With a general rank of 532 and BC community rank of 296 in TNEA 2025, your nephew has an excellent chance of securing a seat in top engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. Based on previous year trends, candidates with ranks within the top 1,000—especially from the BC category—have comfortably secured seats in prestigious institutions like CEG (College of Engineering, Guindy) and MIT (Madras Institute of Technology) for core branches such as CSE, ECE, and Mechanical.

PSG Tech is highly competitive, especially for CSE and ECE, but with a BC rank of 296, there’s still a fair chance in core branches like EEE or Mechanical depending on the round. SSN also fills quickly, but considering the rank, there is a realistic possibility of getting a seat in preferred branches during the first or second round of counselling.
