The international hostels at Anna University are one of the best hostel facilities provided by a government university. The facilities here are like no other hostel. The hostels provide:
Air-conditioned rooms
Electrical appliances like a geyser, fridge, and microwave
The hostel also has industrial washing machines with dryers
All these amenities make international hostels in Anna University top notch. The only drawback is that now the administration has started accepting local students into international hostels just because they pay a lot of money.
There are two things you should be aware of: current arrears and arrears history. The current arrear is the one for which you have not yet cleared the paper at the time of placement. To put it simply, they are the unresolved papers you have in the seventh and eighth semesters, i.e. during the placement season.
The history of arrears is the one you cleared at the time of placement, but it will remain in your academic records. Every company has its own criteria for selecting candidates, but the majority of companies (say, 98%) will not hire a student who is currently in arrears. What's more, you wouldn't be able to attend even large IT companies.
So, to get to the point, having an arrear in the first semester will not affect your placements, but you should complete the paper by the sixth semester (for non-circuit branches) or the end of the second year (for circuit branches) as placements begin a little earlier, such as having internship opportunities in the third year in great companies such as Microsoft ( for CS and IT). If you are a mechanical engineer and have an arrear and clear it, you will be unable to attend some good companies such as Hyundai, Daimler(Benz), and others.
The MBA program at Anna University's Centre of Distance Education offers a wide range of specializations:
General Management
Technology Management
Marketing Management
Human Resource Management
Management of Health Services
Tourism Management
MBA professionals are in high demand in the banking and consulting sectors, with global behemoths such as the Royal Bank of Scotland, Citi Corporation, and Fidelity Investments recruiting on campus.
The highest-paying jobs after MBA in India typically pay between Rs 4,00,000 and Rs 32,00,000 per year, depending on the domain and specialization chosen by the candidate. During Anna University placements in 2022, the highest and average packages offered were INR 36.50 LPA and INR 6.93 LPA, respectively.
This question is extremely challenging to address. However, by examining a few statistics, you can determine which university is superior.
First and foremost, both of these institutions are Technical Universities for their respective states. If VTU is the Technical University of Karnataka, Anna is the Technical University of Tamil Nadu. This means that all engineering institutions in the state (colleges and not deemed or private universities) are affiliated with these Universities (with very few exceptions). In 1978, Anna University in Chennai was established as a separate university. Anna University was founded 44 years ago. VTU was founded in 1998 as a full-fledged technical university, and it is now 24 years old.
When it comes to student satisfaction at both of these universities, Anna University receives more positive feedback than VTU. In addition, in terms of university controversies and irregularities, VTU has had many problems, corruption, chaos, and friction in the last decade, whereas Anna University has been more peaceful, regular, and flawless in recent times. Anna University is the only technical university in India that has awarded the most PhDs, whereas VTU Ph.D. is a never-ending process due to the University's extreme irregularities. Anna University has some disadvantages, but it is slightly better than VTU.
First of all, don’t trust the official figures regarding rankings for colleges. They are misleading and are meant for advertisement purposes only. No good college needs to show itself at the top of the rankings.
Now comparing VIT and Anna University, Anna University is definitely better in the ranking than VIT. Its CEG branch is at another level and not on par with VIT at all. Some points that support this opinion are:
Student quality at Anna University is better than at VIT.
VIT is a private university therefore more expensive than AU
The curriculum is harder in AU than in VIT, but the assessments are direct and easy here.
Placement opportunities are better at AU because of the variety of companies that visit the campus in contrast to the mass IT recruits that happen in VIT.
All these points strongly favor my opinion. One thing to keep in mind here is that when I say Anna University is better I mean the main campuses (CEG, MIT, ACT) not the affiliated colleges.
In Anna University counseling, CBSE students are not given any special consideration. Officially, they claim that CBSE students' grades are moderated, but the process is as follows. They take into account the highest mark obtained by a student in that subject across India. Because it will be 100, if you get 85, your grade will not change.
The CBSE cut-off is calculated in such a way that,
((Mathematics marks) + ((Physics + Chemistry marks)/2))
As a result of the cut-off calculation, CBSE students are always at a significant disadvantage when competing with state board students. Even if a student achieves 95 in each of the three subjects, the cut-off is 190, which is low when compared to state board students.
The following are some of the other options:
SSN has its own meritorious management quota. If you are chosen, you will be subjected to a test and an interview.
Many other colleges, such as Loyola and Rajalakshmi, provide meritorious management seats that you can apply for.

One can never mug up the knowledge handed out like the students in high schools. The college will eventually guide you to stay on the right path.
