While 173 engineering colleges couldn’t even fill 10 per cent of their seats, 7 government institutions could not fill even 50 per cent of their seats. Only 33 colleges filled more than 80 per cent of their seats,” Mr.Gandhi has pointed out in his analysis of TNEA 2022 third round analysis report of academic general counselling for engineering admissions (excluding vocational and government 7.5 per cent quota).

“This year, at the end of third round of counselling, still there are 86,784 seats vacant out of the total number of 1,39,251 engineering seats. Till now 37.7 per cent of the seats have been filled and so we can expect this year that 62,000 seats will remain vacant at the end of fourth round of academic counselling for engineering admissions in Tamil Nadu. Three colleges filled all the 100 per cent seats out of which only one is self-financing. The 3 colleges that filled 100 per cent seats are CECRI Karaikudi, PSG Institute of Technology and School of Architecture-Chennai,” the analysis report has said.
