Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission

Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission (TNEA 2009) Civil and Mechanical seats doubled.
This year, the Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nadu virtually doubled their seats in Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
Several colleges have introduced civil and mechanical courses for the first time, others have enhanced their existing seats substantially. This resulted in the doubling of the seats available in civil engineering under the government quota and has increased by more than 100%.
Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA 2009) data, as on July 13, exposes that 6,955 seats had been included in civil engineering for allotment through the single window counseling system compared to the 3,356 seats available under the common pool in the previous admission season. With more new colleges being added for single window counseling daily, the number of seats is certain to go up further.
The attractiveness of the civil engineering course can be determined from the fact that while last year none of the 59 new private engineering colleges offered the course, this year as many as 32 of the 49 new colleges, including four Anna University constituent colleges, have introduced the course.
Of course, this was the trend last year also and then there was an increase of over 98%.
