Admission to this college involves a two-stage Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) process, comprising the JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. Success in JEE Advanced is crucial for securing seats in IITs, determined through a 7-stage seat allocation based on rank and seat availability. Faculty members are highly qualified, mostly with Ph.D. degrees, and are committed to delivering the course content effectively and on schedule. The tuition fee stands at 1 lakh INR per semester, with total semester fees around 1.1 lakh INR, excluding mess and hostel charges.
Fee waivers for tuition are available for students from lower-income families, with full tuition waivers for those with annual family income below 1 lakh INR. During the 2023-24 placement season, 1350+ job offers were extended to 1270+ students, with the highest package exceeding 1 crore INR, and an average package of about 17 lakhs per annum. BTech students participate in placements during their 7th semester, while Dual Degree students do so in their 9th semester.
Placement opportunities are strong, particularly for BTech students, although some opt for higher studies or civil service careers instead. Internship opportunities are also available, with stipends varying significantly depending on the role and company, from over 3 lakhs per month for quant roles to 1.5-2 lakhs per month for software and consulting roles. The institute collaborates with banks to provide interest-free loans and offers nearly 50-60 scholarships, primarily for financially needy students.
