How "seats filled" works in sections 2 & 3
TNEA publishes vacant seats after general counselling, not a filled count. Fewer vacant = more filled = stronger demand. "Avg Vac" averages 3 years; lower = stronger demand.

What is COA?
COA ✓ means the college is approved by the Council of Architecture — the statutory body (under the Architects Act, 1972) that regulates architecture education in India. A B.Arch is only valid if the college is COA-approved, and only a COA-recognised degree lets you register as a practising architect.

6 · Indicative Fee Reference (all colleges)

Approximate B.Arch tuition per year, gathered for quick comparison. These are indicative estimates, not official quotes.

Treat every figure here as a rough guide only
Self-financing TNEA fees vary by college, category (OC/BC/MBC/SC/etc.) and year, and deemed-university fees change annually and often exclude hostel/other charges. Always confirm the current fee on the college's official site before deciding. Government/aided colleges (e.g. Anna University SAP, Thiagarajar) are the lowest cost; deemed universities are the highest.
