Why do so few colleges show up when I filter by Chennai district?

You've hit the most common filtering trap in TNEA research. Officially, only about 5 colleges are recorded under "Chennai" district — because most of the metro's colleges physically sit just outside the city's revenue-district boundary. The Chennai region's roughly 88 colleges are actually spread across Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, and Thiruvallur districts. So a student who filters "Chennai" alone silently hides nearly the entire metro from their shortlist and wonders where all the colleges went. The fix is simple: whenever you mean "Chennai area", search all four districts — Chennai plus Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, and Thiruvallur — and then judge by actual commute or hostel plans, since "metro" colleges range from city-edge to a long drive out. Run that four-district search properly on the free TNEAhelp College-Finder.
