Colleges in Tirunelveli

Students are financially supported through several schemes which enter into the structures of the scholarships available at different levels, such as merit, communities (e.g. OBC, SC, minority etc.) and government-sponsored ones like the First Graduate Scholarship. However, the college does not provide a blanket 100% scholarship. Moreover, there are provisions of these financial aids through educational loans.

Some caste-based scholarships (BC, MBC, SC) that are also given to assistance to students from financially challenged family are also available to students in the college. But it should be noted that, the scholarship schemes generally provide only partial fee coverage and sometimes should be earned through good academic performance and eligibility restrictions.

It is possible to secure a seat in the B.E. / B.Tech programs in PET Engineering College without attending the TNEA counselling session but under the management quota. While TNEA is the most recognised channel of admission where one has to pass their 12th-class examination and qualify, the college reserves some seats under management quota where TNEA need not be attended.

However, even for the management quota, you may be required to satisfy the requirements of the course on offer (like having completed your 12th standard with qualifying marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). Further, some of the institutions may have separate entrance tests or interviews for those who want to avail management quota which is not the case with every institution.
