Have a question related to Anna University, Chennai ?

hello, I am very confused to select college in chennai what type of college should i select for my future ,whether deemed or colleges under anna university

Hii,

Deemed universities like SRM, Vels, or Sathyabama usually offer more modern, industry-relevant courses. They have better infrastructure, more exposure to internships, and often better placement assistance. If you're aiming for a career in marketing, business, or even entrepreneurship, deemed universities usually align better with those goals. The downside is that they come with higher fees, so your budget and family support matter too.

On the other hand, colleges affiliated with Anna University (though mostly engineering-focused) or those affiliated with the University of Madras for BBA/B.Com might offer strong academics and lower fees. These are good if you’re planning to go for higher studies later like an MBA or CA and want a strong academic foundation without spending too much in the UG stage.

you're interested in getting placed in reputed companies eventually, and if your family is comfortable with the fees, I’d suggest looking at a reputed deemed university that offers specializations in BBA or B.Com and has a good record in placements. SRM’s Ramapuram campus, which is near Porur, could be a strong fit for you—it has a business-oriented environment and lots of opportunities to grow.
