TNEA Cutoff Calculator
Engineering cutoff out of 200 from your class 12 PCM marks
Tamil Nadu board sheets often report each subject out of 200.
Enter your Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics marks, each between 0 and 100.
The cutoff decides your rank in the TNEA merit list; the seat you actually get depends on your community, the branch and the college. Verify the branch-wise closing cutoffs on tneaonline.org before filling choices.
About this tool
Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions ranks candidates on a cutoff out of 200 computed purely from class 12 marks: full marks in Mathematics, plus half of Physics and half of Chemistry. There is no entrance test component.
If your marks sheet reports each subject out of 200, switch the scale toggle; the calculator normalises to 100 first, which is what the TNEA formula expects.
Frequently asked questions
›What is the TNEA cutoff formula?
Cutoff = Mathematics + (Physics ÷ 2) + (Chemistry ÷ 2), with each subject taken out of 100. The maximum is 200.
›Is the cutoff rounded?
It is reported to two decimal places. Ties are broken by Mathematics marks, then Physics, then date of birth.
›What cutoff do I need for a government engineering college?
It varies sharply by branch, college and community. Sought-after branches at CEG and MIT Anna University typically close above 195 for the general category, while many government and aided colleges admit well below 180.
