Anna University, Chennai
About College
The first version of Anna University was formed on 4th September 1978 as a unitary type of University. The original name used in 1978 was Perarignar Anna University of Technology (PAUT). However, various governments changed the varsity’s structure and affiliation scope repeatedly. In 1982 the current name of Anna University was adopted, removing the words “Perarignar” and “Technology”.
In December 2001, under the Anna University Amendment Act of 2001, the erstwhile Anna University became an affiliating university, taking under its wings well-known technical institutions in the city of Madras. Until February 2007, only the colleges situated in the districts of Chennai, Thiruvallur, Vellore, Kanchipuram, Thiruvannamalai and Vilupuram in Tamil Nadu have been affiliated to Anna University. On 1 February 2007, as a result of the decision of the Government of Tamil Nadu, 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. The institutes were formally created in 2010. On 14 September 2011, a bill was passed to re-merge the universities. The merger was finalized in August 2012. The University was formed by bringing together and integrating almost all the engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu under its fold. This included six government engineering colleges, three government-aided private institutions, and 426 self-financed colleges.
Anna University (Chennai) comprises of four colleges – The College of Engineering (CEG, Guindy Campus), The Alagappa College of Technology (ACT, Guindy Campus), The Madras Institute of Technology (MIT, Chromepet Campus) and The School of Architecture and Planning (SAP, Guindy Campus). In 2011 and 2012 the constituents were merged back to a single affiliating university and the four regional universities continue to function as a regional campus of the university.
