Panimalar Engineering College BE Fees 2026-27
Every one of the nine BE branches at Panimalar Engineering College carries the same fee — no branch earns a premium over another. General quota is INR 5.68 Lakhs, Govt quota is INR 6.50 Lakhs, and Management quota is INR 6.98 Lakhs for the full 4-year program. The ordering here follows the expected pattern for Tamil Nadu private colleges: Management sits highest, General is the lowest full-program fee, and Govt falls between them. Admissions to General-quota seats go through TNEA counselling run by Anna University. Management-quota seats are filled through the college’s own process.
Lateral entry BE (3-year program for diploma holders) costs INR 4.26 Lakhs on the General quota, INR 3.48 Lakhs on the Management quota, and just INR 1.65 Lakhs on the Govt quota.
