Is Anna University's counselling different for CBSE and matriculating students?

No, the counselling procedure is the same for both CBSE and matriculating students. You will be counseled in the batches as per your cut off.

For State Board students Cut off= (math/2) + (phy/4)+(chem/4) For CBSE students Cut off= (math) +(phy/2)+(chem/2) Apart from this CBSE students get normalisation as it’s difficult to get such high cut offs. Under this, usually 5 marks are added to your cutoff.

No, the maximum duration to complete your degree in Anna University is 7 years.

What Students Say?

Anna University is a great place for engineers and research scholars to enhance their curriculum to great heights.
It was a great experience with the desalination operation and discharge of water in Chennai city.
Good. Many of the students are getting placements, even though we were studying in an evening college. My friend got a job at Ford Motors.
In our college campus, interviews are organized by the best companies like TCS, TITAN, and so on.
Campus life is extraordinary. I came from a village and stayed in the hostel for studies. The labs are excellent, and the faculty also helped me a lot. The workshops are also good and clean, with embedded and robotics equipment available.
I stay in a PG. Its a very good place in terms of locality. The food is very good there. They provide good room facilities and services for the students who stay there. Its a familiar environment to purchase a lot.
According to the NIRF 2019 ranking, it is ranked as the 9th best college in India.

Dislike

There will be lots of IT companies rather than core companies, and even food-based companies are fewer when compared to other departments.
Hostels are pretty good for the money we paid, but the mess food is terrible. We cant even eat the food they make. I give the food a rating of zero
