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: If your TNEA scaled marks are between 140 to 160, then which colleges can you get? In this article, we have listed the TNEA colleges available for TNEA marks between 140 to 160. In Tamil Nadu, getting into undergraduate engineering colleges depends on the TNEA marks and ranks. TNEA marks are calculated based on the scores from your class 12 exams, with which the candidates register for TNEA counselling. To make it fair, the scores of all the registered candidates in subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are adjusted down to a total of 200 points. This is done by comparing the scores with those of students from the Tamil Nadu State Board, so that everyone is judged on an equal level, regardless of which educational board they followed.
Explore colleges based on TNEA
Approximately 440 institutions participate in the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling process. The state of Tamil Nadu holds the distinction of having the highest number of BTech seats, as reported by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Given the intense competition, candidates must excel in their Class 12 board examinations to secure admission into reputable colleges. Each participating institution in the TNEA takes into account the TNEA rank list, which is derived from the TNEA scaled scores, to allocate BTech seats effectively. For the TNEA cutoff marks ranging from 140 to 160, a variety of options are available, including Central Government colleges, private self-financing institutions, and university-affiliated colleges. Candidates can refer to the list of TNEA colleges with cutoff marks within 140 to 160 marks for further details.
TNEA Colleges for Cutoff Marks Between 140 to 160
Below, we have provided the average TNEA cutoff marks based on previous year cutoff trends of the colleges participating in the TNEA counselling process.

TNEA 2025 Counselling Process
The TNEA admission process involves several key steps. Check details below:
Register on the Official Website: To begin, students need to sign up on the official TNEA website (tneaonline.org). During registration, it's important to fill in all necessary details and pay the application fee.
Complete the Application and Upload Documents: After registering, students must fill out an online application form. This form asks for personal details, information about any scholarships or reservations they may have, the school they attended, and their academic achievements. They will also need to upload scanned copies of important documents that will be checked later. Students can choose where they want their documents to be verified, and clear instructions will be provided to guide them through this process.
Assigning Random Numbers: Each applicant will receive a unique TNEA random number. This is important for breaking any ties when ranking candidates. If two students have the same score, the one with the higher random number will be placed higher on the list.
Online Document Verification: The documents that students uploaded will be verified online at specific centers. However, students who are athletes must verify their documents in person in Chennai. Once everything is checked and confirmed, the TNEA merit list will be published, showing only those students whose documents are verified.
Publication of Rank List and Addressing Concerns: After the TNEA rank list is out, candidates will have a week to raise any issues or concerns about their rankings. They can do this in person at the TNEA office or at nearby verification centers.
Online Counselling Process: Following document verification, students can take part in an online counselling process that will happen across several rounds according to a schedule. This includes choosing their preferences, selecting available seats, confirming their choices, and then reporting to the college that they have been allocated.

However, according to a source, there are some engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu that accept TNEA cutoff below 130, such as University College of Engineering Villupuram, Kakuppam, Villupuram, and others. Similarly, another source provides a list of the best mechanical engineering colleges for BC group with a cutoff of 130 in TNEA , including the college name, code, district, and type. It is important to note that the cutoff information may vary depending on the specific guidelines of the conducting authority and the admission process. Therefore, candidates are advised to check the official website of TNEA or contact the admission cell of the colleges for the latest updates and notifications related to the admission process, courses offered, cutoff information, and other relevant details. Additionally, candidates can check the previous year's cutoff information for various colleges and courses on the official website of TNEA.
