About Anna University of Technology Madurai

Anna University of Technology, Madurai also known as Anna University - Regional office, Madurai (AUTMDU) as of 2012 is a technological university established in 2010 as a result of a decision to split Anna University into a number of universities for better administration. The university is an accredited university with powers to grant affiliations to colleges and universities conducting graduate and post graduate studies, as well as diploma courses, and is so recognized by the UGC. However, in September 14, 2011 a bill was passed to merge back the universities but as of February 2012, the separate universities are still operating despite certain controversies. AUTMDU has 36 affiliated institutes spread across the districts of Madurai, Sivagangai, Dindigul, Ramanathapuram and Theni. Besides three University Campuses located at Madurai, Ramanathapuram, Dindigul, there are two autonomous Government Institutions at Madurai and Karaikudi and a Central Electro Chemical Research Institute at Karaikudi.
