TNEA

No, it is not an entrance exam.
It is a procedure for admission in Tamil Nadu engineering colleges only for Tamil Nadu studied students or native of Tamil Nadu students who have done one of the class i.e. Viii, ix, x & xii outside of the state Tamil Nadu.

The authorities concerned will announce the list of participating institutes of TNEA 2018 for candidates who are aspiring to take admission in the undergraduate engineering programmes but VIT university does not come under the participating institute of TNEA so it is not possible.
