Pro-Tip for 2026: TGCHE has introduced "Instant Scores" this year, meaning you may see your provisional marks on the screen immediately after clicking "Submit" at the end of your test. Also, remember that 100% of your rank is now based on your entrance score, as the 25% Intermediate weightage remains scrapped.
