The delay in the release of the revised syllabi has put the principals of the non-autonomous affiliated colleges under Anna University in a fix. They say lesson plans, budget allocation and the assignment of faculty for subjects are on hold.
The university would release its new syllabi a year earlier to enable colleges to prepare. It introduced the new regulation in 2021 for the first-year students but not for those of the subsequent years.
The semester exams for the first-year students will end on July 30, and they will start the second year on August 22.
