Overview
Online management study with programme-specific fees
Anna University fees for online study should be checked against the named MBA, learner category and admission session. The Centre for Distance and Online Education offers online MBA programmes in Business Analytics and General Management. This page explains their published fees, entry requirements and learning arrangements.
Anna University fees for the online MBA
The published online fee schedule lists ₹25K per semester for Indian learners and ₹1K as the admission charge. Four semesters total ₹1L in semester fees at that listed rate. Application, examination and other applicable charges are additional.
The fee page shows a 2021 modification date, so obtain your admission session's invoice before paying. Read the instalment dates and included charges. This published schedule is not a newly confirmed quotation for every 2026 applicant. International learners have a separate schedule.
Anna University courses and fees: online and ODL routes
The online catalogue lists MBA Business Analytics and MBA General Management. Each programme normally takes two years across four semesters. The regulations allow a maximum of eight semesters, subject to applicable rules. Compare the two curricula before selecting a specialisation.
Anna University separately offers MBA, MCA and MSc Computer Science through open and distance learning. These programmes have their own admission, contact class and fee arrangements. Making an ODL payment online does not turn that programme into an online degree. Campus programme fees also require separate comparison.
Curriculum and learning commitments
Business Analytics combines management study with statistics, R, Python, data mining and analytics. Its later subjects include artificial intelligence and machine learning. General Management covers accounting, communication, finance, operations, entrepreneurship and strategy. Both published curricula carry 90 credits, including project work.
The university's delivery model uses digital tutorials, reading material, discussion forums and assessments through an LMS. Learning includes live interaction and guided project work. Plan regular study time alongside employment. The online regulations require participation in learning activities before end-semester assessment.
Eligibility, admission and recognition
The 2026 online admission notice requires a qualifying three-year or four-year bachelor's degree after the specified school education pathway. Candidates must also clear Anna University's Online Education Entrance Test, or OEET. Read the current notice for document requirements and applicable selection conditions.
The UGC's 2025-26 entitled online list names both MBA awards. The university also publishes an AICTE NOC covering the online MBA routes from 2023-24 to 2027-28. Match your award, mode and admission session with the relevant records.
Examinations, payment terms and career planning
The Controller of Examinations manages online MBA examinations. Check current registration, proctoring and technical instructions rather than relying on an earlier timetable. Review project submission and viva requirements with your programme team. Confirm the applicable academic calendar before arranging work commitments.
The published online fee page states that refunds are not entertained. Read the current admission terms and seek written clarification before paying. Request career support details for your specific online cohort. Regular campus placements do not establish outcomes for online or distance learners.
