Panimalar admission is through TNEA counseling , the 2025 cutoff for CSE was roughly 37,908. They must have passed 10+2 with 45-50% in the main subjects. The whole board is very strict; after you get the TNEA allotment, the college makes a very big deal of the actual reporting, which means you have to come with all the original certificates. Management quota seats are allotted based on 12th-grade marks, but it is a good option only if you can be the first one to the office of the administration because there are usually only a couple of seats available. Moreover, the college provides a comprehensive orientation program for the newcomers and their parents to familiarize them with the rules and regulations. Certain special quotas are reserved for sportsmen and children of ex-servicemen. Lastly, the fee structure is presented at the time of admission, leaving no room for hidden costs, thereby guaranteeing financial transparency for families throughout the four years of study.

The institution offers engineering and management courses, with best placement facilities. As per my experience it is the best college for engineering. I have completed B.Tech in computer science engineering with the total expenditure of approximately 1.8 Lakhs. Fees structure for other courses is also feasible. Scholarship facilities are also offered by the college on the basis of merit. Admissions procedure is very fair for all courses and is on the basis of entrance exam like TNEA or JEE Mains. Student must secure valid score as per the cut off marks. In addition student must have completed 10+2 with PCM as the compulsory subject.

My TNEA 2025 cutoff marks is 166.5. Am I eligible for admission?
Asked by Karthikeyan K U

replied on 01-Jul-2025 18:37:08

Admission into Panimalar Engineering College with a TNEA 2025 cut off mark of 166.5 will depend on the specific B Tech branch. In the previous year, the cutoff for Mechanical Engg was around 144, so you have a good chance to get a seat. On the other hand, the cutoff marks for CSE and ECE were approximately 172.5 and 168.5, respectively. So it is quite challenging to obtain a seat in these branches.
