Education200614 sections

This law governs how students are admitted to professional courses like medicine, engineering, and architecture in Tamil Nadu. It applies to government colleges, aided institutions, and private unaided schools. The Act mandates that admissions to government seats and most private seats be based on marks from the qualifying exam, while reserving 15 percent of seats in unaided colleges for Non-Resident Indians. It also establishes rules for normalizing marks from different education boards to ensure a fair comparison. This framework is essential for maintaining transparency and equity in higher education admissions.
