Step 3 - Filling choices - After payment of the TNEA 2023 counselling fee, candidates will have to log in to the TNEA portal using their user Id and password (Same that used at the time of registration). Upon successful login, candidates will have to choose their preferred choices of institutes and courses.

If a candidate fails to lock his/her choices within the stipulated time, the system will automatically lock the choices.
