Q:   Which TANCET score would be used for admissions into TANCET MBA colleges? I have an actual score of 29.33 and a percentile score of 87.678.

A:
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.

TANCET Result 2025: What is Normalisation of Marks?

Starting the 2023 exam term, TANCET exam is only conducted for MBA and MCA courses. The normalisation of marks is not required for TANCET MBA and MCA courses as the exam is held in a single shift. Candidates who took the Tamil Nadu state-level exam for ME/MTech/MArch/Plan courses, i.e. CEETA PG, will face normalisation of scores for first two parts of the exam. 

The normalisation of marks is done for ME/ MTech/ MArch / MPlan programmes only. The question paper of the entrance test is divided into three parts – Part I (Engineering Mathematics), Part II (Basic Engineering & Sciences) and Part III (meant for different disciplines). Part I and II are common for all programmes, while Part III differs based on the course. As a result, the mean mark and standard deviation vary as per disciplines in Part III. To bring uniformity in variations, marks of candidates are normalised. The formula for calculating the normalized marks is given below.

Formula for normalisation of marks: 

N= 40+(10/s) X (R-M)

Where,

N= Normalised marks

S= Standard Deviation

R= Raw marks

M= Mean marks

Note: TANCET rank list 2025 will be prepared based on the normalised marks.

Q:   What factors are taken into consideration for the normalization of marks in TANCET?

A:
The normalisation of marks is done based on the standard deviation, mean marks and raw score. However, TANCET score for MBA and MCA courses are not normalised as the questions in TANCET exam remains the same for all the candidates. Additionally, the MBA and MCA exam are conducted in single shifts. Scores for the Engineering exam, CEETA PG, will be normalised using a predefined formulae. Although CEETA PG is also conducted in single shift, the question variation in the stream specific section can lead to change of the difficulty standards in the exam.
