Admission to the college is based on the Karnataka CET exam, requiring a rank under 30,000 in physics, mathematics, and science. The faculty consists of both permanent and contract members, with senior students often serving as effective contract faculty. The permanent faculty are experienced and supportive, though sometimes demanding with projects. The curriculum includes continuous internal evaluation and semester-end exams, each out of 50 marks, using a credit-based system. College fees are approximately Rs 2,000, with additional government fees.
In 2014, fees totaled Rs 18,000, possibly rising to Rs 36,000, with an exam fee of around Rs 500 per semester, summing to about Rs 40,000. Placement training starts from the first year with TCS, yet lacks a dedicated placement facility. Students attend external placement drives, yielding over 100 offers with monthly packages between Rs 15,000 and Rs 35,000. Around 60% of students secure placements, notably in electronics and mechanical branches, with annual packages around Rs 12 lakh.
Internships are inconsistently available, though some students intern at companies like Siemens and SAP. Placement activities have declined due to economic conditions and limited promotion. The government provides an annual scholarship of Rs 17,900, reducing tuition by about Rs 15,000, leaving students to pay Rs 2,900. Low-income students may receive full scholarships, reducing college fees to Rs 1,000-Rs 2,000. The total fee is Rs 45,000, payable in installments, with scholarships covering 60-70% of fees. First-year fees for 2021 are Rs 33,680 plus Rs 1,680 exam fees, and for 2022, Rs 38,000.
Hostel fees are Rs 2,580 annually, with monthly mess bills. Various scholarships are offered, including the Karnataka Government State Scholarship, Siemens Scholarship, and Vidya Siri. SNQ quota and scholarships depend on income, with a fixed amount of Rs 18,000 for those earning below Rs 4 LPA.
