Latest Exam Pattern & Marking Scheme

The 2026 exam will be a pen-and-paper (offline) test using OMR sheets. It consists of 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to be completed in 120 minutes.

• Positive Marking: +1 for every correct answer.

• Negative Marking: ⅓ (0.33) mark will be deducted for every wrong answer.

• MBA Sections: Analysis of Business Situations, Reading Comprehension, Quantitative Aptitude, Data Sufficiency, and General English.

• MCA Sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Computer Awareness.

Expert Tip: Since there is a significant negative marking, candidates are advised to skip questions they are unsure about. No marks are deducted for unattempted questions.

Eligibility and Counselling

To be eligible, candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree with at least 50% aggregate (45% for reserved categories). Final-year students are also eligible to apply, provided they submit their proof of passing during the counselling phase.

The counselling process is expected to begin in June 2026, handled by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Tamil Nadu. Admissions will be based on the “Normalized Score,” which ensures fairness across different exam sessions.

What to Do if You Face Issues?
