Admissions are done the basis of rank in JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced).

Admission of the students into various programs of the institution is based on
Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) conducted by DoTE

The candidates should satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for admission to IIT:

(1) Must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The aggregate marks for SC, ST, and PwD candidates should be at least 65%. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are required as compulsory subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.

(2) Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.

The percentile calculation will be done for the required subjects in a single academic year only.
