Given the increase in demand for arts and science courses and decline in engineering placements, more students are opting for law-related courses. As a result, there is cut-throat competition for seats in colleges affiliated to Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University (TNDALU).
The rank list and minimum eligibility score (or cutoff) for 2018-19 admissions were released on Tuesday. This year 91.5% has been set as the cut-off score for general category candidates to get admitted into the five year integrated law course (BA LLB).
This figure was set at 93.625% last year. The minor dip was attributed to a drop in overall performance of Tamil Nadu state board students in their final exams this year. Applications for the integrated course were issued from June 1.
A total of 7,644 applications were received for 1,411 sanctioned seats in 11affiliated colleges across Tamil Nadu. Of these, 300 were rejected. This implies that this year five students are competing for one seat. “The application figure was below 6,000 a few years ago and reached a peak of 9,500 last year because of the confusion over engineering counselling at Anna University and NEET,” said a senior TNDALU official on condition of anonymity.
The university in its press release has announced that call letters would be sent to all the eligible candidates via post and they can also download the same from TNDALU's official website (http://tndalu.ac.in) Eligible candidates, who did not receive the call letter or are unable to download it, can arrive at the counselling venue directly with relevant documents and ID proof, the release added.
Counselling for general category seats will begin on July
23. For SC/ST candidates, counselling has been scheduled on July 24 and seats under reserved communities will be held on the next two days. As far as the five-year integrated honours course is concerned, counselling will be held on July 21.
