TNEA

Hello Jayakrishnan,
From last year onwards Tamil Nadu government has disbanded any entrance exam for admissions to different engineering courses. Now, the admissions are based on the marks obtained in class 12th examination. In the initial years, there was a big restriction for outside state students from appearing for seeking admission in engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, but with the seats not getting filled up the government has relented and now outside state students can also seek admission in engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu under quota called as quota for outside state students. TNEA ordered Tamil Nadu engineering admission entrance test is therefore not conducted but the website is maintained with the same initials. Students seeking admission has to register online submitting different forms and paying of fees. At the moment this site is not up and running but is expected in the first week of June. Just have patience tell them. Best wishes to you.

Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission TNEA is a counselling process conducted by Anna University. This is not an engineering entrance test. This is important here that engineering admission in Tamil Nadu's Colleges are based on 12th merit, Hence there is no any entrance exam for BE/B.Tech admission for colleges attached to Tamil Nadu government. Anna University will start the registration process for admissions through TNEA for other state students in the month of May-2019. Candidates who meet the specified eligibility criteria must fill the application form, pay the fee, and upload their photograph, signature and other documents. TNEA for other state students 2019 will have allotment against the region wise seats offered by Anna University in its constituent colleges only. A merit list of TNEA for other state students will be published and allotment will be made on the basis of these ranks.

Among ECE and CSE, deciding which one is better depends on the person's interest. Both are equally good. If you love coding and stuff, then it'll be better to choose CSE, and if you love more of circuits and robotics, then choose ECE. Between ECE and CSE, there are higher chances of CSE getting higher pay packages. But don't get disheartened. As for campus placements, mainly IT companies visit and they pool both from ECE and CSE background depending only on your abilities. Again, both the streams will give you a lot of scope for higher studies!
In ECE, you have an additional advantage- ESE (Engineering Service Examination) covers only 4 streams and ECE is among them. You can join some core companies for ECE, which will fetch you a high salary.
