CHENNAI: Higher education minister K P Anbazhagan on Thursday said the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling schedule would be announced only after NEET results are declared. This is because there are several engineering candidates who are also eligible for medical seats on the TNEA list.
The minister, who released the TNEA rank list at Anna University, told reporters that the dates for counselling for the single window admissions into engineering courses across the state had earlier been tentatively slated for June 27, but now the days would be dependent on NEET results.

Among the 6,733 top scorers on the TNEA list whose cut-off scores were in the range of 200 to 197, there are 5,376 candidates who are also eligible for medical seats.
“Since many of these students are also eligible for medical seats, there is a chance of them giving up the engineering seat if they opt for a medical one. This would only lead to difficulties later leading to vacancies in the top slots. So we will commence counselling once the medical results are out,” said Anbazhagan.
