Admission to Kingston Engineering College is through Anna University counseling, based on board exam cut-off marks. Applicants choose their college and branch during counseling in Chennai. The college is known for its good reputation and discipline, with faculty offering practical teaching methods, although some rely heavily on prepared notes. Fees differ by admission type: counseling students pay Rs 50,000, with a discount for first-generation graduates. Other students pay Rs 70,000, while management quota students initially pay Rs 100,000, now reduced to Rs 50,000, similar to counseling students.
An additional Rs 20,000 is for infrastructure development. Mess fees and book materials are extra. The college provides placements with companies like TCS, Wipro, and HCL, though not all students secure top positions. Placement training is available for final-year students. Internships are mostly self-arranged, but a 3-month period is facilitated with limited company options. Scholarships are available based on caste: MBC and OBC students receive Rs 4,000, SC students get Rs 7,000, and military-based students are eligible too.
Students need to apply each year for these scholarships. The annual tuition is Rs 1.3 lakhs, with a Rs 60,000 deduction for counseling students and an additional Rs 25,000 for first-generation graduates, reducing fees to around Rs 67,000 to Rs 70,000 with all applicable scholarships. Loan facilities are not offered.
