DAV Institute of Engineering and Technology Jalandhar B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to the college is primarily based on JEE-MAIN marks, with a simplified process requiring 12th class certificates and a JEE-MAIN scorecard, though the latter is not mandatory. The faculty is well-qualified, especially in the mechanical department, but the quality of learning often depends on student initiative. The annual fee is about 87,000 INR, divided into 50,000 INR for odd semesters and 35,000 INR for even semesters, with scholarships reducing fees to around 20,000 INR for students from weaker sections.

Hostel fees vary based on room choice, with both AC and non-AC options. Although the fee structure is deemed affordable, there are hidden costs. The college hosts 83 companies for placements, but around 50% focus on MBA students. The college claims a 100% placement promise for eligible students, but the actual rate is around 50-60%, with the highest package being 20.5 lakhs INR in 2016 for a CSE student. Placements are stronger in IT and CSE, while mechanical and civil engineering placement rates are lower, with average mechanical stipends at 18,000 INR per month.

General placement packages range from 5-7 lakhs INR annually, with 30-50% of students placed. Internships, particularly for CSE students, start from the second year, offering stipends between 10,000-25,000 INR, available with companies like Microsoft and the Indian army. Students become eligible for placements in the sixth semester. Financial aid, including scholarships and fee reductions, is available for students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, including SC and ST categories, and those excelling in sports or positively contributing to the college.

The fee structure operates on a semester basis, with tuition fees totaling around 6-7 lakh INR, excluding hostel costs.
