B.E. / B.Tech. Admission

To gain admission into a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) program at an engineering college affiliated with Anna University, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria. Below are the key requirements:

Educational Qualifications

Candidates must have successfully completed their Higher Secondary Course (10+2) or an equivalent examination. The qualifying subjects typically include Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Some engineering programs may have additional subject-specific requirements, so applicants should check the criteria for their chosen branch.

Minimum Marks Requirement

A minimum aggregate percentage is required in the qualifying examination, generally around 50% for general category candidates. Relaxations in the percentage criteria apply to students belonging to reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) as per government norms. Certain engineering branches may have different minimum marks requirements.

Counseling Process

Qualified candidates must register for the TNEA counseling process, where seats are allocated based on their rank and preference of colleges. Counseling plays a crucial role in determining admission to the desired institution and branch of engineering.

Age Limit

Anna University may specify an age limit for admissions, which usually applies to general category candidates. Applicants should verify the latest guidelines regarding age criteria before applying.

Reservation Criteria

The university follows government-mandated reservation policies for various categories, including Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). These reservations impact seat allotments and minimum eligibility criteria for candidates from reserved backgrounds.

Documents Required for Admission

Candidates must submit a set of essential documents during the application and admission process, including:

• Mark sheets of the qualifying examination (10th & 12th standard)
• Transfer Certificate (TC) from the last attended institution
• Community Certificate (for reserved category candidates)
• Aadhar Card or another valid identity proof
• Recent passport-sized photographs
