Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) offers admission to its UG programs primarily through merit-based aggregate scores from Class 12, without an entrance exam for state quota candidates. For B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture, top general candidates typically require aggregates around 180–200, while reserved categories like SC/ST/MBC have lower thresholds. Horticulture, Forestry, and Agricultural Engineering follow similar competitive patterns. These aggregates are calculated as (Biology or Botany + Zoology)/2 + (Physics + Chemistry)/4 out of 200, ensuring fair assessment of science proficiency. The university fills 4645 seats in its 14 constituent colleges across 13 programs, with counseling conducted online. Historical trends show stable aggregate cutoffs over the last four years, highlighting consistent demand for top courses. Semester fees are 50,000 INR for general students, with management quota at 70,000 INR.
