Admission to the B.Tech program in Electronics and Communication involves an entrance exam followed by counseling, where candidates can select up to five colleges. Seat allocation depends on a merit list from the entrance exam. The faculty comprises mainly Ph.D. holders, known for their effective teaching methods, under the guidance of a helpful department head. The curriculum includes about 40 subjects over four years, with laboratory facilities for practical learning.
College fees total approximately Rs. 5-6 lakhs, considered high, and include semester-wise payments and caution money. Placement results are mixed, with a high reported placement rate of 90%, though other sources cite 30% to 60%. Notable recruiters include Adobe India, Infosys, TCS, American Express, and Amazon, with packages ranging from Rs. 3 to Rs. 8 lakhs for Electrical Engineering roles. The highest package was around Rs. 1.13 crore, and the average was Rs. 5.10 lakh.
Mechanical placements are strong, while Computer Science placements are moderate. The college provides a job and internship portal, with opportunities at Indian Railways and BEL, but lacks industrial visits for Electronics and Communication students, requiring some to find internships independently. Scholarships, such as the Samaj Kalyan, are available, with 70% of applicants receiving them. Government scholarships range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000 annually. Annual tuition is between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 63,000, plus about Rs. 8,000 in exam fees.
Fees can vary based on admission type, with lower fees for counseling admissions. Despite fee hikes, payments remain based on the original admission fee, and top UPTU exam performers may qualify for free admission. On-campus job stipends average around Rs. 20,000. Hostel fees are reasonable, with good facilities.
