Alpha College of Engineering Courses and Fees 2026

Alpha College of Engineering BE Fees 2026

Five branches fall under the BE umbrella here: Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Cyber Security, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Robotics and Automation. All are 4-year programmes affiliated to Anna University, Chennai. Government quota seats (65% of intake) are filled through TNEA counselling. TNEA 2026 registration ran from May 3 to June 5, with the rank list published on July 1, 2026. The remaining 35% management quota seats are filled by the institution. Eligibility requires a 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

The fee is flat across all five branches. Branch choice does not change what a student pays. The contrast between general quota (INR 8.60 Lakhs) and govt quota (INR 2.20 Lakhs) is the sharpest variable in the entire BE fee picture, not the specialization chosen.

Alpha College of Engineering B.Tech Fees 2026

Three technology-forward B.Tech programmes run alongside the BE tracks: Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Information Technology, and Mechanical Engineering (Robotics). Same 4-year structure, same Anna University affiliation, same TNEA counselling route. At INR 8.60 Lakhs for general quota students, the cost is identical to BE. The B.Tech nomenclature reflects Anna University curriculum classifications for newer disciplines introduced in recent years.

B.Tech Branch-wise Fees 2026

Alpha College of Engineering Lateral Entry Fees 2026

Diploma holders can enter directly into the second year through the lateral entry route, with a 3-year programme from that point. Alpha College offers BE Lateral across five branches and B.Tech Lateral across three. One practical point: B.Tech Lateral at INR 4.20 Lakhs costs INR 90,000 more than BE Lateral at INR 3.30 Lakhs even though both are 3-year routes in closely related disciplines. Diploma holders weighing CSE (BE Lateral) against AI and Data Science (B.Tech Lateral) should keep this gap in mind.

Alpha College of Engineering Fees for Other Courses 2026

At INR 60,000 total for govt quota students, ME (CSE) works out to INR 30,000 per year for a postgraduate engineering degree from an Anna University-affiliated institution. The MBA govt quota fee of INR 41,000 for 2 years is the lowest-cost programme on the college roster.

Both ME and MBA admissions run through TANCET counselling. TANCET 2026 registration ran from March 16 to April 15, with the exam held on May 9 and results on May 22, 2026. Candidates planning for the next intake should track the upcoming TANCET cycle on the official portal at tancet.annauniv.edu.
