A view on KEC

The fee structure of the college is dependent on their entry, if the student is the first graduate they can able to apply scholarship. The hostel fees are common for all of the students. The college also provides many scholarships for the students. campus placement is much better.

Life of KEC

The fee structure was the same for all courses. All the faculty members of all departments are friendly to us and help us during all our difficulty situations. In college, the staff itself helps to get scholarships to all students. so it is not a problem.

A excellent college with good faculty

There are many scholarships in our college. For girl's Pragati scholarship is there, they provide 50000 per year as a scholarship. The fee structure is a little high but the quality of education is very good. And the structure of the building is good.
