Actually, it is possible to admit to the B.E./B.Tech course without TNEA in the A.R.J College of Engineering and Technology (ARJCET) through the management quota. Even though TNEA is the main road for class 12-mark admissions, the college may conduct direct admission under the management quota, which usually do not demand the TNEA rank. However, the candidates must fulfill the eligibility criteria, like having the required marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at the class 12 level. It is always better to contact the college's admission office for specific details regarding the management quota.
