Anna University has decided to put on hold engineering admission till the counselling for MBBS/BDS is completed, Higher Education Minister K.P. Anbalagan announced on Thursday.
Though he released the merit list for counselling for single window admission through the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission, 2017, he said that with nearly 5,000 candidates found eligible for medicine based on their cut-off marks, the department decided to wait for the medical counselling to get over. It was decided to postpone the counselling as the State followed a system wherein once allotted, a seat could not be re-allotted if it fell vacant, he said.
