Hello future engineers!
Today, AUBSP brings you an authoritative and detailed guide on the TNEA 2025 Rank List, released by the Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE), Tamil Nadu. Whether you are aiming for the top government colleges or renowned self-financing institutions, understanding the rank list and the counselling process is essential for securing your B.E. or B.Tech seat.

What is TNEA?

Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) is the centralized counselling process through which lakhs of students gain admission to engineering programs without any entrance test. Instead, it relies entirely on your Class 12 marks (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry), normalized across different boards.

How is the TNEA 2025 Rank List Prepared?

Unlike entrance exam-based admissions, TNEA evaluates students purely based on Class 12 scores:

1. Subject Consideration

Marks in:

• Mathematics
• Physics
• Chemistry

2. Scaling to 200 Marks

• Mathematics: 100 marks
• Physics: 50 marks
• Chemistry: 50 marks

3. Normalization Process

To ensure fairness across boards, marks are normalized. For example:

If the State Board topper gets 100 in Physics and a CBSE student gets 90, both are scaled to 100.

Formula for scaling:

Normalized Mark = (100 x Actual Mark) / Board Top Mark

4. Common Merit List

After normalization, all candidates are merged into a single merit list.

5. Tie-Breaking Criteria

In case of identical scores:

1. Higher Mathematics Marks
2. Higher Physics Marks
3. Older Age (Date of Birth)
4. Higher TNEA Random Number
