| Re: Preparation Tips for TANCET
TANCET is a Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test.
It is an Entrance Examination which is organized for admission to the professional Post Graduate courses.
TANCET examination is conducted by Anna University.
I am giving you some preparation tips for this exam:
Candidates should do study according to syllabus.
Candidates should do study according to paper pattern.
Candidates should maintain a time table for studies.
Candidates must do practice of previous year papers.
Candidates must do revision again and again.
Candidates should collect good study material.
Candidates should use good books of exam.
