The admission for the B.tech courses here will be given according to the entrance test as well as based on our academic performance of 12th. We must have either cleared JEE mains or advance to get seat in B.Tech. Indian Institute of Technology Madras admissions are actually difficult to get because they choose to give seat to students very keenly.

This institution offers multiple specialisations in UG & PG courses. Fees structure for all courses varies depending on the specialisations and is feasible. I completed my B.Tech in mechanical engineering from this college with the total expenditure of INR 3,17,224. For getting admission in graduation it is mandatory that candidate must have completed 10+2 with mandatory subjects of physics and maths from a recognised board. Most importantly the admissions are on the basis of entrance examination JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, GATE, JAM or HSEE. Candidate must have secure valid score with respect to the cut off marks in order to get admission. Cut off marks for mechanical engineering was 1304 when I appeared for entrance exam.
