Master of Business Administration (MBA) : TANCET 2024 Last Round Closing Score (General-All India)
TANCET Percentile Score vs TANCET Marks
The TANCET results include several details including both TANCET marks and TANCET percentile score. TANCET marks refer to the actual score in the TANCET exam calculated based on the marking scheme. Whereas, the TANCET percentile score is the comparative performance depicting how well you did in the exam as compared to other candidates. The percentile score in TANCET does not take into account the negative marking.
Calculation of Percentile Score in TANCET 2024
| The formula to calculate the TANCET percentile score is as follows: |
| TANCET Percentile Score: (Y/N)*100 |
Here, Y denotes the total number of test takers having a lower score. Whereas, N denotes the total number of candidates who took the TANCET exam. A candidate with a 97 per cent score indicates that he/she scored better than 97 per cent of the test takers in TANCET 2024.
Q: Â 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.
Upvote Q: Â Which marks will be considered for TANCET counselling: normalized marks or actual marks?
The normalization of marks in TANCET exam is done only for the engineering courses, admissions to PG engineering courses are based on the CEETA PG exam. No normalisation of marks is dow for MBA and MCA admissions. To call candidates for TANCET counselling, the examination authority will use the actual marks or percentile score.
Percentile score and actual marks varies as the marks are calculated based on the marking scheme, whereas the percentile score is calculates using the marks of test taker in comparison of other test takers.
