Deemed Colleges Vs NIT-Trichy

The link below by The Hindu discusses why Tamil Nadu state students do not obtain a seat in NIT- Trichy which holds 50% seats as state quota.
The main reason apart from the facts discussed in the article is the delay in announcing the results of AIEEE   leaving the students to join deemed universities over NIT in spite of qualifying with a decent score in the AIEEE. (for instance this year the deemed colleges ask the candidate to pay the full fees much before the NITs announce their counselling list, and a particulat college starts its academic session even before the date of NITs first counselling, which leaves many continuing in the deemed college as there is no refund of fee after the commencement of classes).
