** In 2012, a student with a 157 HSC cutoff joined Muthayammal Engineering College for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) through Anna University counselling. The college has a 1:20 student-to-faculty ratio, with some faculty noted for friendliness, but overall training is considered inadequate, and there are issues with lab facilities and discipline methods. The college is relatively affordable but imposes extra fees, with high hostel and bus charges. Students face class bans for delayed fee payments.
Placement support is strong, featuring companies like Wipro, Tata Consultancy, Infosys, Cognizant, and HCL. Placement training spans from the first to the final year, with eligibility requiring 80% in the seventh semester. Around 60-75% of students secure placements with salaries averaging between 2 to 4.5 LPA. Notably, there were issues with SPK Infotech in 2015-2016. Internships with stipends are available, and project support is provided. There are no direct loan facilities, but the college assists with bank loans and offers government scholarships, particularly for reserved categories and first-generation graduates, who get up to a 25,000 INR fee reduction.
Scholarships range from 5,000 to 10,000 INR, capped at 100,000 INR in total. The study cost is fixed from the first year with a 6-month term fee. Main departments charge 75,000 INR, while others are slightly cheaper. Admission fees are 10,000 INR, and exam fees are 450 INR per paper. Management seats are more expensive than general ones. Hostel facilities exist for both genders, and while the college attracts major companies for placements, job offers may be limited.
