The fixation to engineering touched on the new highs in Tamil Nadu as the number of candidates applying for counseling increased by 14% compared to the previous year. The harsh NEET paper, curiosity about emerging technologies, reduced interest in pure science (BSC course), and high yield fees on management quota sheets have been cited as reasons for more applications headed for engineering counseling this year.The last day of your engineering counseling application is June 6th. In less than a day, Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) received 2,95,134 applications. Of the applicants, 2,39,871 had paid the fee, but as of Thursday they paid 2,14,005 uploaded certificates.
Last year, 2,48,848 candidates were registered online, and 2,09,653 candidates submitted fees to participate in counseling. “Following the release of Neet Answer Key, we've received more inquiries about our management quota engineering sheet. The uneasy NEET experience could potentially lead to more engineering applications.”Career consultant Jayaprakash Gandhi thought that he prefers engineering to pure science as the main reason for more applications this year. “The university collects high fees for (physics/chemistry/mathematics) management quota sheets. Therefore, many students have sought counseling to participate in the BTECH seat through relatively cheap government quotas,” he said.
He added that the number of students choosing science flows in high schools has also increased compared to last few years.Scholars focus on generation AI tools as popular drivers for engineering courses. Admissions to the Management Quota increased this year with more students opting for Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, AI and Data Science and ECE courses. Computer Science Engineering continues to be the biggest option, as BSC computer science has been popular among arts and science students.Engineering counseling preferences challenge four years later and visit candidates' employment potential and appropriate job availability in the market.
“Students will be employed unless they have sound engineering knowledge and are willing to adapt to the evolving technology of AI modules, development committees and tools. This is a perspective that finds resonance among industry leaders as well. “The world is becoming more and more technology-intensive. This provides great opportunities for specialist engineers thanks to the rapid innovation that occurs at the intersection of technology and business,” said Ramkumar Ramamoorthy, former CMD, Cognizant India and partner at Catalincs, a Tech Growth Advisory company.“No country has attracted over 500 global 1,000 companies in the decade except India. With its coverage of a variety of industries, including electronics, health sciences, energy, manufacturing, financial services, retail and telecoms, these companies have created a beeline for India, established a POW Technology Centre (GCC) and hired thousands,” he added. “This growth trend is a thriving, technology-driven startup ecosystem by Indian companies with strong investments in technology and a thriving technology-driven startup ecosystem, providing a platform for engineers to build careers in selected research fields,” he signed off.
