Hello!
For lateral entry admission into Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE), Madurai, you must have completed a Diploma in Engineering or Technology. Generally, candidates are expected to have at least a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in their diploma to be eligible. However, to secure admission into top branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechatronics, having a higher percentage (around 85%-90%) improves your chances due to high competition.

Admissions are done through lateral entry counseling conducted by DOTE (Directorate of Technical Education), Tamil Nadu. Cut-offs vary each year depending on seat availability and the number of applicants.
