TNSET 2026 cut off marks refer to the minimum qualifying marks candidates must achieve to be declared eligible. These cut offs are set category-wise and apply separately to both Paper 1 and Paper 2 of the exam.
The cut off marks ensure only candidates who demonstrate sufficient competence in teaching aptitude (Paper 1) and subject knowledge (Paper 2) qualify for Assistant Professor eligibility.
The combined total marks for both papers is 300 (Paper 1 = 100 marks, Paper 2 = 200 marks), and cut offs typically translate to around 120+ marks for general and slightly lower for reserved categories depending on exam difficulty and competition.
Official category-wise and subject-wise cut offs are released by Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board (TN TRB) along with the TNSET results. These vary annually based on factors like exam difficulty, number of candidates, and seat availability.
