The review describes an experience at Nandha Engineering College, where the applicant was admitted through an interview process despite having a cut-off score below the college's requirement. They joined as a second-year student through direct counseling by Anna University, benefiting from an efficient admission process. The teaching quality is high, supported by experienced faculty who adapt to students' needs and emphasize practical knowledge. The college has transitioned to an autonomous status, maintaining good teaching standards.
The fee structure is reported to be higher than the government-allotted fee, with students paying 55,000 per year compared to 32,500. However, the fees are considered manageable compared to other institutions. Top students receive discounts, free transport, and stipends, making education more affordable. Placement opportunities are more abundant for Computer Science and IT students, with companies like Tech Mahindra and HCL offering packages around 3 lakh per year. Mechanical students have fewer opportunities but can find placements with companies such as Tennico, Ashok Leyland, and TVS Motor.
Eligibility for placements requires a CGPA above 7.5 with no arrears. Internships have become mandatory for final-year students, with some providing stipends. Scholarships are mainly awarded based on academic performance, offering additional support for financially struggling students, but the major departments are often excluded from these scholarships. The financial aid provided by the college management is limited. The total annual fee is around 1 lakh, which may pose a challenge for lower middle-class families, although bank loans are available, albeit not arranged by the college.
Despite its higher costs, the college is highly regarded in the city.
