NOTE: Anna University constituent colleges, CEG, MIT, ACT, and SAP, have only government-owned seats.

Students must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects in Class 12. The TNEA merit score is worked out as (Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics) / 600 x 200, so the final score is scaled to 200 marks. If students get the same score, Mathematics marks are checked first, followed by Chemistry and then Physics.
| Criteria | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Subjects Required | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (core) |
| Merit Basis | PCM score scaled to 200. No entrance exam is held. |
| Semester 1 Fee | INR 32,000. The next 7 semesters cost INR 15,200 each. |
Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
Seat allotment depends on TNEA rank and the choices filled by students on tneaonline.org. Tamil Nadu reservation applies to OC, BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA, and ST categories. NRI quota seats are handled through a separate TNEA NRI window at annauniv.edu.
CEG is among the oldest engineering colleges in Asia. Its CSE and ECE branches usually have the lowest TNEA closing ranks in Tamil Nadu. For open category seats in CEG CSE and ECE, students generally need merit scores of 190 to 200 out of 200.
Anna University conducts TANCET for MBA and ME/M.Tech admission. MBA seats at the Department of Management Studies, DMS, on the CEG campus are allotted by DTE Tamil Nadu through tn-mbamca.com. The counselling covers 15,000 MBA seats across Tamil Nadu.

It's an affiliated college. And its been there for years... So I thought it would be great to join there. And I've visited the place once or twice. So I loved it. And its beautiful. I'm lucky to be studying there
Read Full ReviewCollege is good based on the academics, teaching, providing training and discipline. But the college doesn’t provide as much exposure to students. as students, we struggle to open up and connect with industries and people outside the college. There are three ways to get admissions in my college, counselling, management and sports quota. I came through management, even though i was able to crack interviews and aptitude tests conducted in bigger colleges. The reason i joined this college was because my family members talked my parents into joining me in this college considering that this college is strict about discipline and dress code etc,.
