Applications are invited for admission to M.Sc. (2 years) and M.Phil. Degree Programmes offered in the University Departments of Anna University Chennai, Chennai – 600 025 for the academic year 2010-2011.
M.Sc. (2 years)
- The Question paper will have objective type questions. Each question will be followed by four alternative answers.
- The Question Paper for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Media Science, Environmental Science and Economics will contain 100 questions each.
- The question paper in Economics will have three parts. Part- I will contain 40 Questions which is common to both Science and non-Science stream candidates. Part- 2 is on Advanced Mathematics and Statistics with 60 questions. Part 3 is General Economics with 60 questions. Candidates have to choose either Part 2 or Part 3 for answering. Part 1 carries 40 marks; Parts 2 & 3 each carry 60 marks. The performance level of candidates in Part 2 and Part 3 may differ. Hence the marks obtained by the candidates in Part 2 & 3 will be normalized using the following formula: Normalised marks = 30 + 6 [raw marks-m (mean)/s standard deviation)]. This mark will be added to the mark obtained in Part I and total will be considered as the mark obtained by the candidate out of 100.
While evaluating the Entrance Examination answers, 1 mark is awarded for each correct answer and 1/4 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. However, no deduction will be made for questions left unanswered. Multiple shading will be considered as wrong answer and 1/4 mark will be deducted.
