After completing 12th-grade exams, I attended Anna University counseling, where admissions were based on marks. I chose Karpagam College in Coimbatore for its strong Electronics and Communication Engineering program, impressive infrastructure, and proximity. The college boasts highly qualified faculty with industry experience and a favorable faculty-to-student ratio of 1:15 to 1:20, promoting personalized attention. The annual fee for students selected through counseling was Rs. 34,000, with an exam fee of Rs.
200 per paper, while others paid Rs. 40,000 annually and Rs. 300 per subject. The bus fee was Rs. 10,000. Placement rates range from 60-85%, with top IT companies like Infosys, TCS, and Wipro recruiting. The highest salary package reached Rs. 15 LPA, with averages between Rs. 3-6 LPA. Placement training starts in the first year, with internships available from the 6th semester, offering stipends of Rs. 5K-10K. Academic fees are around Rs. 1,50,000 per year, reduced by Rs. 25,000 each through counseling and a first graduate discount, totaling Rs. 1,00,000 annually.
Hostel fees are Rs. 75,000 per year, decreasing by Rs. 2,000 annually. The total cost for a B.E. degree is around Rs. 2.2 lakhs for four years, and Rs. 1.5 lakhs for lateral entry students for three years. Overall education costs range from Rs. 8 to Rs. 10 lakhs. Scholarships are merit-based (Rs. 25,000), government-aided, and supported by an alumni fund. Government quota students pay Rs. 90,000 with potential reductions for special reservations, while management quota students pay around Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
