Preparations for the longest academic carnival in Anna University have been set in motion. On Monday, random numbers for around 1.50 lakh applicants would be generated.
Random numbers help when more than one candidate has the same mark in mathematics, physics, chemistry, fourth optional subject and share the date of birth. In such an event, applicant with higher random number will get preference. Each applicant is assigned a 10-digit computer-generated number, which is later used to prepare the merit list.
Merit list
On Monday, the merit list of candidates for MBBS/BDS courses offered through single window counselling will be released. Over 32,000 applications were received by the Directorate of Medical Education this year and random numbers were generated last week for all the applicants.
The first phase of counselling for seats under government quota is expected to begin on June 19 and end by June 25.
