Hello Himanshu,Yes, you are right. Tamil Nadu allows admissions to it's colleges running Engineering courses to only domicile of the state. I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information. https://www.shiksha.com/university/anna-university/tnea-exam
However, all is not lost. Just apply on it's web portal and wait. There is something called all India quota that normally nobody talks about. Also colleges where seats are not filled invariably put pressure on government and finally some students do get admitted even if they do not belong to Tamil Nadu. It's only a gamble, but then it costs nothing. Do why not try it? Best wishes to you.
