Anna University to offer 40 new-age specialisations for TN engineering students

Anna University is all set to offer 40 new-age specialisations to Tamil Nadu's engineering students from July 2022.

To make engineering students in Tamil Nadu ready for employment with proper industry knowledge, Anna University is all set to introduce a flexible curriculum from July 2022 that will allow engineering students to specialize in one of the 40 emerging areas.

These fields of specialization include robotics, electric vehicles, modern mobility systems, clean energy technologies, data sciences, space tech, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, internet of things and data analytics as mandatory subjects. The specialized subjects will be offered in the third and fourth semesters from 2022-23. 

Vice-chancellor R Velraj told TOI, "Engineering students are struggling to master broad disciplines. This move will enable them to develop their skill in one area and get jobs."

"Students can choose one emerging area within their stream to specialise. In fifth and sixth semesters, they will be allowed to study up to eight elective subjects according to their specialisation," he added.
