mark secured by a student of any other Board in the same subject is 90 both the highest marks will be considered to
be equal to 100. If a student of the other Board secures 60 marks in Physics when the first mark in Physics in the
same Board is 90, 60 marks will be considered to be equal to 66.66 marks as arrived below.
100 x 60 = 66.66 %

90
After normalisation of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards, the

counselling. The applicant has to login into the TNEA portal by using his/her user ID and Password (same as
that used at the time of registration) for performing various activities in a particular round. The procedure
for each round of counselling is as follows:
1) Publication of eligible applicants: The list of eligible applicants for a particular round will be
published in the TNEA portal.
2) Payment: Applicants should pay an initial deposit of Rs. 5000/- for general category and Rs. 1000/- for
SC / SCA / ST candidates belonging to Tamil Nadu, through online mode of payment (Net Banking /
Credit Card / Debit Card / Demand Draft ) by using the TNEA portal, according to the payment schedule
of the round.
 Applicant can participate in the counselling only after the successful payment of the initial
deposit. Hence applicant are advised to make the payment well in advance of the scheduled
time.
3) Adding Choices: After successful completion of payment, those applicants in the current round can
add choices to their list (in order of preference) to be considered for allotment by using the TNEA
portal.

11
 ▪ Two days are provided to enter choices from the commencement of round (24 hours for first two
days and up to 5.00 P.M. on the second day).
▪ A choice refers to a branch in a college.
▪ The order of preference is the applicant’s priority of choices for allotment of seats ordered from the
most preferred to the least preferred. For example, Choice number 1 will be considered the most
preferred choice for allotment. If Choice number 1 could not be allotted based on the rank, Choice
2, 3, 4 and so on (strictly in that order) will be considered for allotment.
▪ The TNEA portal has provisions to add choices in multiple ways to the list in the order of
preference (for more information visit TNEA portal). Applicants are advised to save the choices
made at regular intervals.
▪ A format sheet for Choice Preparation is available in the TNEA portal and can be downloaded by
the applicants from the TNEA portal. Using this Sheet, they can prepare the choice list from their
respective homes. They are advised to be ready with the filled-in Choice Preparation Sheet before
logging into TNEA portal for choice entry.
▪ The applicant should prepare the Choice Preparation Sheet by referring to multiple sources like:
 Information about colleges.
 Checking the vacancy position from TNEA portals.

(For more information, visit TNEA portal.)

 After locking the choices, a PDF document containing the list of choices locked by the

integrity code is to prevent any further modification to the applicant’s choice list that has been
submitted.

 If applicants fail to lock their choices within the stipulated time, the system itself will lock the
choices.

◦ The applicant’s list, as available at the time of locking, will be considered for allotment on

◦ If no choices were added by the applicant at the time of locking, the applicant shall opt to
participate in the next round of counselling, if further round(s) of counselling has/have
been scheduled. Otherwise he/she has to quit counselling.
5) Tentative Allotment: After the locking of choices by the applicants, the system will, tentatively, allot

following day after locking the choices by the applicants through their login.
6) Submission of Allotment Options: After the tentative allotment, the applicant shall either confirm or
decline or reject the allotment. The allotment option is given to get the applicant’s decision on the
tentative allotment. The different allotment options that can be exercised by the applicant are:

 If the choice of an applicant is allotted tentatively, the applicant can exercise the following options:
a) Confirm the tentatively allotted choice

12
 b) Confirm the tentatively allotted choice with upward movement
◦ Upward Movement: If a higher order preferred choice is available during the final

without any further confirmation.
◦ The above option is not applicable if the tentatively allotted choice happens to be the first
preferred choice of the applicant.
c) Decline the tentatively allotted choice and opt for upward movement

◦ If a choice is allotted in case of upward movement without any further confirmation, that
choice will be allotted to the applicant. Otherwise, the applicant becomes automatically
eligible for the next round of counselling, if there are further rounds of counselling.
◦ The above option is not applicable if the tentatively allotted choice happens to be the first
preferred choice of the applicant.

d) Decline the tentatively allotted choice and opt to participate in the next round of counselling
as per the next round’s vacancy position
◦ The above option is not applicable if no further rounds of counselling are available.
e) Quit Counselling

 If none of the applicant’s choice could be tentatively allotted on the basis of rank, the applicant can
exercise the following options:

a) Opt for upward movement

◦ if a choice is allotted in upward movement, it will be allotted to the applicant without any
further confirmation. Otherwise, the applicant becomes automatically eligible for the next
round of counselling, if there are further rounds of counselling.

b) Opt to participate in the next round of counselling as per the next round’s vacancy position

◦ The above option is not applicable if there are no further rounds of counselling.
c) Quit Counselling

tentatively allotted seat if any seat has been allotted tentatively. Such applicants’ tentatively
allotted choices will be subsequently allotted to those applicants who appear for that particular
round on the basis of rank. The applicants who fail to submit their allotment option are eligible to
participate in the next round of counselling. But if there are no further rounds of counselling, the
applicant has to quit the counselling.
7) Final Allotment: After submission of allotment options, the final allotment will be done by the system
