There are no entrance exams for admission, and the process can be completed in a single day through the Anna University’s online application system.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

In the admission process i applied only for government colleges like anna university chennai, gct coimbatore, gce salem, thiagaraja college madurai like that. Because i cant afford private college, among these government colleges gct coimbatore remains my first choice and got the admission in there. The main reason of choosing this college is affordable fee structure and good placement statistics. The admission process for government colleges are purely through Counselling process, there is no management quota. Based on our 12 th mark, a cutoff for 200 marks will be calculated. In this 100 marks from maths and 50 from physics and 50 from chemistry will be accounted. Then a rank list will be released based on this cutoff mark incl all applicants, it is called general rank list. There will be other rank list like community rank list where the rank will be grouped by community such as BC, MBC, SC/ST. Every college will release a seat matrix based upon their vacancy. Student have to fill a choice list based on their interest. And based on the rank, the software will check the vacancy for seats in the choice order and finally college is alloted. There will be three rounds of admission, After every round they will release the vacant seat matrix. There will be a gap of 1 week between rounds.

Since I'm north indian i didn't know much about the college. Now while I'm studying in it. It's very boring for me because there is no campus life maybe there is for Tamil people or who knows Tamil language but for me it's very boring. The college i applied for are better than this in terms of infrastructure mess food & maybe in campus life. I came here through special quota so for me admission process was a little hectic but if you directly took admission that's is very simple process
