Courses are more valid and those courses are more useful for the professional work some unnecessary courses are ignored by the management whereas other colleges doesn't ignore

Since the course i have choosen is new... There is no proper teaching staff. So no proper coaching in new courses

Academic fee - 1,00,000 rs (management quota - 125000 rs, First graduate - 75000) Hostel fee both men and women - 80000 (90000 for our juniors this may vary*) Scholarships are available like BC/MBC, SC/ST..these kind of scholarships are available.Also some scholarship based on 12 th marks are also available.

Kongu Enginnering College - 2025 batch Experience

It will be like a school lik structure if you fail in a internal you will be having special classes

Basically the college fees will increase batch to batch when I joined the college and hostel fees and I am a first graduate student for a year it cost 1.5L now for the 2023 batch it costs 2L and it will be the same for the entire course for that particular batch. College provides scholarship also basically what the government offers like BC/MBC from state government and all the Central Government scholarship but you need not to be in Management Quoto and it also provides additional funds of top 5% in a department worth around 25K

I payed 400000 to the college for my admission and it the management department,so they said to pay 400000 for confirmation of the site. And did not apply for the scholarship ,so they did not provide the scholarship and they said to pay total amount for the site.For 1 year of college we should pay 125000 for college fees and I'm an hostel student and I should 80000 for the hostel, totally for 1 years my fees is 200000,And my course is best one and I have chosen it with my own interest.For management there is no fees from the college.
