in tamilnadu tnea counselling I score 422 marks in 12th board exam whether I get seats ingovernment colleges in tamilnadu?

With 422 marks in 12th board exam, your estimated TNEA cutoff would likely be around 140 to 150 out of 200, depending on your subject-wise scores. This is not high enough for top branches like CSE or ECE in top-tier government colleges like CEG or MIT.

If you belong to a reserved category such as BC, MBC, SC, or ST, you may get chances in government colleges for branches like Civil, Mechanical, or EEE in tier-2 or tier-3 government engineering colleges, especially in districts like Theni, Dharmapuri, Virudhunagar, or Sivaganga.

Chances are better in government-aided or self-financing colleges under government quota. You should definitely participate in TNEA counselling and fill as many options as possible across multiple districts to improve your chances.

Hello Arthi,

Thanks for reaching out!

with a score of 422 in 12th boards,TNEA cutoff will depend on the marks specifically in Maths, Physics and Chemistry.Getting a seat in Top Govt Colleges for branches like CSE of ECE would be difficult as the cutoff for those are usually much higher,and based on the total score you mentioned your cut-off likely doesn't fall within that range.However you may still have chance in branches like Mechanical or Civil in some government college depending on your exact cut-off,category,seat availability and overall competition .though your chances could be slightly better in govt-aided or self-financed college.It's important to take part in all rounds of counselling to explore all possible options.
