Hi Sunil,

As much information as is available, there is no restriction on other states' residents to appear for the TANCET Exam (M.E/M.Tech). The exam will be conducted on 19th and 20th May this year. However, the eligibility conditions for non-Tamil Nadu domicile candidates will be decided by the admitting authority/admissions. 

The application form for TANCET will be made available from the first week of April and even candidates who have qualified GATE XE or XL will have to submit the application. 

For your reference and better understanding of the exam pattern and other necessary information, I advice you to grow through the following link by Careers360, very carefully.
