Friction between Anna University and the department of higher education has led to the university deciding to have a separate entrance exam for the PG courses it conducts on its own campuses.
Candidates for ME, MTech, MArch, MPlan, MBA or MCA at university departments, its constituent colleges and regional campuses will now need to clear the Anna University Common Entrance Test (AUCET) 2019. Till last year, the university used to conduct Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (TANCET) and candidates were admitted to PG courses based on their scores in TANCET and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).
“Students who wish to join the affiliated private engineering colleges and government engineering colleges have to appear for TANCET 2019,” said a university official.
As per the new system, Anna University will conduct the entrance for MCA and MBA on June 22. The syllabus for the test is likely to be similar to that of GATE. The registration of application would be exclusively online.
For ME, MTech, MArch and MPlan the test will be held on June 23. Registration of applications start on May 6 and the last date for registration is May 25. Due to the differences of opinion over reconstitution of Tamil Nadu Engineering Committee (TNEA), Anna University vice chancellor M K Surappa had resigned from the committee. Now, DOTE will conduct the online engineering counselling for UG admissions.
“Following the reconstitution of TNEA, the committee for Tamil Nadu Common Admission (TANCA) also changed and Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) commissioner was made the co-chairman of the committee,” said a source in the University.
PMK founder Ramadoss, meanwhile, has condemned the announcement of separate exam for university departments and constituent colleges by saying it would lead to confusion.
He has called for the removal of Surappa as VC.
Anna University Teacher’s Association (AUTA), however, has expressed full confidence in Surappa. In a statement on Monday, AUTA said, “The appointment was made by the governor of Tamil Nadu and politicians shall not undermine such a prestigious position.”
