Yes, this will definitely affect the rank. This can increase or decrease your ranks subjected to the correctness of your guess work. Now suppose you have attempted total 50 questions, in which 10 questions were attempted by using your guess work. Now let's see what will happened?
1. Case-1 : If 10 questions are wrong. Than your score will be 40*4-10=150
2. Case-2 : If 5 questions are correct than your score will be 40*4+5*4-5=175
3. Case-2 : If 2 questions are correct than your score will be 40*4+2*4-8=152
4. Case-4 : If you have not attempted any question by using guess work than score will be 40*4=160
So from above it is clear that guess work can be benefited up to some extent but not recommendable.

Hi,
If you have completed Diploma in any branch, then you have to apply for lateral entry counseling in Anna University. Only few places are available per branch. If you get good percentage, then it will very easy to join any college of your choice. Anna university will conduct lateral entry counselling after conducting regular students admission, so you might probably join one and half month later than, the regular class for second year had completed. Secondly you will get only few seats left in each branch, so the higher your score higher is your probability of getting seats in top colleges. Third important information is, you will be asked to join in the college the very next day after your counselling, so be prepared for that. Since you already are one and half month late to college, don't make further delays. That's the time phase where every important basics will be covered in class. As a lateral entry student, you will have to cover entire syllabus at short period of time, so before joining college I would recommend you to go through the syllabus and learn them before you join, this will improve your image and competence. Hoping that u got your answer.
