Pro Tips for TNEA Success

Counseling Registration

Use a clean, professional photo. The image uploaded during counseling will appear on your official engineering college ID card.

Tight Signature Bounds

TNEA signatures must be extremely small (5 KB to 20 KB). Sign with a thick black pen so it remains legible at 5KB.

No Mobile Filters

Do not apply color filters, beautifying apps, or heavy contrast adjustments. Keep the skin tone and colors natural.

Common Rejection Mistakes to Avoid

Uploading Casual Social Media Photos

Using casual crop-outs from group photos or vacation snaps. These look unprofessional and will be rejected by verification officers.

Incorrect Signature Compression

Compressing the signature to under 20KB using bad tools often results in blurry, illegible lines, which slows down document verification.

Using Mobile Beautification Filters

Applying smoothing or color filters that alter your actual skin tone and features, making it hard to match your face during counseling.

Official Photography & Scanning Guidelines

Formal Attire: Wear decent, solid-colored clothing (collared shirts are recommended for a professional look).
Sign on Plain Paper: For signatures, use a clean white unruled paper. Sign with black ink for better scanner contrast.
Bright Room Lighting: Stand facing a window or light source so your face is illuminated evenly without harsh shadows.
Keep Device Level: If someone is taking your photo with a phone, ensure the camera is at your eye level.
