When I was seeking admissions for my son who did his schooling from a CBSE school, one thing was clear- that he would stand no chance in getting a seat into Anna University through the single window counselling for the branch he wanted in the top few colleges of Tamil Nadu.
This took me to exploring the college admissions done through management quota- and I thought I should share my knowledge to the parents who are surfing the net like I did.
These are mostly the Private colleges which are striving to out beat each other by various strategies.
I will cover the three colleges which I approached..
SSN
SVCE, Sriperambathur
RMK
SSN is very straight forward and very secretive. One needs to approach the office at Mylapore for the details. But the staff there are very co operative and answer all the questions raised, individually to each and every one. Nothing regarding admission through this quota is available on the website.
The institute admits students purely through merit in all its three categories: Sports/ NRI/ Others
The forms for the management quota is usually given after the final exams and the date of submission is after the results are announced. Students can apply under one of the above category only, meaning only one form per candidate is allowed.
After submission of the form, the call letter for counselling is intimated through post, only for the candidates selected from the lot and it is based on the merit list. However the college allots 5 marks as grace for students of CBSE. But this does not guarantee a seat in the college.
The counselling process is for a whole day at the college campus - with an online exam and a personal interview. It is done in 3 sessions for 2-3 days hence one will understand that the selection is done in a fair manner.
The results are however announced after 10 days which leaves many students enrolling in other deemed colleges where they have already paid the initial fee during the counselling and would have to pay the remaining amount which is partially refundable before the results announced.
SVCE - The process is very simple. A form has to be obtained during Jan/Feb and submitted before the said date. The information is passed telephonic ally about the date when the parent has to meet the management, this usually falls during the board exams, so we can keep the whole process a hush hush from our children. The slot for the meeting is based on the branch one is seeking for and the marks the student obtained during the 10th exams. The rest is like a usual management seat quota where one is told about the amount to be made through cheque to a given organisation, etc..
The amount varies from branch to branch and its a no installment no deduction basis. Once the payment is done in full the seat is confirmed irrespective of the marks obtained by the student in the boards , only a pass certificate is needed.
RMK - Though I did not personally approach this institution, the process was similar with the payment of the amount to seek admission. Both these colleges wanted the payment to be made before the announcement of the results which put many parents in a fix. One is not given the option to back out even if the child fairs good in other entrance test, and there is no refund of the money once paid... and the amount is nothing small.
Hope it was of some use...
Happy admission seeking...
I stood confused and muddled up last year..
Now its your turn..
