The cut off is the minimum qualifying score required for the exam. The TANCET cut off is derived using a variety of parameters, including the total number of candidates who applied, the number of seats available, the difficulty level of the question papers, and so on. Cutoffs vary per programme and college. TANCET member institutes admit students based on their cutoff results. However, cutoff scores are not made public beforehand. DTE, Chennai publishes the cutoff ranks and percentile scores from the previous closed session, along with counselling information.

Factors Determining the TANCET Cutoff

As it was realized over the years that there are variables over cut-offs marks in TANCET and changeable every year. Further, the factors that bring about these cut-off marks are mainly covered below:

Reservation Criteria - Candidates from the general category generally face higher cut-off marks in comparison to the cut-offs required by candidates belonging to the reserved categories, that is, ST, OBC, and SC. Whenever the number of candidates exceeds the number of available seats, a rise in cut-off marks for all categories is expected and vice versa when the scenario is opposite.

Number of Seats Available - The number of available seats has a significant impact on the cut-off scores. The cut-off scores are likely to be much higher if the candidates appearing for TANCET exams outnumber the seats available. The cut-off scores are likely to be lower if relatively fewer candidates appear compared to the available seats.

Total Number of Appearing Candidates - The actual number of candidates who appear for the exam plays a crucial role in determining the cut-off scores; a higher number of appearing candidates typically results in higher cut-off scores, and vice versa.

Difficulty Level of the Question Paper - Lower marks imply a difficulty level and higher cut-off marks occur with easier marks. But there's minimal scope for sharp variations when difficulty is matched. For the past ten years, the level of difficulty in papers has always fallen under moderate to difficult.
