Excel Lateral Entry BE Eligibility
You need 45% in your diploma if you are OC, or 40% if you are BC, MBC, SC or ST, under the TNLEA rule. The college's own page asks 55% for OC and 45% for others. Your marks are the average of all your diploma semesters. Every branch uses the same rule, and a B.Sc pass with the same marks also counts.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Qualifying course | A 10+3 diploma recognised by the state or central government, or a B.Sc |
| TNLEA marks | 45% for OC; 40% for BC, BCM, MBC, DNC, SC, SCA and ST |

Placement insights
ECE placed 97% of the students who sat and Mechanical 96%, while CSE placed only 51%, so a core branch is not the weaker bet here.
Most offers come from firms in Tamil Nadu, Bangalore and Kerala. Transenergy alone made 66 offers across the campus, and Lucas TVS made 23.
Most offers in the 2025-26 record pay INR 2 LPA to INR 3 LPA. Only a handful, such as Zoho at INR 7 LPA, pay more.
The NIRF median pay for BE and B.Tech graduates rose from INR 4.1 LPA in 2023 to INR 4.4 LPA in 2024 and INR 4.5 LPA in 2025.
The campus is on the Salem to Coimbatore highway, and plants in Hosur and Coimbatore, such as Ashok Leyland and CRI Pumps, hire from it.
Good to know
The share placed counts only students who signed up for placement: 533 of the 595 in these branches in 2025-26.
Lateral entry students join the BE batch in year 2 and sit for placement with it in the final year.
The NIRF figures count students who went on to higher studies apart: 19 BE and B.Tech graduates did so in 2025.
