Entrance Preview
TNPCEE - Entrance examinations conducted by Tamil Nadu Department of Technical Education (DOTE). During my time, the entrance exam was a tough one to crack but relatively comfortable to students studying in the CBSE and other syllabi. It has changed over a period of time and now, with NEET coming to the fray, the situation may change a bit. The selection process is always fair, meritocratic and per established norms.
