Anna University is a public state university located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The main campus is in Guindy. It was originally established on 4 September 1978 and is named after C.N.Annadurai, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.[3]

## History and structure

Anna University (Chennai) comprises four colleges - the principal seat College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG, Guindy Campus), Alagappa College of Technology (ACT, Guindy Campus), Madras Institute of Technology (MIT, Chromepet Campus) and School of Architecture and Planning (SAP, Guindy Campus).

The first version of Anna University was formed in 1978 and various governments changed the varsity's structure and affiliation scope repeatedly. In 2001, under the Anna University Amendment Act of 2001, the erstwhile Anna University became an affiliating university, taking under its wings all the engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. This included six government engineering colleges, three government-aided private institutions, and 426 self-financed colleges. On 1 February 2007, as a result of a Government of Tamil Nadu decision, the university was split into six constituent universities: Anna University, Chennai; Anna University of Technology, Chennai; Anna University of Technology, Tiruchirappalli; Anna University of Technology, Coimbatore; Anna University of Technology Tirunelveli and Anna University of Technology, Madurai.[4] The institutes were formally created in 2010. On 14 September 2011 during period of Ex CM Jayalalitha, a bill was passed to re-merge the universities.[5] The merger was finalized in August 2012.[6]

In 2011 and 2012 the constituents colleges were merged back to a single affiliating university and the four regional universities continue to function as a regional campus of the university.

## Admissions

[edit]

A common entrance test – the Tamil Nadu Professional Courses Entrance Examination (TNPCEE) – was used as a basis for admission to professional courses in the state until 2006.[7] Starting in the academic year 2007–08, students were admitted to engineering colleges on the basis of their higher secondary marks.[8] Post-graduate admission process is carried out through TANCET and GATE scores.[9]

## Academics

[edit]

The university offers courses in engineering and technology through its affiliated colleges and follows a dual semester system. Every year the university conducts examinations for the even semester in May–June and for an odd semester in November–December.[10][11][12]

## Controversies

[edit]

On December 25, 2024, a second-year female engineering student at Anna University was sexually assaulted by two men inside the campus.[23] The incident took place in the early hours of the morning after the survivor and her male friend returned from a Christmas mass at a nearby church. The two students were sitting in a secluded area of the campus when the assailants attacked the male student and then proceeded to sexually assault the woman.[24] The survivor immediately filed a police complaint, and a case was registered under Section 64 of the BNSS (rape). Police investigations included reviewing CCTV footage and questioning the survivors to determine the identities of the perpetrators. The incident sparked widespread outrage, with political leaders, including Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami and TVK leader Vijay, calling for the immediate arrest of the accused and criticizing the state government for failing to ensure women's safety. The attack has raised concerns about the safety and security of students on the campus, leading to calls for better security measures from both students and faculty.[25]
