No, for getting Anna University, you have to be a domicile of Tamil Nadu or your parents. If you are not a domicile of Tamil Nadu, you must have done your +2 from Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu doesn't have any state entrance exam admission is given on the basis of +2 marks.

Hello Mari,
Even though your query is correct, in present circumstance it has become irrelevant. Till last year, admissions were based on entrance exam. Hence, cutoffs of previous years were some indicators for admission to current year. But from this year onwards, procedure has been changed. Admissions will be held on basis of marks obtained in 12th. So, cutoffs based on entrance exam have no value.

Hello Samanta,
The admission into Anna University is based on your board exam marks only and there are no separate entrance exams for that. However, you need to enroll for a counseling process though which you can get a seat. For students from other states, there will be a separate admission portal.
