Following a huge spurt in demand for arts and science course seats in city colleges this year, the syndicate of the University of Madras has approved adding 6,700 seats to the colleges affiliated to the university for the current academic year.
At least 42 colleges and six standalone institutions have already applied for increasing their seats.
“We will be approving 81 undergraduate sections and 33 postgraduate sections in the existing affiliated colleges. Of the 81, 46 will be for BCom course,” said P Duraisamy, vice-chancellor of the university.
Total additional seats to be approved will be about 5,500 undergraduate seats and 1,200 postgraduate seats for the academic year 2019-20.
With CBSE results being declared last week, this may allow city colleges to accommodate more students into courses that are in high demand. More seats will also address the concerns of CBSE students about getting admission into colleges of their choice.
“We had already instructed affiliated colleges not to close the admissions until the CBSE results are declared. The increase in seats will further benefit CBSE and state board students,” the VC said.
The university has also approved new programmes such as international studies, business economics, BVoc in tourism and hospitality, data science courses in various colleges in Chennai.

The new courses in colleges that will be started because of the addition in seats include: MA International Studies for Womens Christian College; BA Business Economics, B.Sc (IT) in New College; MSc Data Science in Loyola; MA Defence and Strategic Studies in Guru Nanak college; BVoc in banking, financial services and insurance, BVoc in tourism & hospitality, BCom Honours, MA HRM in Stella Maris College; BA Sanskrit in Sri Sankara Arts and Science College; BCom Professional Accounting, BSc Psychology, MCom(CS) in SDNB Vaishnav College; B.Com (Finance & Taxation), BCom Marketing Management in DG Vaishnav College in Arumbakkam.
