TN MBA/MCA Counselling 2026: Registration Closed; Candidates Must Check Certificate Verification Status Before Rank List Release: The Tamil Nadu MBA/MCA Admissions Authority has officially closed the registration process for TANCET MBA/MCA Counselling 2026. Candidates who successfully registered for the counselling process should now log in to the official counselling portal to check the status of their online certificate verification, as this is a crucial step before the publication of the merit rank list.

While the registration window concluded on June 30, 2026, some applicants whose uploaded documents were found to be incomplete or unclear have been asked to re-upload their certificates for verification. Candidates are advised to regularly monitor their login dashboard and complete any pending action without delay to avoid complications during the counselling process.

Registration Process Concludes

The online registration for TN MBA/MCA Admissions 2026 has now ended. Following the closure of registrations, the admissions authority has begun the online verification of documents uploaded by candidates.

Applicants must visit the official counselling portal and log in using their registered credentials to check whether their certificates have been verified successfully or if any further action is required.

The verification of certificates is mandatory before candidates become eligible for the subsequent stages of counselling.

Check Your Certificate Verification Status

After logging into the official portal, candidates will find one of the following three status messages regarding their uploaded documents.

1. Incomplete / Upload Not Completed

This status indicates that the document upload process has not been completed successfully.

Candidates should immediately:

  • Scan all required certificates.

  • Upload the missing or corrected documents.

  • Freeze the uploaded documents.

  • Log out after completing the process.

Failure to complete the upload may affect eligibility for counselling.

2. In Progress

If the portal displays "In Progress", it means the uploaded certificates are currently under verification by the admissions authority.

In this case:

  • No immediate action is required from the candidate.

  • Applicants should continue checking the portal periodically until the verification is completed.

3. Completed Successfully

Candidates whose status reads "Completed Successfully" have successfully cleared the certificate verification stage.

This means:

  • All uploaded documents have been verified.

  • The candidate is eligible to proceed to the next stages of the counselling process.

  • No additional action is required unless notified by the admissions authority.
