Anna University To Shut Down 10 Courses
Anna University has planned to close at least 10 courses in 13 constituent colleges due to consistent low enrolment numbers. “A team was formed to identify the courses which hardly have any takers in the constituent colleges. Instead of operating the courses for only a handful of students, it has been decided to close them down to save resources,” told R Velraj.
Anna University Includes Transgender Option in Registration Forms
Anna University has recently made an addition regarding the transgender option in the application forms. This was done for the change of photographs in certificates. The move was taken when a candidate wished to prefer the transgender option instead of the male or female options in the registration forms.
