Understanding the Fees for PSG College of Technology under NRI/Management Quota
As of my last update in August 2023, the fees for PSG College of Technology under the NRI/Management quota can vary significantly depending on the specific program and the year. Generally for courses like Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), the tuition fees for NRI/Management quota students can range from approximately INR 2 to 5 lakhs per year. However, it's crucial to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the fee structure for the academic year you are interested in.
To get detailed and accurate information on fees, including any additional costs such as hostel fees, examination fees, and other charges that may apply, I recommend contacting the college's admission office directly or visiting their official website. They will provide you with the most up-to-date information and personalized details specific to your situation.
Admission Routes and Board Cut-off Marks
In PSG TECH, merit admission is possible only through TNEA counselling, which is conducted by the State Board. For Non-State Board students—such as those who have completed their board exams with CBSE or IB—it is only possible through management quotas. Additionally, Non-State Board students who do not get admission through TNEA counselling can also apply for management quotas.
The management quota has a base mark for all boards. As of the last few years, the base mark for the State Board was around 170, while for CBSE it was approximately 70. The exact base mark for CBSE can vary from year to year, and it is advisable to check the current year's cut-off marks. If you score above the base mark, you are eligible for a seat—regardless of your specific marks. Therefore, a student with 94.4 in CBSE would be eligible for a management seat.
Recent Fee Structure and Admission Trends
Based on past data, the cost for EEE, CSE, and ECE courses under the management quota ranged from 16 lakhs to 20 lakhs over the last few years. The fees for IT or Auto departments were typically around 12 lakhs, while Mech engineering courses cost significantly higher, around 20 lakhs. It appears that the prices for these programs have possibly increased this year, although the exact amount and details are not yet confirmed.
The management seats for ECE tend to fill up quickly, indicating a high demand for these courses. Hence, it is advisable to act promptly if you are interested in securing a seat in these programs. Moreover, there has been an option to slide from one department to another if seats become available, especially within the first three months after joining the college. For example, a CSE management student could potentially transition to ECE if a seat becomes available.
It's important to note that board marks do not directly affect the price for a management seat; however, they may influence your overall chances of securing a seat. Those with influence or connections may also get preferences, which can further impact the competitive landscape.
