FAQs

Common questions from EEE aspirants and parents.

What's the eligibility for EEE?

Pass in Class XII (or equivalent) with Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry — minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories). Admission via TNEA counselling or direct mode.

Is hostel accommodation available?

Yes — separate boys' and girls' hostel blocks on campus with warden supervision, mess, Wi-Fi, and security. Hostel fees billed separately from tuition.

What's the placement scenario for EEE?

150+ recruiters visit annually, with the highest CTC at 18 LPA and an average of 5.4 LPA. Dedicated placement training begins in the second year — aptitude, technical, mock interviews and resume building included.

Are scholarships available?

Yes — Tamil Nadu Govt scholarships for BC/MBC/SC/ST/Minority categories, Post-matric Central Govt scholarships, plus management merit scholarships for top scorers. Education loans tied up with major banks.

Can I do internships during the course?

Yes — internships are strongly encouraged from the third year. Many students complete summer internships at our partner companies, and the final-year project often involves industry collaboration.

What's the average class size?

We maintain a healthy student-to-faculty ratio (~20:1) to ensure individual attention. Labs are typically split into smaller batches for hands-on practice.
