Students can also do up to two online courses in one semester against one course under current rules.
“Previously, the study break was only allowed on a medical basis,” said an official.
New changes are part of the university’s plan to provide uniformity in engineering education offered at affiliated colleges, autonomous colleges, and university departments.
While colleges affiliated following 80%: 20% weight system for final semester exams and internal tests, autonomous colleges and university departments follow 60%: 40% and 50%: 50%: 50% unity system.

The final semester exam will be carried out for 100 signs and scores will be converted to 60 signs.
Anna University Deputy Chancellor R Velaj said, “The University wants to bring uniformity among all engineering universities.
New regulations will provide more flexibility to students.” In accordance with the previous regulations, students must complete arrears in four attempts, if others may have to repeat the course in the fifth semester.
“The engineering college said students with arrears stopped the course and joined the university that was considered.
So, the regulation was dropped,” V-C said.

“All colleges are encouraged to start these clubs.
Students are encouraged to participate in one of these clubs as part of extracurricular activities,” the official added.
New regulations also introduce project work in the pre-final semester for engineering students.
However, some professors say the university needs to develop the right mechanism to monitor universities affiliated to see that they provide value in internal assessments based on impartial evaluation.
“If we apply the relative assessment to thousands of students in a subject, it will not make a lot of differences,” B Chidambarajan, the principal, SRM Valliamamai Engineering College, said.
