About my second home

Bad toilets dogs in college high fees some faculties behaviour is very bad

I have paid more than 50000 as fee per year even though it is government college. It is not that affordable to pay these much fees. Now this college is autonomous and we are the first batch so it is bit difficult to follow the syllabus

The college is well equipped with all the lap requirements for the curriculum

As for Merit students there is an intial admission fee of 9000/- and from second sem onwards it is as low as 5-6k includong the tution and exam fee. So the total fee wil be less that 50000/-. There are 15% Management quitas. For them they have to pay an admission fee of 8-10lakh initially and then the normal fee structure as merit students. There are many scholorahips for the under previliaged and for the reservation category inckusing Egrantz and Premetrics.There is also no tution fee for OEC, SC, ST students. They are also exempted from the Exam fee upto 2 chances. The course is very affordable compared to Engineering in many other private colleges

Tkmce the college of diverse cultures and experiences

Exams are tightly packed in between fests and all .
Semester completion of 6 months is done in 2 or 4 months that gives less time to study

Tuition fee for a student under merit quota is 40000 On calculating of all the semesters and for a management seat it comes around 10 lakhs total fee including donation . Egrants scholarship is available for all obc and sc st students .each student has 4 offers to his/her own for placements And also it increases according to new companies that come each year

Tales of TKMCE

The fee structure is all taken by the government. It is a government-aided autonomous college by the government of Kerala. The main fee collected was the semester registration fee of about 200. Then by the end of the semester college will collect the exam fee through an online portal named Digipay. It will vary on the basis of semesters. It will be between 2500 to 4000 per student. The year-end college will collect Tuition fees which will also collected through Digipay it will be between 4000 to 5000 depending on the year of study. Totally about 10000 will collected in a year

Merit students should be paid for 10000 for annual and management students should be paid 75000 for annual and reservation students have fee concession for fee hike policy they have no pay direct payment for annual. E grants are the scholarship for reservation categories like sc/st students. And also post matric scholarship for all categories students. And also get stipend from in months. And it's helps to get job in campus.
