MADURAI, APRIL 23. A team from the Anna University, Chennai, arrived here today to oversee the arrangements and conduct of the Tamil Nadu Professional Courses Entrance Examinations being held on April 24 and 25.

Over 7,000 candidates are appearing for the TNPCEE for admission to engineering and medical colleges in the coming academic year. The examination is conducted at 19 centres in the city and all preparations have been made. The visiting team has 21 representatives from the Anna University, which is conducting the examinations on behalf of the State Government.

M. Alagar, Anna University coordinator for Madurai, who went around the examination centres here along with others, told The Hindu today that the arrangements were satisfactory and made as per the guidelines of the Anna University. He said the question papers and other examination materials had been kept in adequate police custody.

`Everything is in good escort and there need not be any apprehension about that', he said. There are 12 colleges as examination centres in Zone 1 and another seven centres in Zone 2 with the Thiagarajar College of Engineering and Agricultural College and Research Institute ( ACRI) heading the zones respectively.

Mr.Alagar also said the university had issued fresh hall tickets to candidates, who had problems `and in Madurai there were only negligible number and they have been issued'.
