Admission to Kingston Engineering College, affiliated with Anna University, is primarily through counseling based on cutoff marks, with direct admission involving donations. The process occurs in June and July. The college has 15 faculty members, mostly holding two degrees, but none possess industry experience. The teaching style is criticized for being note-based and lacking engagement. Fees include an academic fee of 60,000 rupees, variable bus fees, and a breakage fee of 500 rupees per semester, with payments only accepted in cash.
The hostel and canteen food quality is poor. Campus placements begin in the sixth semester, with companies like Infosys and Amazon participating. The average placement package is 3 LPA, peaking at 8 LPA, with 60-75% of students placed. Scholarships are offered based on religion, caste, and academic merit, with tuition fees waived for high scorers and varying costs for different categories. The overall four-year course costs 100,000 rupees per year under government quota guidelines, with limited additional financial assistance and a small percentage securing jobs through campus placements.
