Hello there,

With 198 marks in TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) , you have a very competitive score , especially for the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) branch.

Here’s the realistic chance in Round 2 (or even earlier):

High Chances:

1. MIT (Madras Institute of Technology) – CSE: Possible in Round 1 or 2 , depending on your community quota .
   
   

2. CEG (College of Engineering, Guindy) – CSE: Slightly tougher, but possible in Round 2 for BC/MBC/SC/ST categories .
   
   

3. SSN College of Engineering – CSE: Likely, especially in management quota or later rounds . SSN also conducts separate counselling for merit-based management seats.
   
   Depends on:

• Your community/reservation category

• Your region quota (TN State board vs CBSE, etc.)

• Number of seats filled in Round 1

If you belong to a reserved category (BC, MBC, SC, ST) — your chances increase significantly for all three colleges.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
