Truth about kongu engineering college

Students in different categories (e.g., SC/ST vs. management quota) may have a significant variance in their fees. For instance, management students pay a premium on development and lab fees compared to SC/ST candidates, who receive certain government-mandated concessions. Scholarships and Financial Aid 1. Merit-Cum-Need Scholarship: Rs. 1.5 lakh per year for students who excel academically and demonstrate financial need. 2. Donation-Based Seats: Students outside the counseling process may secure admission through a Rs. 2 lakh donation, typically applied to development or lab fees. The overall course fees are incrementally adjusted each year, keeping in line with inflation and resource development costs.
