Fluid Mechanics Anna University

I am interested in the Fluid Mechanics field and for that I want to join the Anna University for doing my Fluid Mechanics engineering degree. Please tell me the process how can I get the admission in this University for BE Fluid Mechanics course? Also provide me the syllabus of this course?

Hello sir ! I am a student of Anna university, can you please provide me fluid mechanics exam syllabus?
