TNEA Colleges for Cutoff Marks Between 140 to 160

TNEA Colleges for Cutoff Marks Between 140 to 160: Expecting a TNEA scaled score between 140 to 160, and wondering which college you can expect admission to? Then this article will help you with TNEA colleges available for TNEA marks between 140 to 160. UG engineering admission in the state of Tamil Nadu is completely based on TNEA ranks and marks. TNEA marks are calculated based on the scores from the candidate's class 12 exams, which the candidates submit during the TNEA registration. However, to make the scores uniform across the various class 12 state boards in the TNEA counselling process, the scores of all the registered candidates in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are scaled down to a total of 200 points. This scaling down of scores is done by comparing the marks of class 12 candidates of the TN board. This helps with ranking the candidates on the same scale regardless of their school board.

Q:   I have 75 % in CBSE class 12th and my cutoff is 136. Can I get B.Tech IT in TNEA colleges?
A:
The Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions TNEA process is used to place candidates at various engineering colleges throughout the state of Tamil Nadu. TNEA rank lists are used to offer admissions to candidates in undergraduate programs like Bachelors of Engineering (BE) and Bachelors of Technology (B.Tech) in colleges in Tamil Nadu. The TNEA written exam has been scrapped as the counselling is based on Class 12 marks, and therefore seats are allotted in the colleges through the TNEA rank list. You need to register on the official website, after which category-wise rank lists will be announced. You can get admission for B.Tech (IT) in TNEA if your aggregate score is decent enough (130 or more) and you make it to the rank list released by the Directorate of Technical Education.
Q:   What is the TNEA cutoff for BTech at SNS College of Technology?
A:

SNS College of Technology offers seats to candidates based on Class 12 score and TNEA rank. Students get a TNEA rank based on their merit. Below is TNEA rank for BE/ BTech specialisations of last three years:

  1. Exam difficulty
  2. The number of students who appeared in the exam
  3. Available seats in the institutes
  4. Last years cutoff trends The authority releases TNEA community-wise cutoffs for all the candidates.

TNEA cut-off score is the minimum mark that candidates have to secure to be eligible for admission to B.Tech courses. Eligible candidates for TNEA are called seat allotment on the basis of TNEA cut-off marks and availability of seats in the TNEA participating colleges. 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.
