Annamalai University offers 18 programmes with 48 specialisations between them, across UG, PhD and Diploma level. This page lists what is on offer, what each one costs and how long it runs, so you can see the whole picture before you shortlist a course.

What Annamalai University offers, level by level

| UG | 16 | 1–54 years | ₹15,180–₹7.2 lakh | Undergraduate — the degree you take straight after class 12. Usually three or four years. |
| PhD | 1 | 6 years | — | Doctorate — a research degree taken after a master's. It runs for several years and is meant for people who want to do research or teach. |
| Diploma | 1 | 3 years | — | Diploma — a shorter, more practical course. Good if you want to start working sooner. |

One thing worth checking before you compare these against another college: fees here cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are usually separate, and they can add a lot over four years. Ask for the all-in figure.
Specialisations you can choose
Most programmes here run several specialisations — the branch you actually study. Bachelor of Science has the widest choice with 16, including Fashion Designing, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture, Discontinued ( June 2024) B.Sc. in Computer Science, Interior Designing, Discontinued(September,2024)-B.Sc. in Information Technology and Integrated M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology.
This matters more than the college's overall rank. Teaching quality, lab facilities and which companies recruit all vary between branches at the same college. Pick the branch first, then check whether this college is strong in it.
How to choose between these courses
- Start with the subject, not the college. A course you do not enjoy will be a long few years, whatever the campus is like.
- Check the entrance exam. Each programme has its own route in, and the exam decides your timeline for the whole year.
- Add up the real cost. Total fees plus hostel, mess and living expenses — then look at scholarships and education loans.
- Ask about branch-wise placements. College-wide figures hide big differences between branches.
About this list
These 18 programmes come from Annamalai University's own course record and are updated as it changes. A dash in the fee column means the college has not published that figure yet, not that the course is free. For anything that will decide your admission — eligibility, exact fees, seat numbers — confirm with the college before you apply.
