Having been a topper in all my unit tests how should I prepare further for my anna university "first semester" exam to get a cgpa of 10?

Harshita Saravanan

14 Sept 21

Having mentioned that you are a topper in all the unit tests, getting a CGPA of more than 9 would be an easy task for you. Having 20 marks in all your internals would be even more beneficial.

To get a CGPA of 10 is possible, in your first year. Here are some things you should keep in mind for your preparation.

Utilize study holidays effectively – For the first semester examinations, the gap between them maybe a day or two. You have to complete the syllabus in the 10 to 15 days of study holidays. Make sure to revise every important portion the day before the exam.
Engineering Graphics – Practice more drawings and present the diagrams clearly and neatly. It is a 4 credit paper.
Engineering Mathematics – Do not just read the problems, work them out then and there. This will make you confident on the day of your exam.
Engineering Physics and Chemistry – The physics and chemistry papers are much easier compared to the class 12th syllabus. Study the textbook thoroughly. Understand the concepts. Present the answers with diagrams wherever necessary. Instead of writing long paragraphs, use points.
Technical English – Focus on the grammar first, Examiners tend to read that part fully while evaluating. So try getting full marks in that part which creates a good impression. That might help to get more marks in the forthcoming sections.

Presentation is one of the most important aspects. While writing use blue or black pens. Write answers in points and use Sub-headings. Try to keep your answer sheet neat and tidy and avoid unnecessary scribbling.

Which university is better for aerospace engineering - SRM, Anna, or Madras Institutes of Technology, or Hindustan University?

Siddant Gupta

19 Jul 22

Madras Institute of Technology is under Anna University. These two aren’t separate. If you want good job profiles with cushy salary packages, after completing your degree, MIT isn’t a good option. Not many core companies visit the campus drive for recruitment. Although placements in the non-core sector are good. MIT offers good academics and you can benefit from the institute if you are aiming to pursue higher studies. The course fee is nominal. The course costs around INR 1.58 lakhs.

SRM is a good option if infrastructure is your priority. Although the university fees are a little higher.

Is Anna University's counselling different for CBSE and matriculating students?

Gomathi Venkat

01 Dec 22

No, the counselling procedure is the same for both CBSE and matriculating students. You will be counseled in the batches as per your cut off. But the cutoff calculation procedure is different for CBSE and matriculating students.

For State Board students Cut off= (math/2) + (phy/4)+(chem/4)

For CBSE students Cut off= (math) +(phy/2)+(chem/2)

Apart from this CBSE students get normalisation as it’s difficult to get such high cut offs. Under this, usually 5 marks are added to your cutoff.

01 Dec 22

No, the maximum duration to complete your degree in Anna University is 7 years. This includes 4 years in college and 3 additional years for those who are unable to complete their degree within 4 years. But after 7 years you cannot complete your degree.

Before 2017, the students who would fail even after 7 years would get a grace period of 1 year. But this practice has been abolished according to the new regulations.
