In this article below, we have provided a list of TNEA colleges available for average TNEA cutoff marks between 140 to 160. Candidates who wish to take admission in the BTech course after 10+2 in Tamil Nadu state must apply for TNEA counselling. The admission will be based on class 12 scaled scores via centralised online counselling - TNEA. Check all details below.
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.
