Anna University, Chennai
Hello there,
Between Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT Vellore) and Anna University (Chennai main campus) , Anna University is generally considered better in overall aspects like:
Academics : Anna University has a strong curriculum and is highly respected, especially for engineering.
Certificate Value : A degree from Anna University is more recognized in government jobs, PSUs, and higher studies abroad.
Fees : Anna University charges much lower fees compared to VIT, which is a private university with higher fees.
Placements : Both have good placements, but top branches at Anna University usually get better offers in core companies.
Reputation : Anna University has an older and stronger reputation nationally and internationally.
If you get a seat at Anna University main campus, it is the better choice overall. VIT is also good but mainly for those looking for a private university experience and flexibility.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
Hello Mithun,
For admission to the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) program at Anna University Coimbatore Regional Campus under the 7.5% Government School Quota (commonly known as the 7.5% reservation), the cutoff marks are determined based on the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling process. Expected Cutoff Marks for 2025 (Based on Previous Trends)
General Category (OC): Approximately 111 marks .
Reserved Categories (BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA, ST): The cutoff marks may vary and are typically lower than the OC category.
Please note that these are approximate figures based on previous years' data and may vary annually depending on factors such as the number of applicants, seat availability, and overall performance in the qualifying examinations. Important Considerations
Eligibility: Candidates must have completed their higher secondary education (Class 12) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects.
Application Process: Candidates should apply through the official TNEA portal during the application period.
Document Verification: Ensure all necessary documents, including community certificates for reservation claims, are submitted and verified.
Counselling Rounds: Admission is based on merit, and the counselling process is conducted in multiple rounds.
For the most accurate and updated information, it is recommended to regularly check the official TNEA website or contact the Anna University Coimbatore Regional Campus admission office directly.
Alright, let's go through it carefully:
You have:
TANCET M.Tech (CSE) Percentile : 94 in CSE, 93 overall.
In Anna University (CEG Campus, MIT Campus) , CSE branches generally close around 95 to 98 percentile for Open/General category . So with 94 percentile , it is a little borderline — you might just miss CEG Campus CSE in open category, but MIT Campus or other Anna University regional campuses are still very much possible .
PSG Tech Coimbatore is even tougher — CSE closes around 96–98 percentile . It’s one of the top colleges, so your chance for direct CSE admission in PSG is slightly low at 94 percentile.
Anna University Affiliated Colleges (like ACTech, MIT, or regional Anna campuses): Good chance .
Other top private colleges like:
SSN College of Engineering (Chennai)
Kumaraguru College of Technology (Coimbatore)
Sri Sairam Engineering College
RMK Engineering College — You have very good chances here with 94 percentile.
PSG Tech : Difficult for CSE, but you might get allied branches like Software Engineering , Information Technology , etc., if you prefer.
Anna University main CEG campus CSE : Slightly difficult but apply — sometimes cutoff changes!
MIT Campus and Anna University affiliated colleges : Good chance .
PSG Tech for pure CSE: Hard , but try for related IT/Software branches if open.
Yes, with a cutoff mark of 150 and 7.5% reservation under the Backward Class (BC) category, you have a good chance of securing admission to the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) program at Anna University Regional Campus, Coimbatore .

Hii,
Deemed universities like SRM, Vels, or Sathyabama usually offer more modern, industry-relevant courses. They have better infrastructure, more exposure to internships, and often better placement assistance. If you're aiming for a career in marketing, business, or even entrepreneurship, deemed universities usually align better with those goals. The downside is that they come with higher fees, so your budget and family support matter too.
On the other hand, colleges affiliated with Anna University (though mostly engineering-focused) or those affiliated with the University of Madras for BBA/B.Com might offer strong academics and lower fees. These are good if you’re planning to go for higher studies later like an MBA or CA and want a strong academic foundation without spending too much in the UG stage.
you're interested in getting placed in reputed companies eventually, and if your family is comfortable with the fees, I’d suggest looking at a reputed deemed university that offers specializations in BBA or B.Com and has a good record in placements. SRM’s Ramapuram campus, which is near Porur, could be a strong fit for you—it has a business-oriented environment and lots of opportunities to grow.
The expected cut-off for B.E. courses in Anna University varies each year based on:
Your HSC (12th) marks , particularly in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics .
The community category (OC, BC, MBC, SC, ST).
The preferred branch (like CSE, ECE, Mechanical).
The college choice (main campus cut-offs are usually higher).
For top branches in CEG/Anna University Main Campus , cut-offs are often above 195/200 for general category.
Application starts : Usually in May–June , after Tamil Nadu HSC results.
You need to apply through the TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) portal.
Admission is counselling-based , not entrance-test-based.
