The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Information Technology at Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) admits students primarily through the Tamilnadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counseling. The eligibility requirement is the successful completion of 12th standard board exams. Applicants are selected based on their cutoff scores, generally requiring a minimum of 185+/200, with higher scores improving chances for admission. The college offers reservations for government school students and special categories. Admission can also occur through management quota, often necessitating a donation, particularly for students with lower cutoff scores or board percentages below 80%.

While no specific entrance exam is mandated, counseling and management quotas are the primary pathways. Direct admissions through management quota require payment, but counseling can minimize such costs. Important admission timelines, application forms, and fees are available on the college’s official website. Monthly internal exams are part of the academic process. The college is situated in Chennai and affiliated with Anna University. It is recognized for its infrastructure, proximity, and placement opportunities, making it a preferred choice for many students.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

I got seat at srm chennai but it was too long for me and it couldnt manage the travel because i should catch the bus at morning 6 am and i will return to home around 5 50pm. So nearly 12 hours. So rejected it and choose rec chennai because it is near to my location. I will catch the bus at 6 55 am and i will come to home at 4 15 pm. I wasnt applied to other clg so there is no rejection.Simple admission process just show ur orginal 12th certificate and cutoff marks.If your abive 80% cutoff u can pay minimum donation if doesnt enough for the course which u applied. Counselling is the better way to avoid donations and cutoffs may change for the caste.

Virtual visit of Rajalakshmi Engineering Colleges

I chose this college because it is in chennai and it is anna university affiliated colleges. Its is tier one college. Yes, this is because of gap between high class school but later they called me for admission but i was already admitted in this college.

Review about REC

Since i went through TNEA counselling, i had other options such as SRM, SSN,Saveetha but i did many researches about REC the review was good. Mainly placements were good so that is all we want.So i opted for REC.I also liked CIT college but i couldn't get admission there because my cut off was 187 in 12th std. In CIT for counselling you need atleast 190 cutoff then only you can get good department.So after CIT we can go with REC.

Navigating Rec

I chose this college over the other colleges because this college has a very good name and I beleived that they bring out skilled graduates. Also they train us in such a way that we get placed in the campus recruitment itself.
