Branch-wise TNEA closing cutoff marks for 382 engineering colleges across 33 districts of Tamil Nadu, community by community (OC, BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA, ST). Pick your college below for its full cutoff table, or use the free finder to search every college at once by your own cutoff.

New to TNEA? Your cutoff is Maths + (Physics ÷ 2) + (Chemistry ÷ 2), out of 200. Anna University ranks all applicants on that score and allots seats strictly in your chosen order — which is why the order of your choice list matters as much as the marks themselves. Read the full TNEA 2026 guide →

Frequently Asked Questions

How many engineering colleges are there in Tamil Nadu?

College Path lists TNEA cutoff data for 382 engineering colleges across 33 districts of Tamil Nadu, covering 2,789 college-and-branch combinations.

What is a good TNEA cutoff?

It depends entirely on the branch, college and your community. Top branches at the leading Chennai and Coimbatore colleges closed near 200 in TNEA 2025, while many colleges admitted students in the 100–150 range. Check the college pages above for the exact figures.

How is the TNEA cutoff calculated?

TNEA cutoff = Maths + (Physics / 2) + (Chemistry / 2), from your Class 12 board marks, giving a score out of 200. Anna University ranks all applicants on this score.

Does a higher cutoff guarantee a seat?

No. Allotment depends on your rank, your community, the number of seats in that branch and the order in which you list your choices. That is why the choice-filling order is as important as the cutoff itself.
