What is the pattern of a TANCET sample paper?
A TANCET model paper copies the real test, so you practise with the same sections and marking.
| Paper | Areas covered | Questions and time |
|---|---|---|
| MBA | Business situations, comprehension, mathematics, data sufficiency, English usage | 100 questions, 2 hours |
| MCA | Quantitative ability, analytical ability, logical reasoning, computer awareness | 100 questions, 2 hours |
Each correct answer gets 1 mark and each wrong or multiple-shaded answer loses 1/4 mark.
How should I use the TANCET sample paper?
- Print the paper and sit for 2 hours with a timer.
- Mark answers on a separate sheet as if it were the OMR sheet.
- Skip questions you cannot narrow down, since each wrong answer costs 1/4 mark.
- Check your answers with the key at the end of the set, list the areas you got wrong and revise them.
- Repeat with the second set a week later to measure progress.
