Thiagarajar college accepts applications for management seats and conducts a separate counseling type of process based on the candidates' scores and seat availability. This procedure starts within one or two days of the 12th results and completes within the next 15–20 days.
Thiagarajar College has a policy of not filling management positions with money. Even so, few students are admitted to the college due to their high level of influence or recommendations from Ministers, MLAs, MPs, and a few others.
