The 2ommon (ntrance Test, conducted over the years &y Anna University in the name of the Tamil
*adu Professional 2ourses (ntrance (<amination 6T*P2((:, for admission to professional courses
in the state as a&olished in 155C,/"0 ?tarting in the academic year 155#45$, students ere admitted
to engineering colleges on the &asis of their Plus4To marks and their caste,/!50
The reason stated for the a&olition of the 2(T is that it places ur&an students at an advantage over
rural students and causes significant e<pense &urden on poor andEor rural students, This has resulted
in su&stantially greater percentage of students from rural and E or poor &ackgrounds in o&taining
admission to institutions of e<cellence predominantly in ur&an areas, 3t has also increased the
&urden of the teaching staff in such institutions to &ring such students up to speed on par ith their
ur&an peers and led to percepti&le donfall in their placement percentages over the years,
