CEG - A balance between academics and passion

Fees and Financial Aid:

I'm an NRI so I'm paying a fee higher than everyone else which is 7500 dollars i.e 6.3 L per year. The application fee was 44k inr. For general students, it's less than a lakh per year given it's a government university. A lot of students avail scholarship also, government school students get full ride scholarship with the TN govt scholarship program

Really informative and precise

I did not avail for any scholarship but then I know people who have availed some 5000 each month to deal with their expenses in college. This will be really helpful for people who are from a background of first graduates.
