Guide updated for Academic year 2019-20 (May 2020 Exams)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW STUDENTS (MAY 2020) : Annamalai's NAAC 'A' accreditation is expiring in Dec 2019. UGC has changed the criteria for universities offering distance education to receive 'A' and it affects few universities including annamalai. There is a civil case pending in court regarding the same. I spoke to someone at annamalai. They said they have already applied for renewal of NAAC. Either way, DDE is valid till academic session 19-20 as per court order. So there is no issue taking admission for may 2020 exams.
