Is Kongu Engineering College the best for EEE, and what are the placement companies?

Yes, Kongu Engineering College is best for EEE, and faculties are well stuffed to mentor throughout Engineering. Most probably on the core side, you will be getting an opportunity for some good companies like Robert Bosch, Vedanta resources, Soliton solutions, and some small scale companies. On the other hand, you will get opportunities from IT firms like Accenture, Zoho, Wipro, Infosys, Harman, Cognizant, etc. But keep in mind that if you are dreaming of joining a core company then you have to be very much strong in your EEE subjects both theoretically and practically. One of my friends is an alumnus of Kongu Engineering College. In my friend’s batch, only 5 students got placed in core companies out of 100+ eligible students. Others including him got placed in the IT sector.

Why KEC is the best college to study enginnering

Student Snaps:

The fees structure is 125000 per year. Students who score top 3 cgpa every year in every department will be provided with some scholarship amount. Also the college has very good placement opportunities. Unfortunately, I didn't get placed which is my mistake and I won't blame the management for that.
