The Prime Minister's Special Scholarship Scheme supports students from Jammu and Kashmir, promoting regional peace by enabling access to higher education. Eligible students can apply through exams like the CET, with options such as Computer Science Engineering (CSE) being popular. At the reviewed college, the faculty is experienced, with many holding Ph.D. degrees and using practical teaching methods. However, some faculty members primarily use the local language, which can challenge students from other states.
As a government institution, the college offers affordable fees: 18,000 INR for KEA and approximately 5,500 INR for college fees, with reasonable hostel costs. There are no additional fees, though students must purchase stationery separately. The SNQ quota provides fee concessions, but the college itself does not offer direct scholarships or internships, requiring students to seek external opportunities or faculty assistance after the 6th semester. Placement prospects differ by department; Mechanical, IP, and Civil Engineering face limited opportunities due to fewer core companies visiting the campus.
Conversely, branches like Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Electronics and Instrumentation attract more IT companies, such as Xoriant, Subex, Hire Mee, DXC, and Qspiders. Additionally, students have participated in pool campus placements with companies like TCS and Infosys. Despite being a government college, placement opportunities are perceived to be lower than those at more reputed institutions. While the college does not offer its own scholarships, students can apply for the state government's e-pass scholarship, which covers half of the college fees annually.
Scholarships and loans are available for local students, but not for those from other states. A specific student mentioned a KEA fee deduction, reducing their annual college fee to Rs 5500.
