Dynamics of an anisotropic universe is studied inf(R,T)gravity using a rescaled functionalf(R,T), whereRis the Ricci Scalar andTis the trace of energy-momentum tensor. Three models have been constructed assuming a power law expansion of the universe. Physical features of the models are discussed. The model parameters are constrained from a dimensional analysis. It is found from the work that the anisotropic Bianchi typeVIh(BVIh) model in the modified gravity generally favours a quintessence phase when the parameterhis either-1or0. We may not get viable models in conformity with the present day observation forh=1.
