Counselling for undergraduate courses in animal husbandry, dairy and poultry sciences at the Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (Tanuvas) is expected to be held in the last week of July, said vice-chancellor S Thilagar.
Thilagar said the counselling was scheduled to begin on July 19 but had been postponed due to a delay in the CBSE Class XII results. The university had originally scheduled May 31 as the last date for submitting applications online. This was subsequently extended to June 5, he said.
Till Monday evening, the university received 23,031 applications for the four courses it offers including BVSc animal husbandry, BTech food technology, BTech poultry technology and BTech dairy technology. While the animal husbandry course has the maximum number of undergraduate seats, at 320, the remaining courses have 20 seats each, he said. The university received 17,087 applications for the animal husbandry course, 2,646 for food technology, 1,205 for poultry technology and 2,083 for dairy technology. Last year, the university received over 18,000 applications in all.
The applications have to be scrutinised to verify various documents including community certificates, Thilagar said. The process is likely to begin next week and, once the university completes that, it will send letters to eligible students to attend counselling, he added.
In 2015, when the cut-off mark for medicine dipped, more than 150 students from four veterinary colleges in the state switched over to medicine from second-year undergraduate course in animal husbandry and allied courses, and those seats could not be filled.
