Admission to AKTU-affiliated colleges is now based on JEE Main ranks instead of the UPSEE exam. Students can list preferred colleges and participate in a counseling program to secure admission. Faculty are highly qualified, often holding Ph.D. degrees, with a student-to-faculty ratio reported between 1:20 and 1:50. While approachable and supportive, some faculty are critiqued for focusing on the syllabus over practical knowledge. Fees for the 4-year B.Tech program range from Rs. 3 to Rs. 4 lakhs, with annual tuition around Rs. 1.2 to Rs. 1.3 lakhs.
Direct admission costs approximately Rs. 1 lakh per year, while counseling admissions are around Rs. 90,000. Scholarships can cover up to 80% of fees, based on merit, caste, and financial need, with additional national and state scholarships available. The placement program is highly effective, with 90% to 95% of students securing jobs annually. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google offer top packages up to 52 LPA, while average packages range from 4 to 8 LPA.
Internships are a key part, with about 80% of students securing positions at major firms. Placement eligibility begins in the 6th or 7th semester, with strong support from the placement cell. Despite variability across departments, particularly in CSE and electronics, placements remain favorable. The college also aids in securing education loans, maintaining a transparent fee structure without hidden charges. Overall, the program offers a robust educational and placement environment, though improvements in teaching methods and faculty engagement are desired.
