TANCET participating colleges define the TANCET cutoff scores or the last ranks for admission. However, participating institutes do not release a cutoff list for candidates to check during the admission process. In fact the cutoff scores are not released by any authority during the admission session. Candidates can find the TANCET cutoff scores and TANCET last ranks, from the previous admission session, published on the official admission website, I. e. Tamil Nadu-mbamca. Com.

Yes, ofcourse! The admission to the BBA coyrse at MAdras University is not entrance based. There is no need to appear for any kind of entrance exam to take the admission in BBA. Interested candidates needs to fulfill the eligibility criteria set by the University and submit an application form. That's it.

Directorate of Technical Education, Chennai, only considers TANCET percentile score. TANCET actual score is calculated by allotting 1 mark each for the correct response and deducting 1/3 mark for each incorrect response. The actual score can be converted into a percentile score after evaluating the total test takers with an actual score that is less than a particular test taker. For example, Mohan has an actual score of 59 marks, and 95% of the total test takers secured an actual score below 59. In such a case, the percentile score of Mohan will be 95. Similarly, if 98% of the test takers had secured an actual score less than 59, Mohan would get 98 as his percentile score in TANCET exam. Further, DTE allots TANCET rank based on the percentile score of the test taker eligible for the counselling process.

Some factors that influence TANCET cutoff scores include number of seats, difficulty level of exam, previous cutoff trends, number of test takers, performance of test takers, among other factors.

As per the TANCET cutoff from 2021 and 2020 session, candidates who had secured more than 99 percentile were admitted to the college for MBA Admission. The cutoff score for each year varies and the reservation quota also has an impact on PSGCT admission. Generally if a candidate is ranked within top 130 test takers, he she has a higher chance of getting into PSG College of Technology.
