Agni College of Technology Admissions Details

Agni College of Technology Application/Admission Process

Agni College of Technology (ACT) in Chennai manages admissions primarily through Tamil Nadu state counseling processes like TNEA for UG and TANCET/GATE for PG, with applications starting as early as January 2026. The process emphasizes merit-based selection from Class 12 marks for B.E./B.Tech programs offered in fields like CSE, AI&DS, ECE, and Mechanical Engineering.

Admission Process

  • Admissions for UG programs (B.E./B.Tech) occur via TNEA counseling, where candidates register online, submit Class 12 marks for merit ranking, and participate in choice filling and seat allotment rounds—no entrance exam is required.
  • For PG (M.E.), selection relies on TANCET or GATE scores followed by CEAP counseling, while management quota seats allow direct applications at the college office after meeting eligibility.
  • Candidates can apply online via act.edu.in, download forms, or obtain them from the campus in Thalambur or admin offices in Alwarpet/Mylapore, submitting with documents before deadlines.

Eligibility Criteria

  • UG applicants need to pass 10+2 with at least 45-50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (40% for reserved categories like BC/MBC, pass for SC/ST), with cutoffs typically ranging 100-168.3 out of 200.
  • PG candidates require a B.E./B.Tech degree with 50% marks in a relevant field, plus valid TANCET/GATE scores.
  • Lateral entry for B.Tech (second year) accepts diploma holders with similar aggregates.
  • No age limit applies, and other-state students may need Anna University eligibility certificates.
