TNEA registrations pick up pace at Tiruchi district's facilitation centres
A week after it was declared open, student registration for Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) has been proceeding at a brisk pace at the four facilitation centres in Tiruchi district, largely due to a resurgent interest in the subject this year. The TNEA committee had commenced single-window admission process for engineering, polytechnic, and arts and science programmes for the academic year 2025-26 on May 7. The last date to register for online admissions through is June 6 and the last date to upload documents is June 9. 'We have helped to register 70 students so far, and are expecting more in the coming weeks, as there is a greater interest in engineering this year. We had 1,024 registrations in the last academic year; the number may be significantly higher in 2025,' T. Senthilkumar, dean, University College of Engineering (BIT Campus), Anna University, told The Hindu. Besides the varsity, the Government Polytechnic Colleges in Thuvakudimalai and Srirangam, and Government College of Engineering, Srirangam, are the other TNEA Facilitation Centres (TFCs) in the district. 'There is a greater awareness of engineering among male and female students compared to previous years. We have already registered 50 persons in the past week,' said P. Vanitha Muthu, head, Department of Computer Science, and TFC coordinator at Government College of Engineering, Srirangam. The TFCs have deputed staff teams to help applicants complete the online registration. Sources said that quite a few students were opting to register through external e-service centres to save time. 'Applicants should be careful to see that the online form is filled correctly. Very often the selection for the First Generation Graduate Scholarship Scheme or the reservation available for government school students is missed by outside browsing centre staff, that could deprive the applicant from fee concessions. Rectification of data is a long-winded process, which is why it is better to get registered through a designated centre,' said a TFC team member.
