Colleges in India

Alright, let's break it down without all the stiff brochure-speak. So, Sasi Institute of Tech? Their fees are kinda all over the place depending on what you wanna study. If you're eyeing B.Tech, it can be as “cheap” as 50k a year, but if you're gunning for something hot like CSE or AI, get ready to cough up closer to 1.5 Lacs per year. 

M.Tech? That's sitting at around 60k a year. MBA folks, you're looking at anything from 50k to 70k per year. And, if you're just dipping your toes in with a diploma, you could pay as little as 25k or as much as 75k a year—so yeah, kinda unpredictable.

If you're planning to survive four years of B.Tech, well, you'll need anywhere from ?2 Lacs to ?6 Lacs in total. So, yeah, maybe start buttering up those bank accounts (or your parents).

So, Sasi Institute of Technology & Engineering—people just call it SITE—is this private college out in Tadepalligudem, Andhra Pradesh. It's been around since 2002, which, I mean, isn't ancient but it's not brand new either. They're hooked up with JNTU Kakinada (that's their university connection, in case you're wondering) and yeah, all the official boxes are checked: AICTE approval, NAAC 'A' rating, NBA accreditation—pretty much all the badges you want to see. The place runs on its own dime, too, not some government cash flow, and it's run by the Sasi Educational Society. If you're looking for undergrad, postgrad, or even Diploma courses, they've got the whole buffet.

To be qualified for admission into the B.E./B.Tech course in Kathir College of Engineering (KCE), applicants should have passed 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Aspirants have two alternatives to seek admission to the B.E./B.Tech course: (1) through Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions counselling - admission will be on merit list as per 10+2 PCM marks and students will require Tamil Nadu nativity documents in case you have not studied Classes 8-12 in Tamil Nadu; and (2) through management quota where admission will be accepted directly as per 10+2 PCM marks without the need for the entrance examination. In both ways of admission, the applicants would still be required to submit an online KCE application form, apply online for  allocated counselling method or given seats, undergo document verification, and pay admission charges to secure their seat.

Candidates can get B.E./B.Tech admissions into the Kathir College of Engineering (KCE) either based on Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling or on the management quota. Candidate should have completed their 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics for both. The admission in TNEA is merit-based on their 12th marks and candidates requiring to provide nativity proof documentation if they have not studied in Tamil Nadu from class 8 to 12. In management quota, candidates must apply or fill in application directly to the college to be eligible for admission. After submission of their application with their 12th marks and without taking entrance exam, they will be selected based on 12th marks. Whether candidates are selected under TNEA counselling or management quota, after the rebuttal, students need to attend for document verification and pay the admission fee to confirm their seat.

B.E. / B.Tech is the most sought after course at Kathir College of Engineering (KCE) because of its industry oriented professional skills training, practical exposure and good placement opportunities in the branches of Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical and Civil Engineering. The college aims to provide much needed skill development through modern laboratories, workshops and industry collaboration. So, students can be job-ready. Many students choose this route for the reason that engineering is a popular career path, with a plethora of job options both domestically, within India and abroad, with KCE providing strong support with dedicated faculty plus infrastructure, therefore making B.E. / B.Tech courses attractive and valuable.

For candidates to seek admission in the B.E. / B.Tech programme, they are required to have passed 10+2 pattern with physics, chemistry and mathematics, as compulsory subjects, with overall minimum marks of 45% for general and 40% for reserved classification. Admission is based mainly through Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) counselling, which will rely on the students marks from the 12th standard, plus the nativity verification if they did not study their 8th to 12th education in Tamil Nadu. Candidates may opt to apply for the additional management quota basis their performance, but again do not separately orientate themselves with admissions tests.
