A new corrections system to award negative marks for wrong answers has been introduced in this year�s TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test) for admission to engineering courses, MBA, MCA, M Tech, etc.
Professor Nagarajan, Anna University, explained that over 40000 candidates have applied for this year�s TANCET. Last year, 90000 candidates had applied. .
TANCET is scheduled to be conducted at 86 centres throughout Tamil Nadu.
A service centre has been set up in each TANCET centre on 15th May to explain & clarify any doubts of the candidates regarding hall-ticket, etc.
In the test centre at Anna University complex, this service centre will function for 2 days on 14th & 15th May.
In this year�s TANCET, negative marks will be awarded to each wrong answer. Until last year, the practice was to award 1 negative mark for every 4 wrong answers.
However, from this year, 1 negative mark will be awarded for every 3 wrong answers as practised in other entrance tests like MAT.
