All the best guys. Rock the JEE. Time has never been better to get into IITs. 10 IITs this year with enhanced seats in the existing IITs.
Off the ones apart from AIEEE, do try a little extra for Manipal, it's worth going there than going to SRM (Very crappy) or VIT (Not as good).
SRM and VIT have come a long way. IMO, there are the best instis to study Engg in TN. The top colleges in TN, IMO:
1. IIT Madras
2. NIT Trichy
3. CEG, Chennai
4. PSG Tech, Coimbatore
5. MIT, Chennai
6. VIT, Vellore (has one of the best infrastructure)
7. Thayagajar Engg. College, Madurai
8. CIT, Coimbatore
9. St. Joseph College of Engineering, Chennai
10. SRM, Chennai
