From 2010, rank list and Class XII results could be expected on the same day
“Next year, DoTE [Directorate of Technical Education] will conduct admissions… with the assistance of the existing Anna University if necessary,” he said on Thursday, releasing the rank list.
This comes in the wake of Wednesday’s announcement in the Assembly that four university colleges of Anna University, Chennai, would be converted into a unitary university this year to relieve them of administrative tasks with regard to affiliated colleges, leaving them free to concentrate on research.
The list, released on Thursday, ranks the 1.25 lakh students competing for the 86,000-odd seats on offer so far in government colleges and under government quota of self-financing colleges.
The top 15 were tied with a cut-off of 200, having scored centums in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, as well as in their optional subjects. Therefore, they were ranked by age: Aravinth C.P. of Palani came first.
Counselling for the general candidates will begin on July 10, and all who have scored above 199 can appear that day. From the next day, 3,200 students will be counselled every day in eight sessions, for about 12 hours starting at 7-30 a.m. This is an increase from last year’s six sessions, in an effort to conclude the process quickly, said Mr. Ponmudy. He hoped that the shorter process would reduce the tension of parents and students and prevent them from paying capitation fees for seats in management quota in private colleges. Next year the aim will be to declare the rank list on the day the Class XII results are declared.
While it was impossible to prevent capitation fees entirely, the Minister felt the quantum of payment and incidence have fallen, thanks to the work of the government-appointed inspection committee and the increase in the number of seats.
However, he said the inspection committee was only a fact-finding team: it cannot take any action. “The university can’t take action, even the State government can’t… Only the AICTE can…,” he said.
When it was pointed out that the State itself has an Act prohibiting capitation fees, he said students and parents were not coming forward with evidence of payment. “There is not a shred of proof to take criminal action.”
