Shah I don't think they meant it in the way you understood. It is a special contingent for TC students . The school I attend also has a TC contingent of three students for each course. It doesn't mean that only three TC's can enter each course. WHat is meant is that TC students will be evaluated seperately and that the best three will be accepted regardless of the other applicants. I guess any TC applying who could surpass the other applicants in terms of qualifications would still be accepted.
Here's a link about the TC contingent at my uni. as an example:
