evening. Candidates who did not get their seat of choice and have opted for the upward option while accepting the allotment would have to wait for the residual seats after the first round of admissions get over on July 23. In the vocational stream, 1,416 candidates were given tentative allotments, including 214 from the government schools (7.5% reservation) category.
