Have a question related to Anna University, Chennai ?

I am 160 cutoff can I get ECE in Coimbatore Anna University

With a TNEA cutoff score of 160, getting into the ECE program at Anna University's Coimbatore campus is unlikely. While the expected cutoff for ECE is around 180-190, 160 might be sufficient for other engineering fields like Mechanical Engineering (ME) with a cutoff of 160-170, or Civil Engineering with a cutoff of 150-160.

Vellore institute of technology, vellore or Anna university which college is best like in all aspects certificate, studies

Hii,

VIT Vellore is very good for modern teaching, great campus, placements, and global exposure. It is private and a bit costly. Anna University is a top government college, famous for strong academics, low fees, and high respect in India. For certificate value, both are good, but Anna University has a little more government weight. Choose VIT for modern style and placements, Anna for strong academics and value. Both are good, depends on your need.
