Why is TANCET 2026 being postponed?

The TANCET 2026 has been postponed mainly due to feedback from candidates and scheduling concerns. Delays in releasing the official notification and the expected timeline between registration and the exam dates also made the March schedule difficult.

Many aspirants requested Anna University to shift the exam from March to May because final-year undergraduate students will be busy with semester exams during that period.
Conducting the test later allows them to complete their exams before appearing for TANCET 2026.
Some academic sources also suggested that the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections could influence the exam schedule.
Therefore, the university has proposed holding the exam in May 2026.
