Done preparing for the TANCET exam? Good job; now you need to make a list of your preferred colleges and put it down on paper so that whenever the real cutoff list comes out, you can check out which college you are getting into. This might sound like a very complicated and tiresome task, but do not worry. We have mentioned two separate lists of top-rated colleges accepting the 90th percentile and lower than that. So, if you are a bit confused about which college you need to put on your list, here is a blog featuring all that.
There are almost 500 colleges of Anna University, and we cannot list them all here. There are a number of the best colleges that will acknowledge TANCET 2026 scores.All such colleges have good infrastructure, faculty, and a placement cell that is really working. The most competitive colleges deserve very high scores (95th percentile or above), but others will look for scores at the lower end (80 and above).

Once you are done with the exam, you need to make a preference list of colleges and start applying one by one. The application steps are mentioned below:
Another important factor that students need to consider is that some top-rated colleges arrange a group discussion between the selected students to finalize the list. It is similar to an interview; they will test you for your soft skills and confidence here.
For some colleges, the TANCET score might be more than enough to select a candidate, but there are a few top-rated colleges that highly consider Group Discussions (GD) and Personal Interviews (PI).
Every student who is appearing for any exam goes through the overthinking stage, so put a halt to your overthinking and anxiety. There is another way to pursue your MBA course via the online mode and get the same number of benefits and exposure as the traditional degree program.
Just in case even the TANCET 2026 exam score goes down the hill for you, you will still have a solid option of your online degree as a backup. Another factor of the online MBA program is that you will receive the same quality of education and the same networking opportunities.
Yes, some colleges have an interview process after the exam to finalize the list.
Yes, you can make your preferred college list according to your own choice.
The highest is 99 percentiles for the MBA courses in PSGCT.
Educational documents (10, 10+2, graduation degree)
