(1)What is
TNEA?
The
Directorate of Technical Education, Tamil Nadu's Tamil Nadu Engineering
Admissions (TNEA) program is designed to provide students with opportunities to
apply to engineering schools in the state of Tamil Nadu. The single-window TNEA
counselling 2022 process is used to offer admission to engineering colleges in
Tamil Nadu because authorities believe that it increases transparency.
Candidates should be aware that the TNEA written exam has been discontinued due
to the fact that counseling is based on marks from Class 12 and that college
seats are allocated based on the TNEA rank list.
