CMR Engineering College

I'm aiming for CMR's B.Tech, and admissions work like this: 70% of the seats are filled through rank-based TS EAMCET counseling—so good performance in PCM and EAMCET is key. The other 30% are management seats where you still need either an EAMCET rank or at least 50% in PCM—no freebies there. If you're a Diploma student, you've got the TS? ECET route into second year. So yep, it's a straightforward mix of entrance and merit.”

I'm staying in the girls' hostel at CMR, which costs INR 69 k per year. The rooms are non-AC, but they are furnished, and they come with full backup, including hot water, purified water, a steady power supply, and good security. Mess is extra, so our total comes to around INR 1 Lacs once you add food. I've heard boys pay INR 72 k for hostels off-campus in Kompally, plus mess. Overall, the hostel is decent and safe, but the total annual cost, including food, ends up closer to INR 1 lakh.
