TANCET Counselling

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.

Admission to MBA programs at the University of Madras and Anna University is based on various factors, including TANCET scores, academic records, and other criteria specific to each university. While your TANCET scores are decent, admission decisions are not solely based on scores and vary depending on various factors. For the University of Madras MBA programme, the minimum required TANCET score for BC category students is 35.33, which is the actual score you obtained. However, meeting the minimum score requirement does not guarantee admission, as admission also depends on the number of applicants and available seats. The university also considers the candidate's academic performance, work experience, and performance in the Personal Interview to make admission decisions. Similarly, for the Anna University MBA programme, the minimum TANCET score required for BC category students is 35.33. However, the admission process also includes group discussion and Personal Interview rounds. Your performance in these rounds and other factors such as academic records, work experience, and other criteria specific to the university are also considered while making admission decisions. Therefore, while your scores meet the minimum requirements, it is difficult to predict whether you will get admission to either of the universities. I suggest contacting the universities' admission offices to get more information about the admission process and selection criteria.
