Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University

Your chances of getting into MIT Chennai with a 180 score in state board exams are quite low. The admissions in B.Tech at this institute are done based on merit, which is prepared according to the 12th score of candidates and cutoff, which is prepared according to the TNEA exam. The general merit to take admission typically falls in the range of 197-200 every year. Due to limited seats and high demand, the cutoff and merit are always on the higher side. However, the cutoff varies every year, and a guaranteed answer cannot be given; only predictions can be made. You are advised to appear for the TNEA exam and get a good score in that so that you can get admission easily.
