In this post you will get to know how to use the TNEAhelp College Finder tool. We will explain step-by-step on how to benefit from this tool.
Accessing it
The TNEAhelp College-Finder is available at the top menu and can be accessed from the menubar at the top of the page
Using the College-Finder
This tool is simple to use and is very useful. It displays various courses and colleges available for your cutoff and other preferences. The usage has been explained here with screenshots (images) to assist you thorough using this tool. A few tips worth mentioning are listed at the end of this blog
Enter your cutoff and category
First enter your cutoff and select your category (OC/BCM/BC/MBC/SCA/SC/ST). The results are dependent on the category and relevant results will be displayed.
Select one or more Colleges
By default, when the page loads, “All Colleges” is selected, which means that the seats in all the colleges for your cutoff will be displayed.
You can specifically select one or more colleges which you like. To do this, click on a college’s name in the box on the left (as shown in the picture below).
Once you click a college, it will appear on the box on the right as shown in the figure below.
The colleges in the box on the right are your choices.
Note that a summary of the total number of colleges and the number of colleges in both the right and the left boxes are shown on the top of each box as indicated in the picture below.
Note that you can filter the colleges by name (i.e. type in a few letters in the college and see only the colleges having those letters in the name). As an example, the figure below, shows how to find all colleges having “Anna Univ” in their name. This will allow you to quickly narrow down the list.
The summary is shown even when the filters are active.
If you want to remove all the colleges that you have selected, simply click the Remove All button at the top as shown in the figure below.
Select one or more Branches
Now select one or more branches – the procedure is same as that of selecting colleges.
