Madurai: The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore, has received more applications this year for its B.Sc. courses compared to last year.
While only 1,224 seats are available for the first year B.Sc. courses, the number of applications received had crossed 6,000-mark.
P. Murugesa Boopathi, TNAU Vice-Chancellor, told The Hindu here on Sunday that more students are coming forward to study B.Sc.(Agriculture) and generally the placement prospects have increased for the students passing out of the university's affiliated colleges.
“This year we received 6,070 filled-in applications (6,682 sold) for first year UG courses while the number was 5,600 last year. Gradually, the interest for agriculture and related courses is picking up,” the Vice-Chancellor said after visiting the Agricultural College and Research Institute (ACRI) in Madurai.
Dr.Boopathi said that the TNAU is offering B.SC in Agriculture, Horticulture, Home Science, Forestry and Agricultural Engineering. The university has 10 colleges under its fold.
“I can say it is zero unemployment for our students. They are getting good placement in nationalised banks, private sector and State Government departments,” he said.
Admission process
The TNAU will release the rank list for admission to B.Sc. courses on June 9. Last date for receiving filled-in applications was over on June 4.
Dr.Boopathi said that the first phase of admission counselling would be held from June 16 to 20. For the special reservation quota like ex-servicemen/sports, the counselling would take place on June 29.
If there are any vacancies available after these two rounds, another round of counselling would be held after June 30.
The Vice-Chancellor said that the classes for first year UG students will start on June 22 in all its four agricultural colleges, two horticultural colleges and affiliated institutions for agri-engineering, home science and forestry.
He had a discussion with the Madurai District Collector C.Kamaraj on the courses being offered by the university through Open and Distance Learning mode during a meeting held at the Agricultural College and Research Institute here.
