The KEAM 2017 entrance process involved spot admissions for remaining seats in courses like Electronics and Communication Engineering, while Computer Science and Civil Engineering required management seats due to unavailable merit positions. The college is praised for its supportive and skilled faculty, with a faculty-to-student ratio of 2 mentors for every 60 students. Programs offered include various engineering disciplines, a Diploma in Robotics, and an MCA. Students face three exams per semester, but the curriculum is largely theoretical, leading to a high pass-fail ratio.
Tuition fees differ by admission category, with merit seats costing around Rs 45,000, management seats Rs 75,000, and NRI seats Rs 110,000 annually. Placement opportunities start from the 5th or 7th semester, with 65-70 students placed in companies like Wipro, Infosys, and Amazon, earning an average of Rs 6 lakh per year. However, placement success rates vary. Internships are available through connections with firms like KELTRON, but placement training is deemed insufficient, prompting some students to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Scholarships such as Egrantz, Alumni, Cape, and SC/ST are available, but there is dissatisfaction with the management's focus on fees and poor communication about scholarships. Additional costs include special fees of Rs 6,500, hostel fees of Rs 4,000 per month, and bus fees up to Rs 20,000 per year. Students have access to financial assistance, including study loans.
