Admission to the college is through the COMEDK and KCET entrance exams. The COMEDK covers the 12th-grade syllabus and is also for MBBS admissions. Admission depends on the exam rank, counseling, and document verification. For KCET, the process typically starts in May, with results and seat allocation following in the subsequent months. The college is favored for its location and offers courses like electronics and communication. The faculty is well-qualified, with many holding master's and some pursuing PhDs, although the teaching may not fully support non-Kannada speakers or lower academic proficiency students.
Classes usually have 60 students, focusing on in-depth comprehension. Fees vary considerably: EEE course fees for KCET entrants are about Rs. 80,000 annually, while general admission fees are Rs. 190,000 for the first year and Rs. 170,000 for subsequent years. COMEDK fees are 3-4 times higher, with management quota fees depending on the course. Despite higher fees, campus facilities are superior, and loan facilities are provided. Placements focus on IT companies, with opportunities from firms like Infosys, Wipro, and TCS.
Around 60-70% of students secure placements, with the highest package around 67 LPA. The placement process begins in the 7th semester, with eligibility starting post-6th semester. The college offers placement training and internships, emphasizing academic performance and practical knowledge. Some students pursue off-campus placements for better prospects. Scholarships are available through government and non-government schemes, with some students receiving up to Rs. 50,000 annually. The institution collaborates with Punjab National Bank for education loans, actively informing eligible students about scholarships, especially those from reserved categories scoring above 80% in pre-university exams.
However, on-campus placements are less favorable compared to off-campus options in Bangalore, where around 35,000 IT companies offer higher packages.
