An applicant from a village 500 km away chose P. A. College of Engineering and Technology in 2011 for its proximity to their hometown. The applicant pursued a Mechanical Engineering degree, admitted on merit. The college boasts highly qualified faculty, mostly with doctorates, who emphasize practical training and maintain a respectful and disciplined environment. The fee structure totals approximately Rs 50,000 for the first three years and Rs 70,000 for the final year, covering books, uniforms, tools, academics, exams, and facilities.
A separate fee is charged for placements. The college provides strong placement opportunities with high salaries in most departments, although mechanical engineering placements offer lower salaries despite recruitment from reputable companies like Nissan, Power Mechanical, and Avalon. Internships are not provided, but training begins in the third year to prepare students for placements, with active recruitment from IT and core companies. The college offers scholarships and financial aid for SC and ST students, providing approximately Rs 10,000 annually.
First-generation graduates receive Rs 20,000 annually, and students can access education loans from SBI, covering Rs 17,000 per year with a total of Rs 88,000 for the degree. Additionally, a Rs 20,000 scholarship is available from the Vijayalakshmi Charitable Trust. These financial aids significantly benefit students from rural and lower-middle-class backgrounds.
