Greetings sir, I've did my schooling in CBSE and I've scored 92.4 percentage in my Board exam, my cutoff is around 186 and i also have an army quota, I wish to pursue CSE in any reputed colleges in Tamilnadu

Ans: With a TNEA cutoff of 186 and Army Quota (Sons/Daughters of Ex-Servicemen), you can target CSE in these reputed Tamil Nadu colleges:

SSN College of Engineering (Chennai): CSE cutoff for General hovers around 190–200 marks, but Army Quota (8 seats in university departments) significantly lowers rank requirements.

PSG College of Technology (Coimbatore): CSE requires ~180–190 marks; Army Quota (34 seats in govt/aided colleges) enhances admission chances.

Thiagarajar College of Engineering (Madurai): CSE cutoff ~170–180 marks; quota seats in govt colleges improve accessibility.

Coimbatore Institute of Technology (CIT): CSE cutoff ~170–180 marks; Army Quota applies to affiliated institutes.

Kumaraguru College of Technology (Coimbatore): CSE cutoff ~160–170 marks; quota seats in self-financing colleges (108 seats) offer opportunities.

Saveetha Engineering College (Chennai): CSE cutoff ~175–180 marks; Army Quota applicable across categories.

Anna University (MIT Campus): CSE cutoff ~180–190 marks; university departments reserve 8 seats for ex-servicemen.

Government College of Technology (Coimbatore): CSE cutoff ~160–170 marks; govt colleges prioritize quota candidates.

Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (Kancheepuram): CSE cutoff ~150–160 marks; quota seats in aided colleges.

Rajalakshmi Engineering College (Chennai): CSE cutoff ~140–150 marks; Army Quota applicable in self-financing institutes.

Recommendation: Prioritize SSN, PSG Tech, and CIT during TNEA counseling, leveraging Army Quota provisions (submit valid Ex-Servicemen certificates). Include mid-tier colleges like Kumaraguru and Saveetha as backups, ensuring optimal branch allocation.
All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
