TNEA

Hello Vishnu,
These days almost all states have put in restrictions on admission to engineering colleges in their respective states. Only domiciles can take admission. Of course some seats are reserved for NRI & some for FN's. Some states have certain seats reserved for all india quota meaning for students from other states. In Tamil Nadu its the Anna University which is designated agency. You will find all required information on their webpage.
Best wishes.

Yes, you are eligible for the TNEA exam. You also have good marks, best of luck for your future.

Yes, after completing your engineering Diploma, you gets direct entry to 2nd year of engineering. Some colleges take admission through lateral entry exams like Joint Entrance Examination of Lateral Entry (JELET), Diploma to Degree Entrance Competitive exam, etc. So, you need to appear and crack these exams. Some colleges conducted their own entrance exam for getting entry. Admission procedure varies from college to college. So, you will have to contact colleges individually.

Hello Jinju,
I am afraid you are not eligible. Tamil Nadu allows only domiciles of the state to take part in the admission process of engineering colleges. But there are very good engineering colleges in Kerala also. You can seek admission in them. If I may ask why you want to take admission in a college in Tamil Nadu?

No, not at all. But Tamil Nadu Board students will be getting a reservation since the TNEA is a state level exam for admission in college. So, the priority is the Tamil students since they are the domicile of that state only. Hence, they will come under the state quota and other will be having less quota.

Hello Mohamed,
There is no information till now regarding the admission process at Anna University as the exams have not been completed. You can refer www.annauniv.edu and www.tnea.ac.in for further updates and information.
