TANCET 2026 Eligibility Criteria
There is no age limit. Candidates must have completed their graduation or be in their final year, with a minimum of 50% marks (45% for reserved categories).
These criteria apply to the Anna University MBA entrance exam. Final-year students are also eligible to apply.
Image Size Tips for Photo Uploads
Many students face problems uploading photos.
- KB Reducer Usage: Reduce the file size using online tools such as TinyPNG or Compress JPEG. Keep the photo size between 20-50 KB.
- KB Increaser: If the file size is too small increase the pixel dimensions using Paint or an online tool ensuring that the image quality is not compromised.
- Best Practice: The photo should be recent, feature a white background and be in JPEG format. The signature should be in blue ink and under 10 KB.
This will bring the form rejection rate down to zero. I am speaking from experience; last year, many students had to re-upload their forms for this very reason.
