The process of identifying beneficiaries under the 7.5% reservation for students in TN government schools to get admissions In 2021, the Tamil Nadu government adopted a bill in the State assembly to allocate 7.5% of seats on a ‘preferential basis’ for students in State-run schools to get admissions in engineering, agriculture, veterinary, fisheries, law, and other professional courses offered in universities, private colleges, government-aided and governmentcolleges.
Accordingly, students, who wanted to avail the quota, should have to studied continuously in State-run schools from Classes 6 to 12. This year, over 7,000 students have availed the special reservation quota and got admissions, especially in the engineering colleges across the State. However, there were complaints from students and parents about several formalities such as getting a TC from schools to avail the reservation.
A senior official from the Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) said that students who have studied continuously from classes 6 to 12 in the same government school did not face any problems. “However, students might have studied in government schools according to the prescribed period. However, those who studied in different government schools faced issues especially to avail transfer certificate from each school,” he pointed out.
