Remarks

In my college, you should be a resident of tamilnadu and should have passed 12th standard or completed diploma. Tnea counseling is the only way to gain admission in our college. Only students of j&k are allowed outside tamilnadu. For tnea counseling 500 application fees and after your 12th results are declared you can register for tnea or whenever tnea announces date.

Course Curriculum Overview

I like mechanical engineering and i choose this college mainly because it is one of the lowest fee college in India. Roughly per year a day scholar will pay less than 5 k and for hostel monthly 2k mess bill extra. Hostel is 2k at the start of the year. Staffs are neither too less nor excess. For mechanical 1:40 is the student faculty ratio. Our college has very low intake. Our faculties are the top qualified staffs in the state. Only top rank in trb exam can land a job here. Term exams are easy.. without just regular revises and class notes you can top your whole class

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 5000 per year

From 7th sem you are eligible for placements Several companies visit our campus as our college is one of the top college in the state.companies like Titan,lnt tcs cognizant, tafe , sobha construction, Siemens , Wipro, Zoho , Robert Bosch all visit our campus. Highest package is around 13lpa. Average of 5lpa is placed 60%percent are placed.everyone can get placed easily here. Higher studies

Fees and Financial Aid

Cost of the study is pretty low. At beginning you need to pay 5k. Then yearly fee is around 6k. Then hostel fee and exam fee add upto another 6k. Excluding mess fee 12-15 k per year. Mess fee additional 2k per month. Even for this there are several scholarship

Overall Good Experience at EEC

Likes

good infrastructure, clean campus and well equipped classrooms and labs.
Faculty members are supportive and explain concepts clearly with practical examples.
Good placement opportunities, career guidance and opportunities to participate in activities.

Dislikes

The workload can be huge sometimes, especially during examinations and project submissions.
some subjects could include more practical and industry-oriented learning
More campus activities and student interactions opportunities would improve campus life.

Placement Experience:

Students can join job drives from the 7th term. Many firms visit the campus for jobs and offer roles in tech and other fields. The pay varies by firm and role. EEC has a good job rate and gives help for job prep. After my degree, I plan to work in the tech field and grow my skills.

This is the best college overall

Likes

The curriculum provided is really nice and understandable.
It is relevant and is effective as well.
The boy girl ratio is on the other hand a little less as in 45:15.

Dislikes

The way some facilities behave with students is really bad especially in our branch.
Some facilities are too rude and they often don’t want to listen to students point of view

Placement Experience:

Students are open to campus placements from 2nd year onwards. There are many companies who visit such as Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Amazon, NatWest, Nokia, etc. Highest package offered is 42 lpa and lowest is maybe 2-4lpa. Around 90% of students get placed here. My plans is to get a job through campus recruitment. Currently I got an internship through campus recruitment in Cognizant so the recruitment is quite nice here.
