Pro Tips for TANCET Success

Hall Ticket Matching

This photo will print on your TANCET MBA/MCA entrance hall ticket. It is cross-verified at the examination hall.

Light Neutral Backdrop

Use a studio-white or light grey backdrop. Avoid dark walls or outdoor greenery behind you.

Signature Dimensions

Ensure your signature is cropped to 3.5 x 1.5 cm and compressed to a 5 KB to 10 KB file limit.

Common Rejection Mistakes to Avoid

Exceeding the 30KB Limit

TANCET has a very narrow size limit (max 30KB). Standard web compressors reduce quality too much, making the text/face extremely blurry.

Mismatched ID Card Verification

Uploading a photo that is outdated or looks different from your actual appearance, leading to delays and questioning at the exam hall.

Incorrect Signature Aspect Ratio

Stretching a tall signature to fit the wide box, resulting in a distorted image that looks fake.

Official Photography & Scanning Guidelines

✓

Use a Modern Camera: Capture the photo with a modern smartphone camera or a digital camera in high resolution.

✓

Check Eye Level: Look straight into the lens. Your eyes should be open and centered in the upper third of the photo.

✓

Ensure Good Contrast: Wear a dark shirt if your background is white to create a professional contrast.

✓

Scan Signatures Carefully: Ensure there are no shadows on the white paper when capturing the signature with your phone.
