TNEA counselling starts today, demand may rise for core courses
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|July 14, 2025
TAMIL Nadu Engineering Admission (TNEA) counselling for general category students will begin from Monday, as per the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE).
If experts are to be believed, courses related to electronics engineering are likely to be the first choice of students this year.
Academicians and career counsellors said trends indicate an uptick in demand for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) due to slowdown in the IT sector and booming semiconductor industry in the country.
"During career counselling events, enquiries related to ECE courses have increased manifold. Students were interested to know about the career opportunities the course offers," said career counsellor, Jayprakash Gandhi.
