B.E. / B.Tech Computer Science and IT usually travel with engineering counselling. PCM in Higher Secondary is the conversation TNEA documents. School Computer Science (2502) is useful preparation.
BCA and B.Sc. Computer Science have varied eligibility. Some colleges accept commerce or humanities with Computer Applications (2702, 2802). Some still ask for Mathematics. Read that college.
2503 has PCM but no Computer Science paper. Computing degrees can still be possible where the brochure cares about PCM, not about the school CS book.
