ANNA UNIVERSITY ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO JOINED IN 2010 AND EARLIER CAN WRITE EXAMS IN 2018

Anna University Engineering Students who joined in 2010 and earlier can write exams in 2018

Anna University has decided to give a one-time exemption from its earlier decision to disallow students who joined in 2010 and earlier from taking up arrear exams.

Previously, University announced the Notification mentioning that No more attempts will be provided for those who joined Engineering In the year 2010 & before. The reason given for implementing the norm was that conducting arrear examinations for a long period of time affected the regular academic schedule and curtailed vacation time for regular students. When the university released the timetable for the November/ December semester, it did not contain details of exams for students of those who had joined in 2010 and before. As requested by Students & their parents, they have revised the previous notification and extended the period. 

Minister for Higher Education K.P. Anbalagan said on 27th September 2017 that the government has granted an extension to the students on humanitarian grounds. “Students are generally given a maximum of seven years to finish their arrears and complete their degree. However, those who have exhausted this window will be permitted to write their examination for only two semesters — sometime around February 2018 and August 2018 — as a special case,” he said. 

Mr. Anbalagan further said that there were approximately around 40,000 students who had joined in 2010 and before who had to clear their arrears. “As no further chance will be given to students from the category, they should utilize this opportunity and take utmost care to clear all the subjects,” he added.
