About Internship

Fees and Financial Aid:

As for me, I was selected from counselling. So i have to pay 1lakh every year for 4 years. Plus, I've been staying in hostel. Initially the hostel fees was 60,000. Then the next year they increased it by 10,000 for 70,000. And now in my last year, I've been paying 80,000 which is not worth for me. But the college fees stays the same. What I've heard is that, our college increased the fees structure for a certain amount for the next batches. Apart from counselling, management students pays an extra of 50,000 as college fees. There are various scholarships and financial aid facilities can be availed by the students. Like for example, one of my friends doesn't pay a single penny for the college as he studied in a government school. Plus, he avails a lot of scholarship amount either from college and from the outside. Community wise scholarships also provided, only if the candidate meets the eligibility criteria. Apart from college fees, they won't ask for any extra fees to be paid Compulsorily like some colleges ask amount for exams, practicals, or fine amounts. There ain't no such nonsense like that. For exam fee, they already covered from the college fees. So there is so such worry like that. Attendance percentage should be maintained over 80% or else there would be some consequences. For medical leave, we can claim medical certication for like 10% but have to pay ?1000 for that. Any broken things from lab that was done by yourself will be taken accounted by the management and you have to pay the fees of that product during no due, which will be cleared by the end of your course.

Review for KEC

First about college fees is 1.25 lakhs for counseling students and 1.5 lakhs for management students. The hostel fees is 80000. There will be no extra fees will be collected like exam fees, placement fees all is inclusive. The fees should be paid in a single payment. The placements are fairly good. The opportunity will be provided. The infrastructure is also good and ample opportunity for entrepreneurship also. The college provide scholarship amount of 25,000 to 17,500 per year for the top 5% students in each department. They also help in applying government scholarship like OBC/MBC scholarship, sc/st scholarship, pragati scholarship for women etc,. This is based on my experience from 2021 to 2025.

Good college for placement and sports persons.

My course fees are 42,500 per year as per government norms and my college fees are not hiked because I am selected via merit. My college provides good placement to all students. I am also selected in tech Mahindra and I am working as a data analyst with six months of experience.
