Number double that of last year; experts say students made wrong choices after being misguided
AS many as 994 students, who participated in the first round of the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling, have been re-allotted seats in the second round of the online counselling process this year which ended on Thursday.
The number of students from the first round seeking re-allotment in the second round, has more than doubled this year, compared to the figure last year. Only 475 students from the first round had opted for re-allotment in the second round last year.
Among these 994 students, at least 166 had scored more than 190 cut off marks out of the total 200. Moreover, five colleges were removed from the counselling process in the second round since Anna University cancelled their affiliations.
