Tamilnadu Assembly passes bill to abolish CET


Tamilnadu CET Scrapped !

No MoreTamilnadu Professional Course Entrance Examination (TNPCEE) for tamilnadu students.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly today passed the bill to abolish Common Entrance Tests for admission to professional courses. (for admission to under graduate professional courses in the state.)

On the basis of the recommendations of the expert committee headed by Dr M Ananthakrishnan, former Vice Chancellor of Anna University, the Government had decided to bring forward a legislation abolishing CETs in the State in the winter session of the State Assembly.

The committee, after hearing the views of the students and parents for more than three months, had submitted its report to Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. The report was also discussed by the state cabinet.

From the coming academic year(2007) only marks secured by students in Class 12 exam will be considered for admission to under graduate courses.

This means the ranking list of students will be decided on the basis of their marks in Class 12 and not on the basis of CET.

This will include engineering and medical colleges run by the state government and self-financing institutions.
