Hello,

Yes, there is an ex-servicemen (Ex-Servicemen) quota for ME Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) admissions through TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test). This reservation is part of the special category seats for Tamil Nadu natives.

According to the TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) guidelines, 8 seats in University Departments, 34 in University Colleges, and 108 in Government and Government-aided Colleges are reserved for the sons and daughters of ex-servicemen. This totals 150 seats across various institutions.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • You must be a native of Tamil Nadu.

  • You should be the son or daughter of an ex-serviceman.

  • You need to provide relevant documents, such as the parent’s discharge certificate and ID card, to claim this quota.

This quota is available only to Tamil Nadu natives. If you are not a native of Tamil Nadu, you may not be eligible for this reservation.

Hope it helps !

Hello

Yes, Tamil Nadu does offer special reservations for ex-servicemen, but mostly in undergraduate admissions. For PG admissions through TANCET (CEETA-PG), the rules aren’t as clear. The current notifications don’t specifically mention an ex-serviceman quota for ME CS/IT. The quota may exist for wards of ex-servicemen, not ex-servicemen themselves. So, it’s best to check the latest prospectus or directly contact Anna University or DoTE. Have your documents, like a discharge certificate or ESM ID, ready, just in case. If you want, I can help you find the latest official document to confirm.
