Coimbatore: The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) will issue online application for agriculture and allied courses starting May 12. The single-window admission will commence on June 27.
TNAU offers 13 courses in agricultural sciences and engineering in 10 constituent colleges and 18 affiliated colleges, of which two are new colleges.
The university has approved Adhiyamaan College of Agriculture and Research, Hosur, and Krishna College of Agriculture and Technology, Madurai. Both the colleges will offer the four-year BSc agriculture programme.
"The colleges have been trying for approval for the last three years, but there were issues pertaining to land requirement, which the colleges fulfilled this year," said TNAU vice-chancellor K Ramasamy.
The addition of two new colleges has increased the intake capacity from 2,460 seats in 2015-16 to 2,600 this year. Also, the university has introduced the central government rule of restricting 35% seats in affiliated colleges under the management quota. Also, 15% of the total seats in the constituent colleges have been allotted for admissions in other state quota and NRI category. A total of 10 seats in each degree programme has been allocated for candidates sponsored by agro-based industries and NRI quota.
Like last year, candidates will be able to apply online only. TNAU has set up help desks in its constituent colleges and research centres to help candidates with applying online.
