Selection and Allotment Process in Supplementary Counselling

- Eligible candidates report in person at GCT Coimbatore on their designated date and time slot.
- Original certificates are verified on the spot by the counselling authority.
- The list of vacant seats across participating colleges is displayed at the venue.
- Candidates are called in order of TANCET rank (within their category) and asked to choose from the currently available vacant seats.
- Allotment is made on the spot; there is no pre-declared allotment list before the day.
- Candidates accepting a seat are expected to complete admission formalities and, in many cases, report to the allotted college immediately or within a short window specified by the counselling authority.
Documents Required for Supplementary Counselling
Candidates should carry original certificates and self-attested photocopies of the following (the same list used for the general TANCET counselling round applies):
