Anna Institute of Management Admission 2025: Courses, Eligibility, Application Form, Last Date

Anna Institute of Management, functioning as Anna Administrative Staff College (AASC), admits candidates primarily through nominations for officer trainings and competitive entrance for UPSC coaching at AICSCC. For 2026, UPSC aspirants undergo a unified scholarship exam process, prioritizing Tamil Nadu residents with valid degrees.

• Nominations handle officer programs like foundation training.
• UPSC slots filled via merit from entrance scores.
• Trends indicate increasing integration with state schemes like Naan Mudhalvan for broader reach.

The process for UPSC coaching involves online registration for the Naan Mudhalvan exam, testing, scorecard release, and counseling for seat allocation in residential or part-time modes at AICSCC Chennai.

Step-by-step:

• Register online at admission.civilservicecoaching.com.
• Appear for the scholarship exam covering GS and CSAT topics.
• Await scorecard and provisional lists for counseling.
• Attend counseling with documents for final admission.

Officer programs follow departmental nominations directly to AASC, bypassing open applications.

Applications for 2026 UPSC coaching open via the dedicated portal, requiring personal details, educational proofs, and category certificates during registration.

• No application fee specified; process is free.
• Submit online before tentative June 2026 deadline.
• Download hall tickets post-registration.

Ensure all entries match official documents to avoid disqualification.

The Naan Mudhalvan UPSC Prelims Scholarship Exam acts as the entrance, held annually with questions on general studies and aptitude, mirroring UPSC Prelims format.

• Exam duration: 2-3 hours.
• Scorecard used for shortlisting and scholarships.
• Answer keys released post-exam for transparency.

Preparation tips include reviewing past UPSC papers, available on the AICSCC site.

Coaching is free, but residential candidates pay a Rs. 3,000 refundable caution deposit, while part-time requires Rs. 6,000 initial, with Rs. 3,000 refunded after appearing in UPSC Prelims 2026.

• Mains coaching includes Rs. 3,000 monthly stipend for three months.
• No fees for officer trainings if nominated.

These nominal amounts support maintenance without financial barriers.

Selection hinges on entrance exam marks, ranked per reservation categories, with counseling for preference allocation between residential, part-time, or affiliated centers like ACCSCA in Coimbatore/Madurai.

• Merit-based shortlisting.
• Interview for mock personality tests post-Mains.

This ensures fair, transparent picks.
