TNEA & 12th Engineering Cutoff Calculator

Calculate Tamil Nadu TNEA engineering cutoff out of 200 (Maths + Physics/2 + Chemistry/2) or out of 600.

TNEA cutoff
186.00
Out of 200
PCM total
277 / 300
92.33%
Cutoff percentage
93.00%

How this is calculated

Cutoff = Maths + Physics/2 + Chemistry/2 = 95.0 + 45.0 + 46.0 = 186.00

Mathematics carries full weight and the two sciences carry half each, giving a maximum of 200. The PCM total is reported out of 300, consistent with marks out of 100 per subject.

TNEA & 12th Engineering Cutoff Calculator: how it works

The TNEA engineering cutoff is out of 200: mathematics counts in full, physics and chemistry at half each.

The formula

Cutoff = Mathematics + (Physics ÷ 2) + (Chemistry ÷ 2)

Each subject marked out of 100
Maximum cutoff: 200

Mathematics is weighted twice as heavily as either science, which is why a strong mathematics mark moves your cutoff more than an equally strong physics mark.

Worked example

Worked example · Maths 95, Physics 90, Chemistry 92

Given

  • Mathematics: 95
  • Physics: 90
  • Chemistry: 92

Working

  1. 1Mathematics contributes 95
  2. 2Physics contributes 90 ÷ 2 = 45
  3. 3Chemistry contributes 92 ÷ 2 = 46
  4. 4Cutoff = 95 + 45 + 46

Cutoff: 186 out of 200

A note on totals

What the cutoff decides

The cutoff determines your rank in the TNEA general merit list, which in turn determines your position in counselling. Admission also depends on your community category, since seats are allocated across categories under the Tamil Nadu reservation policy.

Frequently asked questions

Mathematics marks in full, plus half the physics marks, plus half the chemistry marks, giving a figure out of 200.
