- 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.
