Yes, with 60% marks in Class 12 from a recognized board, you can get admission to many colleges in Tamil Nadu, depending on your course. Here’s how it typically works across different streams:


Engineering (B.E./B.Tech) via TNEA


For general category, the minimum eligibility for engineering through TNEA is 45% in PCM, so with 60% you're definitely eligible.


However, top-tier colleges like Anna University, PSG, and SSN expect much higher scores (usually above 190 out of 200 in TNEA rank), which puts them out of reach with 60%.


But plenty of good private or lesser-known colleges offer admission for students with 60%—you can still pursue branches like ECE, Civil, or Mechanical comfortably in those institutes.


Other Programs (Law, MBA, etc.)


For integrated law courses like BA LLB or BBA LLB, universities like Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University require at least 70% for general category, though it's 60% for reserved categories.


For MBA programs through exams like TANCET, top colleges require 60%+, and others may accept 50–55% depending on reservations.
