What is the TNEA Exam?

Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) is conducted by the Anna University for admissions to undergraduate level courses available at various engineering colleges of the state. The candidates for admission to engineering colleges will be selected based on their performance in their class 12 board or equivalent exam from a recognized board. Written test for admission into the course has been scrapped by TNEA authorities.

The candidates who have satisfied TNEA 2020 eligibility criteria will be required to complete their admission online by logging to the official website with the process of counselling and submission of their documents. TNEA is the key through which a lot of engineering students get enrolled in the engineering colleges of Tamil Nadu. Their admission happens through single-window counselling. The authorities believe that this process provides transparency to a great extent.
