Hello Aspirant,

TNEA stands for Tamil Nadu Engineering Admission process and it is conducted by Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE), Tamil Nadu for admission in engineering institutions of Tamil Nadu. Let me make you clear that there is no entrance exam for TNEA, TNEA is a counselling process through a merit list is prepared on the basis of class 12th marks. Candidates from all over India are allowed to take part in it so you are also eligible for it. As you are from state other than Tamil Nadu so you need to fulfil the eligibility criteria which is minimum aggregate of 50% marks in class 12th with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as mandatory subjects.
