TANCET Admit Card 2026: Download Steps, Exam Timings and Duplicate Hall Ticket
How to download TANCET 2023 Admit Card?
TANCET admit card 2026 was released by Anna University on 27 April 2026 for the MBA and MCA entrance tests held on 9 May. The hall ticket was issued online through the candidate login using the registered email address and password. The regular exam download stage has ended, but candidates should keep the printed hall ticket because its registration number is used again during counselling and admission.
MBA and MCA candidates used the same TANCET portal, but their exam timings were different. MCA was held from 10 AM to 12 noon, followed by MBA from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. M.E., M.Tech, M.Arch and M.Plan candidates appeared for CEETA-PG on 10 May, not TANCET.

TANCET Admit Card FAQs
Download and Login
When was the TANCET 2026 admit card released? +
Anna University released the TANCET 2026 hall ticket on 27 April 2026. MBA and MCA candidates downloaded it through the common TANCET/CEETA-PG candidate portal before the 9 May examination.
Which login details were needed for the hall ticket? +
The 2026 candidate login asked for the registered email address, password and five-digit CAPTCHA. The password field accepted up to eight characters. A candidate who forgot the password had to use the account-recovery option tied to the registered email.
Can I download the TANCET 2026 hall ticket now? +
The regular download belonged to the pre-exam stage, and the 2026 examination ended on 9 May. A candidate who now needs the hall ticket for counselling or admission should use the duplicate-hall-ticket route published by Anna University instead of relying on an old download button.
Exam Centre and Documents
Was a mobile copy of the TANCET admit card enough? +
Anna University's brochure required candidates to produce the hall ticket at the entrance test. A saved image on a phone did not replace the printed document used at the centre. The print needed to show the photograph, paper, timing and full venue clearly.
Was a colour printout compulsory? +
The 2026 information brochure required candidates to produce the hall ticket but did not state that only a colour print was valid. The practical requirement was a clear print on which the photograph, registration number and venue instructions could be read.
Could the TANCET exam centre be changed after the hall ticket? +
No. Anna University stated that an allotted centre could not be changed for any reason. The authority tried to honour the preferred city, but it could allot another centre when space was unavailable.
Did the 2026 brochure name a compulsory photo ID? +
The hall-ticket section of the 2026 brochure required candidates to produce the hall ticket but did not give a separate list of accepted photo IDs. Candidates had to follow the item list printed on their own hall ticket instead of relying on a generic document list.
After the Examination
Is the TANCET hall ticket needed for counselling? +
Yes. Anna University's 2026 brochure states that the hall ticket should be produced at the entrance test and during counselling and admission. Its registration number is also entered in the admission application, so the PDF and printed copy should be kept with the scorecard.
How do I get a duplicate TANCET hall ticket after the exam? +
Send a written request to The Secretary, TANCET, Anna University, Chennai - 600 025. Mention the registration or application number and the examination-centre name.
Attach a Demand Draft for INR 590 in favour of The Secretary, TANCET, Anna University, payable at Chennai, and a self-addressed stamped cover. The official portal listed INR 42 postage for the cover.
Is TANCET admit card the same as CEETA-PG admit card? +
No. TANCET 2026 covered MBA and MCA and was conducted on 9 May. CEETA-PG covered M.E., M.Tech, M.Arch and M.Plan and was held on 10 May. Both used Anna University's common examination portal, but the paper name, date and session on the hall ticket had to match the candidate's application.
Which number from the hall ticket is used for admission? +
Use the TANCET registration number assigned on the hall ticket. Anna University's brochure specifically asks candidates to enter that number in the later admission application filed with the admitting authority.
