Questions students ask

No. This is an independent, unofficial student guide. We collect information from official websites and brochures and explain it simply. Always confirm with the college before paying anything.

From each institution’s official website, official brochures and fee sheets, and government portals. Every campus page lists its sources with the date we checked them.

DS University (Perambalur and Trichy) gives its own degree. Affiliated colleges teach the course, but the degree is given by another university – for example Anna University (engineering), University of Madras or Bharathidasan University (arts & science), or the Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University (medical, nursing, pharmacy).

Similar names can confuse you. Check the affiliation on each college card.

Start with the course you want, then compare campuses that offer it on the course finder. Think about distance from home, hostel, and bus routes.

Through TNEA counselling for Anna University-affiliated colleges (use the college’s counselling code), or by applying directly to DS University for its own B.Tech. programmes. See the admission guide.

You need a NEET (UG) score. Seats are filled through Tamil Nadu medical counselling (government and management quota). See the Siruvachur medical college page.

10th and 12th mark sheets, TC, community certificate, Aadhaar, photos, and your TNEA/NEET allotment if any. Full list on the admission page.

Polytechnic diploma courses take students after 10th. Diploma holders can usually join the 2nd year of B.E./B.Tech. (lateral entry). Ask the college for this year’s rules.
