Additional charges include a Rs. 2,000 exam fee per semester and Rs. 5,000 for uniform and bag.

Admission through Management Quota requires higher fees. Scholarships based on entrance exam ranks and government schemes are available, with the SVMCM scholarship offering Rs. 60,000 yearly to West Bengal students. Placement rates for B.Tech students often exceed 80-90%, particularly in CSE, with companies like TCS, Infosys, and Microsoft recruiting.
