Commonly asked questions
Q:   What factors determine TNEA cutoff?
A: 

Below are the factors that will determine the cut off of TNEA:

  1. Exam difficulty
  2. The number of students who appeared in the exam
  3. Available seats in the institutes

The TNEA cut-off admission scores will also be released after each round of counselling on the official website. TNEA cutoffs are different for all the categories depending on various exam factors.

Q:   My TNEA general rank is 105796 but my community rank is 54922. Can I get CSE in Sacs MAVMM engineering college?
A: 
First of all the allotment is based on overall rank. Many are misleading using community rank. The closing rank of all previous year's are all based on overall rank not using Community rank . So the college you get is depending on overall rank. The required overall rank is around 1400. So you can easily get seat in top tier college like CEG,MIT,PSG,SSN etc. Sightly difficult in CSE,ECE in CEG. Try Self Supporting (SS) seats as well. Hope you'll get admitted in CEG or MIT or PSG.
