Anna University will begin its single window admission process this academic year with around 1.89 lakh seats. The Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions 2017 has received only 1,41,077 applications, which officials said was more than last year.
On Tuesday, random numbers used to prepare inter-se-merit where more than one candidate has secured the same mark were generated for all the applicants. The inter-se-merit among the candidates would be determined in the order of priority based on percentage of marks in mathematics; physics; fourth optional subject; date of birth (elder will be given preference); and random number assigned (higher value will be given preference).
The 10-digit seed number was generated using two numbers each contributed by higher education secretary Sunil Paliwal; Anna University registrar S. Ganesan; College of Engineering Dean T.V. Geetha; a parent and a member of the media. The seed number, 8536692309 was used as the base to assign random numbers to all the applicants.
