Hi Bala Krishnan,

Hi,
The admission into any college in Tamil Nadu is based on the caste wise cut off marks. For that, you are advised to apply for counselling under Anna University. The admission in Anna University and its affiliated colleges is based on your caste also. Your cut off is not bad but I think you cannot get the top colleges.

Your PCM percentage is the eligibility criteria for some colleges, it should be greater than 60%, for some it is 55%.

Hi,
The link below gives you the list of colleges in Tamil Nadu that offer B.Sc courses:

The question itself is contradictory. Can a 4 star hotel be as good as a 5 star hotel like Taj or Marriott? The answer is obviously no. Better the ranking of an institute better is the salary and job placement prospects. A tier 3 institute manages to get rank up to 70 and beyond that such institute lacks placement and may be quality also so comparison cannot happen between two.

You can get admission depending upon following factors:
1. If the NIT is among top 3 your chances of getting decent branches are negligible.
2. Using home state plus OBC can get you a decent branch in other NITs.
