Hi,

TNEA Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions is conducted for admission in UG engineering courses (B.E./ B. Tech.) offered  in various colleges of Tamil Nadu State.

For Eligibility criteria:

Must have any of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for vocational studies.

The minimum aggregate marks in mandatory subject is 45%.

Minimum age is 25 years.

As you have mentioned you have cleared the cutoff by 162.5 marks, I suggest you to wait for rank declaration as from marks it is difficult to predict the chances in your dream college.

However, I suggest you to use KNEA college predictor by Careers360 at:

It will help you greatly during results time.

Thank you!
