THE Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) committee on Tuesday released the engineering rank list, on which at least 13 students have secured a perfect score of 200.
However, what surprised academicians was that over 1 lakh students scored more than 150 marks, while only 31,000 managed to do so last year. With the number of high scorers shooting up, the number of students securing less than 100 marks has dwindled. While 26,533 students scored less than 100 marks last year, only 1,193 did so this year.
Students who secured between 160 and 180 marks are expected to have a tough time getting the courses and colleges of their choice, as a maximum number of candidates obtained scores within this band. While 57,592 students scored between 160 and 180 marks this year, the corresponding figure last year was 14,185.
