Fees and Financial Aid:

The overall course fees is ?100000... It will be paid as partially in each semester... For first semester I paid a fees of ?32000 which includes admission fees of ?7000... Then for now in second semester I paid a fees of ?17000... So in next semester I might be required to pay a fees of ?30000 and in last semester it would be ?20000. The overall fees of ?100000 includes all the tuition fees, book fees, etc... I think exam fees alone we need to pay seperately which costs of ?1700 to ?2500... For all my batchmates in that college but in different departments of MBA is same ?100000... Only for other courses the fees may be different or less... The college provides scholarship to the students where they'll provide ?5000 for each semester...

Most accurate review on Rgcet

Fees amount per year for B. Tech courses id 70,000/- per year (35k for each semester). It includes all the fees like lab fees, development fees, tution fees etc. If you get admission through CENTAC then you will get a scholarship of 25,000/- per year. Management students should pay the full fees. All the branches will pay the same fees amount.

Forcing students to do their lab courses

There will be 95000 fees as per year of study. hostel fees will be 80000 and for day scholars there will be bus fees of 30000.In between of semester there will be semester exam fee of Rs 2000. They also provide scholer ship for certain students whose parents income comes under their criteria. there is also special scholarship for reserved castes. If they are willing to apply for the scholarship their community certificate and some certain certificates are important. May be fees structure will increase in future accordingly to management as it is autonomous college. Cultural and pongal celebration events are celebrated grandly as inviting popular guests for the celebration. Students are allowed to use idea lab which is approved by AICTE. The lab is useful for electrical and electronics students as well as ece students for their project purpose as they can use it for free. College will also provide certification courses with minimal amount collection from students. As it has good lab facilities too for each department. Software labs are always with full chilled condition. Faculty are good enough in teaching process and helping minded. placement training are provided for students from 6th semester by department staff. Almost most of the students will be placed.
