100% govt college, "college" rather an a "school" , very good alumni network

Starting from 2021-2022, the institute is renamed to Goverment Engineering College (GEC, Erode) The old name: IRTT Good thing is it is now a 100% government college - meaning lesser fees and more opportunities. 65% of seats are filled through TNEA counselling. 35% of seats are reserved for wards of TNSTC employees

I did BE Computer Science Engineering. The total intake is 60 students per year. Most of the faculty are 20+years of experience and thus they bring in rich knowledge. The institute is affiliated with Anna University and exams are moderate to easy.

On-campus & off-campus placements are being arranged with reputed companies. Please refer to the irtt website for more details. Placement training is offered. The huge advantage is the alumni network - which is more of a family. The students can leverage the network to learn and grow (in terms of career options).

So far, the fees had been equivalent to other private (self-financing) colleges. Right from 2021-2022, since it is converted to a goverment college, the college fees is expected to be < 10,000 INR per year. Most of the students stay in hostel. Mess fess is based on total expenditure/total students. So, it is very nominal.

Excellent library. Department-specific symposiums & tech fests are being conducted. It is more of an engineering "college" than an engineering "school". Infrastructure needs some improvement when compared to other posh private colleges, but that is of minimal impact when compared to the advantages we have.
