Hi aspirant...!

Hope you're doing great....!

So, with regard of you're query. YES you can apply for the TNEA exam this year. But you cannot apply directly for the counselling for the marks scored in the previous TNEA exam. You need to give this years' exam again and then apply for the counselling accordingly. Generally the eligibility criteria for TNEA is that,

1. candidates should have passed their 8,9,10,11, and 12 in the state of Tamil Nadu

2. The minimum eligibility is below the age of 25 years, etc.,.

As you qualify 2 of these categories then you are eligible for the Exam.

Good Luck !!
