Admission to Jeppiaar Engineering College is largely based on 12th standard marks and counseling rankings, with specific quotas available for certain communities. High-scoring students generally secure admission through counseling, while others may opt for the management quota. The interview process, especially for the Mechanical Engineering program, focuses on the 12th-grade syllabus, emphasizing mathematics. The mechanical department is praised for its skilled and supportive faculty, who encourage project work and seminars, though lab assistants receive criticism for their teaching effectiveness.
The fee structure is on the higher side, with day scholars paying around Rs. 1,65,000 annually and hostel residents over Rs. 2,30,000, with no merit-based discounts for hostel fees. There are concerns about food quality and infrastructure maintenance. The college is noted for strong IT job placements, with companies like Infosys and TCS recruiting primarily from IT backgrounds. Around 30% of students secure placements, with starting salaries around Rs. 3 lakh, but mechanical engineering students face limited recruitment opportunities.
Internship opportunities are available, and students can participate in interviews during their 7th semester. Scholarships are provided, particularly for first graduates, and education loans are available through the on-campus Indian Bank. However, the loan approval process requires maintaining marks above 70%, and scholarships are not available for management students with government-employed parents. Occasionally, unexpected fees may arise mid-semester.
