The government has come out with a scheme of enabling higher secondary students to register themselves online with employment exchanges at their respective schools.
This will be launched on Wednesday when the students, who have passed the higher secondary examinations, will go to their schools for collecting mark sheets.
In the next 15 days, the students can carry out the online registration and get identity cards.
Their seniority will be fixed as on May 25. On the day of registration, they will be given the details of registration.
The School Education and Labour and Employment Departments along with the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu is executing the scheme.
Tamil Nadu is the first State to implement such a scheme, Ms. Jayalalithaa told a press conference at the Secretariat.
Later, an official release issued by the Chief Minister stated that while going to their schools to receive the mark sheets, the students had been advised to bring photocopies of family cards that had their names along with the family cards in original.
Those who had registered themselves with the employment exchanges after passing 10th standard should produce the cards.
After the completion of registration process, those with disabilities should also register their seniority details with district employment offices.
Ms. Jayalalithaa added that the scheme was designed to save time and transport expenses of students who, on passing the 12th standard, registered themselves with employment exchanges for getting immediate seniority.
