Overview
About Annamalai University
Annamalai University is an university in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, established in 1929. Annamalai University offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are Faculty of Arts: M.B.A. (PG) and B.Pharm. / B.Pharm. (Lateral Entry). Annamalai University is listed by UGC as a State (Public) University at Annamalainagar, Tamil Nadu, with establishment year 1929 (list dated 17.01.2024), and is included under UGC Section 12(B) as of 26.09.2022. A 2025-26 MCA regulation confirms semester-based study and 75% minimum attendance for that programme; it should not be generalized to every programme without programme-specific regulations. The university's research and development directorate is active, with current research projects and UGC, RUSA, PURSE, MYAS, DST-FIST and UGC-SAP grant programmes. The official address uses Annamalainagar, the university town near Chidambaram. Official pages report different department totals (49 on the current homepage/about presentation and 53 in the 2022-23 AQAR), so both year-labelled figures are retained. The 2026-27 admission notices are present on the official website. The university's own degrees are self-awarded; professional-programme approvals and counselling routes are programme-specific.
