More than 460 engineering colleges are functioning under anna university in tamil Nadu. These colleges have to renew their affiliation accreditation annually with the All india Council for Technical education (AICTE) and Anna University. Only after that the engineering colleges can take admissions.

Accordingly, the process of renewing the accreditation of engineering colleges for the coming academic year 2023-24 started last January. The deadline for applying for AICTE accreditation is april 23. Similarly, the registration of applications for approval of affiliation with anna university also ended on april 24. Meanwhile, it has been reported that 6 private colleges have not applied for recognition even though the deadline has passed.

The officials of anna university said: "6 colleges have not submitted their applications for affiliation approval for the academic year 2023-24. Due to this, first year admissions will not take place in those colleges. The number of colleges participating in the consultation this year is likely to decrease due to incomplete infrastructure facilities in major educational institutes. Thus they said.

Engineering colleges in tamil Nadu aim to add 8,490 seats to their BE and BTech programmes next year in order to capitalise on the surge in student interest in degrees in artificial intelligence, data science, cyber security, IT, and computer science.

The institutions also intend to eliminate 2,946 seats from the civil and mechanical engineering programmes. Additionally, there will be 750 seats from electrical, electronics, communication, and electronics. According to data released by anna university, 134 institutions requested to modify their admissions for the academic year 2023–2024.
