Placements & Internships : Having excelled in academics and other departments for the past 2 decades, SKCET is also known for its placements. Top brass companies like Amazon, Wipro, TCS, Robert Bosch, etc have come down to the campus to recruit students from various fields of engineering. However, for the core departments like Mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechatronics engineering, the companies visiting the campus are pretty less compared to that of IT / Product sector companies. The placement percentages are very good for non-core departments such as ECE, CSE and IT and the overall placement percentiles are also in par with top private universities around the region. For further more information regarding the companies visiting for placements, do refer the college website. The top recruiter has been Accenture with a minimum package of 4 LPA for the past few years. However, Amazon has recruited students for a package of up to 28 LPA. College is legitimate in providing you internships during the course of study. In fact, the college will appreciate your efforts of securing an internship on your own by awarding you attendance while you're out. However, the college does expect you to academically balance your life so that your results don't dip during the internship period. 

Entrance Exams & Admissions : Getting into SKCET is just moreover a straight forward process ie via TNEA. TNEA Counselling is an annual engineering college counselling session happening at various Anna universities around Tamil Nadu. Students are required to have a good cut-off mark to get admission to their desired university. The TNEA cutoff is calculated by using the formula C= Maths + ((Physics+Chemistry)/2). Using this formula, the ranks are allotted based on the highest cutoff percentile and are called for counselling. SKCET is one of the most top-rated colleges under TNEA and it does require a cut-off over 190 to secure admission in this college. However, there are also cut-offs for various caste-based quotas for which you can refer to the TNEA website or even the college website. As of the latest trends, securing a seat in B.E. Mechatronics Engineering requires a cut-off of 190 under the general category.

Fees & Scholarships : The fee structure in SKCET is under the NAAC regulations and TNEA regulations. Since SKCET is an autonomous institution, they aren't a state-funded college. The fee structure for a student getting admission via TNEA is around Rs.1,20,000 per annum excluding transportation fees and hostel fees. Hostel fee starts from Rs.90,000 in the first year of study and decreases as the years' progress. The transportation fee for day scholars start from Rs.20,000 per annum and increases as per the area their residence comes under. SKCET provides numerous scholarships under the state and central government regulations. Annual scholarships are provided to backward caste students based on their parent's income certificate.

None of the applications are rejected if the data provided are accurate and matching the norms provided by the central government.

Academics & Faculty :   Life at SKCET is a mix of extensive learning and enrichment of your skills.

All the staffs in the college are very experienced and are indeed student-friendly. There are around 15+ doctorates teachers in the college, who has vast knowledge on the subject. The quality of teaching depends upon the origin of the student. It is really good for home state students since the teachers prefer to use their mother tongue to explain the concept in depth. However, the speaking proficiency of certain staffs is below par which will affect the other state students who are not well versed in Tamil. The standard of teaching and curriculum is set by many top brass universities which are at par with the current trends and demands required in the field. In the recent academic update, apart from trimming down the number of subjects, many new subjects are added upon based on the demand in the industry. The introduction of new labs has indeed boosted the speed of learning for many students in the college. The college has its 3D printing machines, a readymade kart and much more to enhance practical learning rather than only focussing on theoretical learning. The college doesn't suppress your learning interest. In fact, it helps you by providing financial helps for extra courses you're willing to undertake. The college supports platforms like NPTEL, Coursera, EDX etc to enhance students knowledge apart from what they learn inside the campus. Monthly industrial visits are scheduled for core departments to imbibe practical knowledge along with theory.
