The counselling process will begin after the release of the rank list. TNEA will conduct first the counselling for special categories and then the general counselling will be conducted.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TNEA committee will be verifying the certificates without calling the candidates to the facilitation centres. Anbalagan said that though the certificate verification for the majority of candidates has been completed, still a few students sought time to upload their certificates. Hence, the release of rank list is deferred to September 25.
