• Percentage of marks in Physics
• Percentage of marks in the 4th optional subject
• Date of Birth
• Random number assigned (higher value will be given preference).

Therefore, in addition to the Maths, Physics, Chemistry, your fourth subject marks of Biology or Computer Sciences will be considered on bunching. In every 0.25 cut-off marks, there might be chances that so many students will get same cut-off marks. In that case, the inter-se merit among such candidates shall be determined in the order of priority.

Merit list of CBSE board for TN Engineering Admission

Cut-off marks for CBSE Board students:

For CBSE students, the marks obtained by the students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by various Boards or Authority shall be equated with the marks obtained by the students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu by adopting the method of normalization.

Normalization Process:

If the highest mark secured by the student of State Board of Tamil Nadu in Physics is 100 and the highest marks secured by a student of any other Board in the same subject are 95 both the highest marks will be considered to be equal to 100. If a student of the other Board secures 70 marks in Physics when the first mark in Physics in the same Board is 95, 70 marks will be considered to be equal to 73.68 100 x 60 / 95 = 73.68%

After normalization of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards, the qualified students shall be merged into a common merit list.

Cut-Off Marks Calculation:

Many of you will be interested to know how the cut-off marks calculated. This is a ranking based on Marks obtained in +2.

a) Total 100 Marks out of 200
M = Mathematics Mark / 2
B = Biology Mark / 2 b) Total 50 Marks out of 200
P = Physics Mark / 4
C = Chemistry Mark /4
2 (Total 200 Marks out of 600)

Example:

Maths = 181 ,Physics = 189 ,Chemistry = 193
Maths =181/2 = 90.5
Physics = 189/4 = 47.5
Chemistry = 193/4 = 48.2
Engineering Cut off = Maths+ Physics+ Chemistry = 90.5+47.5+48.2 = 186.2

The cut-off marks will be generally in the order of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 will be considered for ranking. The candidates should not round of this mark. For example, it will be in the order of 200, 199.75, 199.5, 199.25,.. and so on. Every 0.25 marks will be the crucial one while considered for ranking.
