Anna University has declared the results for the Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (TANCET) and Common Engineering Entrance Test and Admissions Postgraduate (CEETA PG) 2026 on May 22, 2026.

This announcement comes earlier than the anticipated May 23 date, giving students a chance to see how they have performed before the counselling process begins.
The results are for the three major streams: MBA, MCA, and the Engineering stream, which consists of M.E., M.Tech., M.Arch., and M.Plan courses. To view the results, candidates need their registered email ID and a password.

Steps to Check your TANCET CEETA PG Result 2026
The process to check the results is rather simple. All you need to do is visit the Anna University website at tancet.annauniv.edu and click the TANCET and CEETA PG Result 2026 link. Then enter your registered number and password and click submit. Your results in terms of score and rank will be displayed.
Anna University has informed us of a small number of students who have requested minor changes to their applications. This includes changes to name initials and spellings, date of birth, sex, community, and nativity. This is the last opportunity for students to submit any of these changes, as the score cards will be available. Please submit any documentation to tanceeta@gmail.com.
The scorecards will be ready for print on May 27, 2026 and will be available to print until June 26, 2026. A printed copy of the score card will need to be brought to counselling for document verification.
Score Understanding and Normalising: Necessary Knowledge by Candidates
Grasping your TANCET score is essential to approaching the counselling stage. For MBA and MCA candidates, marks are not normalised. Since the question paper is the same, and both exams are in the same shifts, they are run the same way. For the CEETA PG, scores are adjusted according to a recognised formula using the average and standard deviation of the shifts' scores.
With the scores, 75 is likely to be in the 99th percentile, in which case candidates are at least competitive for admission to Anna University as well as PSG Tech, while scores between 65 and 70 are likely to be around the 96th percentile. There are no formal cutoffs to be released yet; however, candidates with higher scores should look up what colleges and/or programs they are interested in offer. Registrations for the counselling should begin around mid-July, and all needed documents must be available for candidates to present for verification.
