Extremely disappointed with Annamalai University. The communication is pathetic — no response to calls, emails are ignored, and there's absolutely no support system for students. It’s incredibly frustrating trying to get even basic information.Please don’t waste your money or time pursuing distance education from here. It’s completely unworthy of your investment. The university fails to provide the minimum standard of service expected from an educational institution

A place of higher education in the name of Annamalai Chettiar. A private university taken over by the Government of Tamilnadu A decade ago. Famous for it's courses on music, education, agricultural sciences, engineering and medical sciences. With the taken over by Government several changes are happening and the empowerment now focused on general education rather than specialized courses.
