B.E./B.Tech Mechanical at PSG Institute of Technology and Applied Research: Eligibility & Requirements

The academic-stream route requires higher-secondary mathematics, physics and chemistry and eligibility under a permitted TNEA category. OCI/PIO and refugee provisions have additional restrictions.

• Pass HSC academic first and second years (+1 and +2), or an accepted equivalent, with mathematics, physics and chemistry.
• Minimum Class 12 PCM average: 45% for general-category applicants; 40% for eligible Tamil Nadu BC/BCM, MBC/DNC, SC/SCA/ST applicants.
• Indian applicants must satisfy TNEA nativity, Tamil Nadu schooling or the specified parental-employment/service exceptions.
• OCI/PIO cardholders must be Tamil Nadu natives; those born in a foreign country after 4 March 2021 are excluded from this provision.
• Sri Lankan Tamil refugees must have studied in Tamil Nadu and provide the required refugee identification records.
• The OCI/PIO and Sri Lankan Tamil refugee provisions are open-category/open-competition routes, not communal-reservation entitlements.
• Eligibility must be met by the application closing date; later qualification results do not establish eligibility for that cycle.
• Open to: Indian nationals satisfying TNEA academic and nativity/exception rules
• Open to: OCI/PIO cardholders native to Tamil Nadu, subject to the foreign-birth-date exclusion
• Open to: Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who studied in Tamil Nadu, with the required identification documents
• Only the first-year academic-stream TNEA government-quota route is covered, not unrestricted foreign, NRI, management-quota, vocational or lateral-entry admission.
• Tamil Nadu candidates who completed Classes 8–12 in Tamil Nadu do not need a nativity certificate. Tamil Nadu natives who studied any of those classes outside the state need the prescribed electronic nativity certificate.
• Children of Central Government employees serving continuously in Tamil Nadu for five years may apply with employer evidence; a guardian qualifies only when both parents are deceased.
• Children of permanent employees of public-sector or government-recognised institutions serving continuously in Tamil Nadu for five years may apply with employer and employment evidence.
• Children of All India Service officers of the Tamil Nadu cadre may apply with the required parental self-declaration. Other-state applicants who completed Classes 8–12 in Tamil Nadu may also apply.
• The parental-service and other-state schooling categories compete in Open Competition, not Tamil Nadu communal reservation.
• Tamil Nadu native OCI/PIO cardholders may compete in Open Category; the exception excludes those born abroad after 4 March 2021.
• Sri Lankan Tamil refugees educated in Tamil Nadu may compete in Open Competition with the prescribed refugee documentation.
• Communal reservation requires Tamil Nadu nativity and a valid Tamil Nadu community certificate; other eligible categories compete in Open Competition.

This is not an unrestricted foreign-national, separate NRI-quota or management-quota admission offer.
