TNEA Colleges for Cutoff Marks Between 160 to 200

TNEA Colleges for Cutoff Marks Between 160 to 200: Admission in Tamil Nadu UG engineering colleges is based on TNEA marks and ranks. TNEA marks are prepared based on the class 12 marks of the candidates who register for the TNEA counselling. The class 12 marks submitted by the candidates during TNEA registration are scaled down to 200 (Mathematics: 100, Physics: 50, Chemistry: 50) using the normalisation process. The marks obtained by students in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards or authorities will be equated with the marks obtained by students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu using a normalisation method.

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?
