Admission to this college is based on JEE Mains scores and 12th standard marks. For ranks between 300,000 to 400,000, admission to the Information Technology (IT) branch can be obtained through direct counseling. The Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seats fill quickly, making IT a common second choice. The faculty is generally qualified, with some experienced in industrial fields, though there is a disparity in teaching expertise. Mechanical and civil engineering are strong departments.

The college's placement program is robust, attracting multinational companies like Microsoft, Infosys, and Amazon, with an average package of 2.5 to 5 LPA and the highest at 24 LPA. Placement rates vary, with IT and CSE reporting 100% placement last year. The semester fee for day scholars is around Rs. 35,000, and for hostlers, it's Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 45,000. The first semester costs Rs. 68,000, and the second semester is Rs.

28,000. There are no exam fees, but reappears cost Rs. 1,500 each. Scholarships and quotas can significantly reduce fees, with options available for rural students, academic achievers, and financially disadvantaged students. SC students study for free, while other scholarships include Pragati, Shaksham, and those funded by alumni. The overall fee for six semesters is approximately Rs. 50,000, which can be reduced to Rs. 40,000 for eligible students.
