- Innovation & Entrepreneurship Focus: The college doesn’t just focus on books; it has a strong ecosystem for startups through KGR Accelerator for Social Entrepreneurship (KASE) and the Center for Research Innovation & Development.
- Supportive Faculty & Mentorship: Professors are often described as friendly and approachable. The mentorship program, where each faculty member guides a small group of students (around 15), is a highlight for personal growth.
- Practical Learning (DTSD): A unique course called Design Thinking and Sustainable Development (DTSD) helps transform "paper engineers" into practical ones by focusing on real-life applications.
Dislikes
- Smart Infrastructure: The classrooms are digitally enabled with projectors and high-speed Wi-Fi, fostering a modern learning experience
- Expertise vs. Experience:many are highly knowledgeable and supportive, but a few lack teaching skills or are in their own learning stages.
Course Curriculum Overview
Chose This Course because it is Autonomous. I got in cse(AI&ML) . So I'm so happy and parents too and more over The inclusion of Design Thinking as a core subject was a big factor. It’s rare for engineering colleges to teach "how to think" and "how to solve social problems" starting from the first year.
Internships Opportunities
Internships & Projects Review Internship opportunities at KGRCET are decent, with around 85–90% of students participating. Training starts in the 3rd year, and the college has MOUs with companies like Biz Brand Solutions, ADP, and local manufacturing firms. Stipends usually range from ?10,000 per month to certificate-only for core branches. The focus is on Project-Based Learning. For example, CSE students work on AI/ML projects like Smart Chatbots, while Civil students gain site experience in structural detailing using REVIT. The main outcome is gaining industry-ready skills that often lead to full-time placements with packages averaging ?4.5 LPA.
Placement Experience
I chose KGRCET for its Autonomous curriculum and K-Hub innovation culture. The green, 14-acre campus is beautiful and perfect for studying.Placements are solid, with companies like TCS and Cognizant offering averages of ?4.5 LPA and highs up to ?16 LPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
My Category: OBC Admission Type: TS EAMCET convenor QUOTA Fee Breakdown: The total fee for my B.Tech in [Your Branch, e.g., CSE] is approximately ?4.06 Lakhs for the four-year duration. Tuition Fees: I pay ?1,00,000 per year as the base tuition fee. One-time Charges: During admission, there was an additional Admission & Registration fee of about ?2,000 to ?5,000. Category-based (SC/ST/BC): Many of my batchmates from the SC/ST categories receive Full Fee Reimbursement from the Telangana government, meaning they only pay for the university exam fees and basic registration. BC/EBC Students: They generally get a partial reimbursement of around ?35,000, so they end up paying the remaining balance of the ?1 Lakh out of pocket.
Campus Life
The college stays vibrant with two main fests: Pramana (Annual Cultural Fest) and Ikarus/Invicta (Technical Fest), usually held between February and April. Student life is driven by active clubs like the Google Developer Student Club, Rotaract, and the Science Squad, which are great for networking. For sports, there are solid grounds for cricket, basketball, and volleyball, though indoor facilities are smaller
Admission
applied to a few colleges like VJIT and JBIET, but I chose KGRCET primarily because of its Autonomous curriculum and the K-Hub startup culture. The admission process was straightforward through TS EAMCET counselling. I got in with a rank.The college staff made the document verification and fee reimbursement (TS-PASS) process very easy. My advice to juniors: if you want a college that focuses more on projects than just theory, this is a great pick in the 30k-60k rank range.
Faculty
The best faculty for me is Rajendra Prasad(HOD&maths) the way of teaching was really good, clear and concise. Exams:Two Mid-Term Exams,One Semester-End Examination Initial Pass Rate: On average, about 75% to 80% of students clear all subjects in their first attempt.
Night Life
Favorite Spots: basketball, vollyball and i love hanging out at the Amphitheatre and the lush green lawns near the botanical garden. The Canteen is the social hub for quick bites. Unwinding: Most students unwind through Student Club activities or sports. Every Thursday, the HSD (Holistic Student Development) hours allow students to step away from technical subjects and engage in hobbies or social work.
