Tamil Nadu will soon be writing to the Centre against the revamp of University Grants Commission (UGC) and continue with the present model of funding universities across the country, said Tamil Nadu higher education minister K P Anbalagan.

The ministry has set a July 20 deadline and plans are on to send the letter this week, he added on the sidelines of an event here on Tuesday.

In response to queries on Anna University counselling, he said the government will be approaching the Madras high court on July 13 to take a call on the schedule to fill seats.

Referring to colleges in neighbouring states, he denied claims that there was no significant change in number of students aspiring to join engineering in colleges affiliated to Anna University though more have expressed interest in joining arts and science colleges.
