Santhiram Engineering College Nandyal Kurnool B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to Santiram Engineering College is primarily through the EAMCET exam, with options for management quota seats for those not admitted via EAMCET. The college offers various programs, including B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, with an affordable fee structure supported by government subsidies. Regular students pay an annual fee of 16,000, EAMCET rank holders pay 20,000, and non-EAMCET rank holders pay 60,000. Additional fees include a JNTU fee of 3,000, a library fee of 4,000, and 800 per semester.

Transportation costs vary from 7,000 to 12,000 annually, depending on the student's location. Despite the feasible fee structure, there are concerns about delayed scholarship disbursements and increased fees affecting affordability. The faculty primarily focuses on syllabus completion, with limited additional coaching for competitive exams. This has contributed to a 70% failure rate in semester exams. Job placements are challenging, with few companies visiting for recruitment, offering stipends of 10k to 12k per month.

The average salary package for 156 selected students was 3.25 LPA, with a selection rate above 70%. Internships are available with Infosys and Virtusa, offering a stipend of 15k per month. The college provides a government scholarship of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 per student but does not offer its own scholarships or loans, leaving most students to cover their fees independently, sometimes through loans.
