Admission:

I have passed my BE with 78%. But it is not enough to get admission to this college. So I applied for the TANSET exam which is a Tamilnadu-based entrance exam for master's degree in engineering. I got 29 marks as my cut-off in that exam out of 50. So I got a chance to get admission to this college for a structural engineering course. I only need to apply for this college so I haven't tried for other colleges. And i belong to MBC so that is also an added advantage for me. I don't have any suggestions for this college other than a fee. Because im from a poor family I requested for fee discount even im an R.C. Christian and the correspondent was aslo catholic he didn't consider my request and treated my widow's parents very badly. Otherwise everything is good.

Admission:

I got admission in 2005. At that time the admission was through entrance examination. I opted for counseling conducted by tamilnadu government. I chose Electronics and communication branch. This was the best college in kanyakumari district and hence I choose this college. The admission was done through counseling and hence after receiving the appointment letter from the counseling center, it was given to the college. 50% of the seats were filled through management quota for which you can go directly to the college and make admission.
