Two weeks is plenty if you work in order. Week one — research: fix your constraints (branches you'd accept, districts your family supports, hostel vs day-scholar), then pull the multi-year closing cutoffs for every matching college and sort them into reach, target, and safe bands around your own cutoff. Remember the Chennai quirk — search Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, and Thiruvallur too. Week two — decisions: turn the bands into one ranked list of 60–100 choices in genuine preference order, discuss it with your family once (not daily — churn kills clarity), and get your certificates folder ready. Then enter choices on day one of your window and use the remaining days for small corrections, never a rebuild. Note your exact window on TNEA 2026 key dates and work backward from it.
