Entrance Preview

No entrance exam for Engineering in Tamil Nadu. I had a cut-off of 182. So in my mind I had other top colleges in mind other than these, But I'm in Open category so seats in other colleges are over.

Internships Opportunities

As per Anna University syllabus there is no need for Internship. You cant expect a internship in any of the other colleges because it is a waste of money for them.But in Rajalakshmi Engg College you can expect atleast one industrial visit once in a semester.

Placement Experience

Placements are really good. But it is up to you utilize the opportunity.The main advantage of this college is after the end of 6th semester exams the end semester leaves and Saturdays and Sundays of 7th semester will be utilized for placement training. Some might fell it is interesting and some might fell frustrating because of training held on Saturdays and Sundays. But in the end everyone will accept that this training has helped them to prepare and get placed in campus interview. The main drawback of this training is they are mainly focused on TCS.

Fees and Financial Aid

If you are college topper/University topper you can avail no semester fee/some prize amount for next semester. Apart from that you can also avail government scholarship if you are from SC/ST.College will provide their support as much as possible for taking education loan.

My college review

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate the curriculum 4/5. It is relevant and fairly comprehensive, covering core concepts, practical sessions, projects, and industry-oriented topics. However, more hands-on training and updated industry technologies could make it even better.

Overall Good

Placement Experience:

In our University from the starting of Seventh semester we are eligible for campus placements. Campanies like Jubilant food works, Zifo Technologies, Amura Heath Pvt.Ltd, Biocon etc. were some of the companies that visited our campus. Around fifty students got offers from these companies. About 70 percentage of the students got placements successfully. I am planning to pursue a master degree abroad

Many clubs available from Toastmasters to Campus Life, Our club Toastmasters is one of the peak highlights of our college. We regularly go to corporates to attend meetings of their clubs and network a lot.
Love the Research setup of our college. Has more than 15 COEs present. ABB research centre is the best among them
The bring in a lot of industry professionals every.One or the other event always keeps happening.

Dislikes

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

Placement Experience:

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.

A Good College Experience with Opportunities for Learning and Growth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is fairly relevant and comprehensive, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. It provides a good foundation for technical knowledge, but including more industry-oriented projects, hands-on training, and updated technologies would make it even better for future career opportunities.

I got seat at srm chennai but it was too long for me and it couldnt manage the travel because i should catch the bus at morning 6 am and i will return to home around 5 50pm. So nearly 12 hours.

I wasnt applied to other clg so there is no rejection.Simple admission process just show ur orginal 12th certificate and cutoff marks.If your abive 80% cutoff u can pay minimum donation if doesnt enough for the course which u applied. Counselling is the better way to avoid donations and cutoffs may change for the caste....Read More
