There is nothing called a good CGPA. CHPA depends on what you are willing to do afterwards.
For a job: As far as placements are concerned, anything above 7 or 7.5 will fetch you a decent job. 8+ will get you even better jobs in flagship companies.

How long does it take to get my transcripts if I apply online at Anna University?
It takes a month, mostly to get your transcripts. Even though the Online Transcripts methods of Anna University have been in place for more than a year, they still refer to it as a Pilot process that just officially started. The process takes between 15 and 30 days, depending on the importance assigned by the authorities. So, always be cautious and apply at least three months in advance so that you can remain calm.
However, courier fees are quite high. India Post accepts international shipments and is less expensive than DHL and FedEx. It is preferable to visit the Controller of Examinations' office rather than apply online. However, this method is best suited for outstation students, particularly those from Tamil Nadu or any Southern states.
Which is better: Anna University or SSN?
One of my relatives happened to choose SSN. She has visited the campuses of both the colleges namely, Anna University and SSN. She told me that SSN was way ahead of AU in many aspects. Some amazing features of SSN are:
-
Amazing infrastructure with top notch Wi-Fi facilities
-
Diverse crowd which helps you get more exposure
-
SSN does not force its students to attend classes
-
SSN emphasises on the overall development of its students and fulfilling their dreams
-
Good hostel facilities
My relative completed her M.E. from SSN and went to CEG to pursue PhD. She regrets this decision a lot. She had listed so many shortcomings of CEG. Some of them have been listed below.
-
Lack of proper sanitation facilities
-
No emphasis on extracurricular activities or club activities
-
Lack of transport facilities
So SSN focuses more on quality rather than quantity.
