How to calculate TANCET marks?

TANCET is a state-level MBA entrance exam conducted by Anna University, offering admission to courses like MBA and MCA. As per the TANCET exam pattern, the exam is scored out of 100 marks. The total marks are calculated based on the TANCET marking scheme.

• For each correct answer, candidates are awarded 1 mark.
• There is a negative marking of ⅓ for each incorrect answer.

TANCET marks = total number of correct responses - ⅓ (number of incorrect responses)

How is the percentile calculated in TANCET?

To calculate the accurate percentile, it is important to know the number of candidates who will appear in the TANCET 2026 exam. The TANCET percentile score is calculated using the following formula:

Percentile= [(?−Rank)/?]×100

where:

• N is the total number of candidates who appeared for the exam
• Rank is the candidate's rank in the exam

For example, if 10,000 candidates appeared for TANCET and a candidate secured the 500th rank, their percentile would be:

• Percentile= [(10000−500)10000]×100=95%

This means the candidate performed better than 95% of the test-takers.

• A candidate having a higher average percentage from the first semester/year to the (N-1)th semester/year in the qualifying degree exam is given priority. Here, N represents the total number of semesters/years in the qualifying exam.
