ENGINEERING COURSES IN TAMILNADU




How many students apply for engineering courses in Tamilnadu? How many seats are vacant?

Over 1.5 lakh students have applied for engineering courses in 2018. 

There has been a slow, but consistent increase in the number of engineering aspirants in the State over the last three years, according to data released by Anna University.

1.38 lakh students registered for admissions in 2016. 
1.45 lakh students registered for admissions in 2017. 
Over 1.5 lakh students applied for admissions in 2018. 

Although there is a marginal increase to 1.5 lakh applicants this year, almost two lakh seats are available. There are 560 colleges that students can get in through Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) 2018.

At least 720 additional seats were created this year as regional campuses of Anna University in Tirunelveli, Madurai and Coimbatore, which only run postgraduate engineering courses, will have undergraduate courses also from the coming academic year.

Roughly about 25 per cent of the candidates who apply, will not show up for counselling. Even when about 1.4 lakh students applied last year, only 80,000 students joined college.

In the academic year 2017-18, over 1.11 lakh seats were vacant in engineering colleges in the State.
