KCT Business School (KCTBS), Coimbatore, primarily admits students to its MBA program through the Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (TANCET), conducted by Anna University. The TANCET 2025 exam was held on March 22, 2025, with results announced on or before April 24, 2025. As of September 11, 2025, the official Round 1 cutoff ranks for the 2025-26 academic year have been released via the Tamil Nadu MBA/MCA counseling portal (tn-mbamca.com). Admissions are allocated through centralized counseling, considering factors like the number of applicants, seat availability (180 seats for MBA at KCTBS), and category-wise reservations.
KCTBS does not use "All India Quota" or "Home State Quota" in the traditional engineering sense (like TNEA for B.Tech), as it follows TANCET's single counseling process for Tamil Nadu-affiliated institutions. However, seat reservations align with state norms: 70% for Tamil Nadu domiciles (effectively "Home State") and 30% open to all (All India). Cutoffs are expressed as marks (out of 100) or ranks, with higher marks indicating lower (better) ranks. The general category closing marks for MBA in Round 1 stood at approximately 70-75 marks, reflecting moderate competition.
KCTBS offers MBA with specializations in areas like Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations, Business Analytics, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship. There are no separate branch-wise cutoffs; allocation is to the general MBA pool, with specialization choices made post-admission based on merit. Below is the Round 1 TANCET 2025 cutoff data for MBA (General Category), based on the latest available counseling results. Note: Exact ranks vary by round; subsequent rounds (up to Round 3 or supplementary) may have higher closing ranks/marks due to vacant seats.
