On Question asked by student community
Hello,
Anna University does not offer a bsc n Astrophysics or other specialized undergraduate courses in Astrophysics. Their bsc programs are mainly in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
If you’re interested in Astrophysics, you can take bsc Physics at Anna University and then pursue a msc or research in Astrophysics.
For specialized Astrophysics courses, other Chennai colleges like University of Madras, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, or Chennai Mathematical Institute are better options.
Hope you understand.
Anna University Trichy is a good engineering college in Tamil Nadu. It offers many BTech and MTech courses. The teachers are experienced and helpful. The college has a nice campus and library. Placement is good in computer and IT branches. There are many clubs and events for students. Hostel and canteen are available for boys and girls. Fees are affordable compared to private colleges. The entrance is through TNEA counselling. Many students from Tamil Nadu and other states join every year.
Thank you, best regards from Careers360.
Keerthi, with a 664 OS rank and 196/200 score in Anna University B.Tech admissions, your chances of getting SEAG seat are fair but competitive.
Top branches in CEG or MIT may be difficult, but you may get core branches like EEE, Civil, or Mechanical in later rounds or in Tier-2 Anna-affiliated colleges.
Participate actively in all rounds of counselling for the best options.
In the past, the closing cutoff for CSE and ECE in CEG and MIT for the BC category has been around 198 and above While securing a seat in top branches at CEG and MIT with your current rank might be challenging, you have good potential to get into other branches or colleges within the Anna University system or other reputable institutions in Tamil Nadu.
you can explore other branches and potentially get a seat in later rounds or through management quota.
No, with a 98.83 percentile in PCM alone, you are unlikely to get a seat in Anna University under the other state quota unless your Class 12 board marks are near perfect.
