In a bid to help students select colleges and courses with regard to their cut-off during the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) online counselling, Anna University has released an explainer video.
The video asks students to log on to www.tnea.ac.in and go to the cut-off link there, following which they can find out the cut-off marks for the last three years for various colleges. The video initially explains how students of state board schools or other boards can calculate their cut-offs.
The students have been given the option of either looking for colleges by district or can also search branch wise — where they can pick the branch they wish to study and look at the colleges that offer the course and then check their eligibility for admissions based on their cut-off.
