HELLO,

The TNEA cutoff of 182.5 may be available for computer science programs in Tamil Nadu colleges but it depends on specific colleges , category and seat availability and  this cutoff is generally considered good for securing a seat in many engineering colleges especially for non computer science programs .

However getting into CS programs specially in highly top colleges like NITs can be more competitive at this rank

You can get other best engineering colleges less competitive than NITs but may not be enough to secure a seat in a top tier NIT CS program

Your category like General, Sc ,Obc or ST it will also affect the availability of seats and chances for the program and college you are applying to .
