Random numbers have been generated on Wednesday for the students seeking engineering seats in the state as the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA 2021) registration closed on Tuesday.
Random numbers will be used to get a solution when many students score the same marks while ranking. The TNEA committee also announced that students, who have registered, could still have two days till Friday 5 pm to submit the payment online and upload their certificates.

“Names of all the co-ordinators and deputy co-ordinators, who were deployed in facilitation centres and their mobile numbers were also available on the TNEA portal,” he said adding “students could fix an appointment with them to visit the centre according to their convenience.”
Pointing out that the certificate verification would be done till September 3, the official said the merit list will be released on September 4.
