I get inspire fellowship and have applied for some internships at Annamalai University.
There is no campus job fair held at our university so we don't get good resources of jobs.
Alumini is good. Infrastructure is very good but the level of education is not so good.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
3.5
Hostel college facility is not so good at Annamalai University. A moderate facility is provided with a room available for two students. But the space inside rooms is not enough for two students.
Yearly Rs. 55,000 is hostel fee with free wifi facility.
But the food available is completely typical south Indian which is a little bit difficult for the out state students to manage with.
Out side the hostel PGs are available and even single rooms and apartments are also available.
Even a 2bhk flat costs around Rs. 4,000 pm. So It is batter to stay outside the hostel.
Food available in college canteen is fairly good in point of view of south Indian food.
Food is cheaper and it cost Rs. 20 per meal.
Quality of classrooms and infrastructure is very good and excellent but there is a lack of maintenance due to which the paints on the builds is faded and even some rooftops are in a very bad situation.
Yearly maintenance is highly demanded here.
The college has every thing but everything is old-fashioned and not maintained properly.
Entrance Exams and Admissions
The eligibility criteria to join Annamalai University was that the applicant should be a graduate.
There was no entrance examination.
I applied for the form online then after filling the application was sent to the university along with required documents. After two months the selection list was published and I was intimated to admission via a phone call.
The typical cutoff was about 55% for instate students and 70% for outstate.
Academics and Faculty
2.5
Class timing is too hectic at Annamalai University. From morning 9 am to 5 pm.
We attend classes and there is one hour lunch break.
Seminars are held weekly once.
The project work is there that is compulsory in the fourth semester.
Exams are subjective knowledge oriented and don't emphasize on entrance oriented numeric questions.
The quality of teaching is below than average.
Some professors are highly qualified but most of the others are not so good to explain the concept.
The Tamil language is widely used in lectures though outer state students are also in classes.
Overall experience is more than average in all sectors but except in teaching quality.
Fees and Scholarships
2.5
Rs. 13,000 per year is the course fee at Annamalai University.
The scholarships available to students from the government.
30% of students get a scholarship and based on the ST/ SC quota.
No, I don't think that bank loans are needed because course fee is quite affordable.
Clubs and Associations
3
There are no such clubs or societies but there is a student union present at Annamalai University.
No special festival is celebrated here only some specific government festivals are celebrated. Like science day, the Annual function is also conducted once a year but in very old fashioned manner.
The good thing here is that the seminars and workshops conferences are frequently organized in this college by various departments.
The overall life is just good. But not that much what we expect from NAAC A university.
