Hello,
Admission to Engineering in Tamil Nadu is based on merit in class 12th and the admission is done through TNEA counselling. The eligibility criteria for TNEA is that a candidate must have passed 10+2 or its equivalent with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry from a recognized board. Candidates belonging to general category must score minimum 45% aggregate marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together and for candidates belonging to reserved category must have scored minimum 40% aggregate marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together. You haven't mentioned the percentage of marks scored in PCM. If you have scored minimum 40% aggregate marks in PCM then you are eligible to get admission.
