I had applied to other universities too- TNEU, TANUVAS, TAMIL NADU ARTS AND SCIENCE, NEET. Was allocated seats almost in all colleges and I had to choose one. Becoming a doctor was my dream as i could not get into a medical school I opted Bsc hons food, nutrition and dietetics to be my ideal choice as it can help me become a dietetician or allow me to help the public. The admission process was through my 12th grade mark followed by application in the TNAU portal and a counselling session. We have a sliding opportunity, which enables us to choose a better college as per our chosen order of colleges. Looks complicated but is a better and simple system

The eligibility for this course is that the students should get more than 50% in 12th board exam to apply TNAU Counselling. The cutoff of the students should be greater than 190 for general,188 for SC & ST and more than 182 for Sports quota. I prefer this college because of its ranking.

I attempted neet but I got low marks so I didn't get the chance for a medical seat. Then I don't have the opportunity to apply for engineering counselling. So I applied for agriculture and it is my third choice.
