TCE Madurai Admission 2025 FAQs

Ques. If a student gains admission into TCE Madurai, can he/she switch into a different course later?

Ans. Switching courses after admission is very difficult. Since TCE follows Anna University regulations, a change of course is permitted only in subsequent rounds of TNEA counselling, if seats are available and the TNEA rank of the candidate is eligible.

Ques. What can be suggested to students entering their first year at TCE Madurai?

Ans. If you are starting your first year at Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE), build a strong academic base. Simultaneously, engage with clubs, workshops, and student bodies like IEEE or NSS to develop your skills and network. Utilize the resources available around campus, such as the central library, laboratories, and technical institutes. Be organized in your schedule, communicate with professors, and form study groups. If you find yourself in the hostel, get used to the environment as fast as possible, manage your time well, and stay healthy. Finally, explore career options early on by sharpening your coding skills, applying for internships, and creating your LinkedIn or GitHub profile, ie, prepare yourself for placement.

Ques. Can non-Tamil Nadu students get admission in TCE?

Ans. There are some seats allotted for students under the Other State Quota (OSQ) for non-TN students. Since admission is through TNEA, the marks are normalized differently. Keep checking any related Anna University OSQ notifications, and meanwhile, prepare residence proof and nativity certificates.

Ques. What is the best course of study at Thiagarajar College of Engineering?

Ans. The best course at Thiagarajar College of Engineering depends on one's interest and career aim. Among the most sought-after branches are Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering- they all have very good faculty and infrastructure. Each course has strong academic support and placement records, and thus offers good industry exposure, placing TCE as a full-fledged choice for engineering students.

Admission:

When it comes to the admission process the base eligibility is like you need to pass the HSC exams with 60% in maths, physics and chemistry. then the admission process is through counselling. so to get through this college you need to score above 185 cutoff and for the software courses you need to have above 193 cutoff. For other reservation Categories, the cutoff will decrease. The main hectic of the admission process is they only accept DD for payment of fees so this is an inconvenience for everyone that they need to improve

The admission through anna university counselling took place online. Whereas the management quota admission took place offline in our college's auditorium. You can approach the college by contacting them by phone. The part of the admission process that i hated was doing so much paperwork and getting the affidavit stamp from a lawyer and so on. It would have been better if they had made the process much simpler. just search for the admission tab. Verification could have been done online .

Since I scored 98 % in the 12th public exam, I was eligible for OBC govt quota reserved seats. So we need to pay 5000 as a reservation fee during counseling conducted by the Tamilnadu government. If we avail of the reserved seats, the educational course fee will be reduced based on our reserved quota (for me, OBC).
