The Engineering cut-off marks will be calculated as,
| Subjects | Total Marks | Cut-off Calculation | Cut-Off Marks |
| Mathematics | 200 | 200/2 | 100 |
| Physics | 200 | 200/4 | 50 |

For example, if a student secured 197 in Mathematics, 173 in Physics and 176 in Chemistry, then the Engineering Cut-off marks of that student will be as follows
| Subjects | Total Marks | Cut-off Calculation | Cut-Off Marks |
| Mathematics | 200 | 197/2 | 98.50 |
| Physics | 200 | 173/4 | 43.25 |
| Chemistry | 200 | 176/4 | 44 |
| Engineering Cut-Off of this candidate | 187.75 / 200 | ||
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.

In the below table, All the eight students have got same cut-off marks of 197.75. All the eight students secured same marks in mathematics i.e., 200/200. Of these, only 4 students secured same marks in physics, then considering their Chemistry again the same 4 students secured the same marks in chemistry too. Finally, when considering their Biology or Computer Science, their 4th Optional subject, there is a difference in that subject, then Ramesh secured the highest mark on this 4th optional subject considered in the first ranking on that category.

Even if the 4th subject mark might be the same, then the students Date of Birth (DOB) will be considered for giving preference to the one whoever born earlier. Even there is more than one member on the same DOB, then the higher Random number assigned by the Anna University will be considered first in that category.
If you are a Native of Tamil Nadu, you can apply for TNEA with a Nativity certificate. If you are belonging to other states, you can apply by TNEA other state quota. Refer
Since you are Native of Tamil Nadu you can apply engineering by producing your Nativity Certificate. The Nativity certificate format will be available in the TNEA application itself. Your CBSC Marks will be normalized for TamilNadu Engineering Rank, admission will be given based on that rank.
Every year the cut-off varies. We can not go by previous year cut-off marks, you need to go through the last 6-10 years cut-off marks for that. We cant decide what will be option of thousands of candidates before us. Some may prefer medicine (or) other engineering branches (or) other states good engineering institution (or) some other courses of their choices and so on. We always suggest the college is more important than the course.
Yes. CBSE cut-off marks will be calculated as, Maths will be converted for 100 marks, physics will be converted for 100 marks and chemistry also will be converted into 50 marks. The total cut-off marks for 200 will be calculated as. (Maths) + (Physics/2) + (Chemistry/2) = 100+50+50 = 200/200. Detailed information on TNEA CBSE cut-off marks
Tamil Nadu Engineering cutoff mark is calculated from the 12th Marks. Take your Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics marks. Divide the physics and chemistry marks by 4 and Divide the Maths mark by 2, Add the 3 results you will get the Engineering Cutoff marks out of 200. The formula is simple Cutoff Mark= (Physics/4) + (Chemistry/4) + (Maths/2).
