TANCET 2020 Exam Pattern: The sectional division of TANCET Question Paper tests a candidates’ ability to:
Critically evaluate the data and problems given, and apply solutions to such problems (Section – Business Analysis)
Answer questions based on reading comprehension (Section – Reading Comprehension)
Solve mathematical problems (Section – Quantitative Aptitude)
Testing data sufficiency and answer questions based on given data (Section – Data Sufficiency)
Identify grammatical, punctuation-related and spelling errors in the English Language (Section – Verbal Ability/English Language)
