Hello

With this cutoff and BCM community rank , your son has decent chances of getting CSE in several Tier 2 and Tier 3 self-financing engineering colleges :

1. Karpagam College of Engineering , Coimbatore

2. Kongu Engineering College , Erode (possible in lower-demand branches or through management quota)

3. Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology , Coimbatore (may get IT or ECE , if CSE is not available)

4. Velammal Institute of Technology , Chennai

5. SNS College of Technology , Coimbatore

6. Panimalar Engineering College , Chennai (possible in second round)

7. Muthayammal Engineering College , Rasipuram

8. Kumaraguru College of Technology , Coimbatore (less likely for CSE but other branches may be possible)

Apply through TNEA counselling and prioritise colleges where CSE cutoff is around 179–180 for BCM.

Consider IT or ECE as alternative branches , if CSE is unavailable in top choices.
