Disclaimer: Education guidance for students and parents choosing Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary groups. This is civic journalism, not a Directorate of Government Examinations circular or a school prospectus. Group codes, subject combinations, and undergraduate eligibility change — confirm the current offer with the admitting school and official admission notifications before you decide.

Five steps

  1. List the school’s real codes. Write the groups the admitting school actually offers. Strike any code that is not on the prospectus.
  2. Score interest. For each remaining group, score 1–5 on whether the student wants those four subjects for two years.
  3. Score ability. Score 1–5 on whether current marks and habits can carry the hardest paper in that group (Maths, Biology, Accountancy, or essay load).
  4. Score eligibility. Score 1–5 on whether the intended degrees usually need those subjects. Check TNEA, NEET or the college — do not invent a cut-off.
  5. Talk, then rank. Add the scores. The highest total is a discussion rank, not a seat. Read the matching group page before fees.

After you rank, open the matching group page and confirm the school still offers that code.

FAQ

Is the highest score the group I must take?

No. It is a ranking aid. If the school does not offer that code, use the next total that still keeps your degree door open.

Do you store my answers?

Scores stay in this browser (localStorage). There is no account and no server worksheet.

Should parents fill this alone?

No. Sit with the student. Prestige pressure is one of the reasons this sheet exists.

Fine print

This page was drafted with AI-assisted tools and human editorial review for mychennaicity.in. AI can miss updates or local nuance — cross-check primary sources and your own documents before decisions. Cross-check group codes with the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Government Examinations and the admitting school. For engineering, medicine and professional courses, use the current TNEA, NTA and institute notifications — not this page alone.
