What is TNEA Random Number?

As the term suggests, a TNEA random number is a number which is randomly generated by the computer system against each registered candidate. Each random number assigned to the candidates is unique in nature. The purpose of the TNEA random number is to break the tie among the candidates when all other tie-breaking conditions fail. When all tie-breaking candidates cannot break the tie, the candidate with a higher value of the TNEA random number gets a higher rank.

TNEA 2026 Random Number for Tie-Breaking

The following conditions are applied to break ties in TNEA counselling:

  • In case a tie exists between two or more candidates, the percentage of marks in subject of Mathematics will be considered to break the tie.
  • If the above fails, then the percentage of marks in subject of Physics will be used.
  • If the above two conditions do not neutralise the tie, then the percentage of marks in the optional subject will be used.
  • If none of the conditions above break the tie, then the percentage of total marks in class 12th examination will be considered.
  • If the tie still exists, then the date of birth of the candidates will be considered. That is the elder candidate will be given preference.
  • Lastly, if the tie is not broken by any of the above conditions, then the TNEA random number assigned will be used. The candidate with the higher value of the random number will be given preference.
