What is the cutoff and fee structure through TNEA at Kongu Engineering College? My cutoff is 175.

Answered 3 months ago

From what I’ve seen, Kongu Engineering College's TNEA cutoff for CSE, IT, and ECE usually stays above 180–190, so with 175 it’s tough for those. But you can still get branches like Mechanical, Civil or EEE. The fees come to around INR 55 K – INR 60 k per year, and hostel charges are extra.
