Counselling - Archive

PROCESS

The counselling will be held at the Examination Centre, Anna University Chennai, Chennai - 600 025.
Individual communications are sent to candidates calling them to appear for counselling.
Candidates will be called for counselling in the order of their merit. Based on the merit and communal reservation, allotment to the branch/college chosen by the candidate will be made. Candidates have to opt for colleges and branches that are available at the time of counselling.
Eligible candidates who have applied and whose total marks are as specified or above, may appear for counselling along with their original certificates for verification, irrespective of the receipt of individual communication. If the ranking of candidate gets altered due to re-totalling/revaluation of mark, he/she can attend counselling as per the new mark and rank, though the call letter specifies different date (as per original mark).
If a candidate has deposited all the certificates in an institution where he/she has already been admitted, a letter from the Head of the institution should be produced to that effect. In that case only, attested xerox copies of certificates will be accepted for verification.
Due to unforeseen reasons, if a candidate could not attend the counselling on the specified date and time, he/she can attend on a subsequent time/date, during the counselling period. But the candidate can only opt for the seats available at that time and cannot claim any seat as per original rank.

The position is seen by the candidate - college wise, course wise and community wise.

He is very likely to get one of the three options. In a rare case of not being able to get in any of the three, then he can go for another three options.

Once the candidate signs the order, the admission is finalised.
