The Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) will conduct the annual engineering counselling following the resignation of M K Surappa, vice-chancellor of Anna University from Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) committee. Anna University has been conducting counselling for the last 22 years.
The vice-chancellor resigned as chairman of the TNEA following the differences over reconstitution of TNEA committee in which DOTE commissioner R Vivekanandan was made cochairman of the committee.
“Since the chairman of the committee has resigned, the co-chairman will conduct the counselling this year. We have also asked the university to provide technical help for conducting the online counselling,” Mangat Ram Sharma, higher education secretary, told TOI.
Sources said after the vice-chancellor’s resignation, there were many letters exchanged between Anna University and higher education department with regard to the counselling.
However, there are still doubts whether the university professors would work under the DOTE commissioner.
“The university professors who were part of TNEA’s co-ordination committee had skipped the recent meeting for counselling. Now, the question remains whether the university will take part in the counselling process,” a professor said.
When enquired, the officials from Anna University said that involving two institutions in the counselling process will lead to confusion. “Either it has to be done by Anna University or without. If Anna University has to be involved then the vicechancellor has to be the head of the committee,” they said.
Earlier, the university has informed the higher education department that it was willing to conduct online engineering counselling this year as per the old GO.
Anna University had come in for great appreciation from students, parents and academicians for the efficient manner in which engineering admissions was being conducted through a single window counselling.
However, the issue erupted when TNEA committee was reconstituted and additional members were added.
“The committee was constituted in November 2017 for a period of three years. There is no need to reconstitute the present committee after completing just one year,” an official said.
