Which ranks higher, VIT or Anna University Chennai?
First of all, don’t trust the official figures regarding rankings for colleges. They are misleading and are meant for advertisement purposes only. No good college needs to show itself at the top of the rankings.
Now comparing VIT and Anna University, Anna University is definitely better in the ranking than VIT. Its CEG branch is at another level and not on par with VIT at all. Some points that support this opinion are:
-
Student quality at Anna University is better than at VIT.
-
VIT is a private university therefore more expensive than AU
-
The curriculum is harder in AU than in VIT, but the assessments are direct and easy here.
-
Placement opportunities are better at AU because of the variety of companies that visit the campus in contrast to the mass IT recruits that happen in VIT.
All these points strongly favor my opinion. One thing to keep in mind here is that when I say Anna University is better I mean the main campuses (CEG, MIT, ACT) not the affiliated colleges.

Is the TNEA (Anna University, Tamil Nadu) paper easy to crack?
The simple answer to this question is yes, it is indeed quite easy to crack TNEA. This is because I know a friend who had not studied at all and started preparing just before the exam.

-
He studied exactly according to Blueprint
-
He learned the previously asked questions
-
He skipped all the difficult topics and focussed on mastering the simple ones instead
-
He learn the key points well as marks are allotted for key points mainly
-
All the one-word answers usually come from the back of the chapter so he studied them well.
-
Since there are no practical tests you get almost full marks in practicals at Anna University
So we can say cracking the exam is not that difficult but understanding the concepts is.

How much is a part-time M.Tech in Anna University worth?
Honestly speaking, a part-time M.Tech course is not of much worth. A course like M.Tech requires a practical approach. This won't be much possible at Anna University. So all you will be left behind is a title attached to your name. This course is also a waste of time and money as the fees of this course are quite high.
This course won't yield you any valuable results unless you are extremely passionate and a self-learner.
Can I transfer from Anna University affiliated college to SRM University?
Yes, you can transfer from Anna University affiliated college to SRM University. But the process in itself is very hectic. You will have to go through it once or seek help from someone who has already transferred.
You can transfer only during odd semesters. The university does not allow transfer during the even semesters. One of my sister's friends wanted to get transferred. So she applied for transfer during the 4th semester and got transferred in the 5th semester.
