JCT College of Engineering and Technology (JCT CET), Coimbatore, admits B.E./B.Tech students through TNEA counseling based on Class 12 marks, with cutoffs reflecting merit ranks varying by branch and category. For 2025, TNEA Round 1 closing ranks ranged from 79,310 (CSE General) to 236,416 (SC BE), showing competitive entry for popular branches.
Admission criteria require 45-50% in PCM for Class 12, with relaxed marks for reserved categories; no entrance exam, purely merit-based via TNEA rank list.
Eligibility mandates passing Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM aggregate: 50% OC, 45% BC/BCM, 40% MBC/DNC, 35% SC/ST) from Tamil Nadu state board or equivalent. Vocational candidates need 50%/45%/40%/35% in relevant subjects; lateral entry for diploma holders follows similar relaxations.
TNEA process: register, rank list, counseling rounds; management quota allows direct admission meeting criteria. PG (M.E.) uses GATE/CEETA scores.
2025 TNEA cutoffs (last round closing ranks) for B.Tech/B.E. showed CSE as most competitive at 79,310 (General), up to 126,660 overall. B.Tech branches: Civil 207,323 (OC), Mechanical 219,111, Petroleum 225,448; BE like EEE up to 230,456.
OC cutoffs trended lower (better ranks): 2025 OC B.Tech 114,074 vs. 2024 104,439 (rising slightly); BC/MBC around 150,000-160,000, SC 190,000+. BCM often between OC and BC, e.g., 2025 B.Tech 125,588 vs. 2023 123,722.
Reserved categories see higher ranks (easier entry): SC 231,798 (2025) vs. OC 114,074; trends stable with minor fluctuations yearly. SCA/MBCDNC fill unfilled seats if available.
CSE/AI&DS most competitive (79k-100k ranks), core like Civil/Mechanical/Petroleum 150k-220k; Food Technology/Petrochemical 210k+. 2024: CSE ~80k-90k, Civil 192k; 2023 similar, 2022 higher ranks (less competitive).
Yearly rise in CSE cutoffs reflects demand; core stable but improving with placements.
Cutoffs depend on applicant pool, Class 12 marks normalization, seat availability (525 UG seats), and branch popularity; CSE lowest ranks, niche like Petroleum higher. Management seats bypass cutoffs for eligible candidates.
Check TNEA portal for real-time updates; ranks above cutoff secure seats in counseling.
