More than 20% of the candidates who applied for engineering counselling this year did not attend the certificate verification held from June 7 to 12 at 46 centres across the state.

“As on Tuesday, we called 1,14,735 candidates for certificate verification, with 90,996 participating and 23,739 skipping it,” a Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) committee official said.

The state government has extended the certificate verification until Thursday. However, the number of absentees is less than half compared to last year’s figure.

Online counselling is likely to be conducted in four rounds against the five rounds thet were held last year.

“The dates for online counselling will be announced while releasing the engineering rank list. But, the process would be similar to last year,” the official said.

In the first round, the candidates will get five days to make payment. “They will get three days to fill their choices and will get the tentative allotment order on the fourth day. They have to confirm within two days to get the provisional allotment order,” the official added.

The admission booklet contains information about 494 engineering colleges that are participating in the counselling process this year. It has also published the cut-off marks for the last three years of all the engineering colleges and branches.

For online counselling, the order of choice plays a crucial role. “Students can give any number of choices. However, they must prioritize the courses based on their interest. The branch they are less interested in should be listed only at the bottom,” a professor from an engineering college said.
