TNEA 2025 Normalisation Process and Ranking

As per Tamil Nadu Acts No.3 of 2007, dt: 05.03.2007 and G.O. (Ms) No.77 HE (J2) Dept, dt: 05.04.2007, the marks obtained by the students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination (class 12) conducted by various Boards or Authority shall be equated with the marks obtained by the students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu by adopting the method of normalisation.

For example: 

  • If the highest mark secured by the student of the State Board of Tamil Nadu in Physics is 100 and the highest mark secured by a student of any other Board in the same subject is 90, both the highest marks will be considered to be equal to 100.
  • If a student of the other Board secures 60 marks in Physics when the first mark in Physics in the same Board is 90, 60 marks will be considered to be equal to 66. 66 marks as arrived below:

(60/90) ∗ 100 = 66.66%

  • After normalisation of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards, the qualified students shall be merged into a common meritlist.
  • In the case of candidates who have qualified from National Boards, namely CBSE and ISCE, the highest mark obtained in the relevant subject by the candidates at the National Level alone will be taken into consideration for normalisation.
  • The Other Boards will be requested to furnish the maximum marks scored in the relevant subjects. In case such marks are not available before the preparation of the rank, the maximum marks scored in that Board will be considered as 100%.
  • For minimum eligibility, normalised marks will not be considered.

With a 5,667 community rank, your best bet at TCE is branches like Electrical & Electronics, Information Technology, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. CSE and ECE are out of reach, but these other options fit your rank well.
