• Per day meal it cost Rs 92 which includes breakfast/lunch/snacks/dinner. Food is absolutely good enough and nutritious.
• Coming to classrooms we have CRC(class room center) where all students common courses are done their its a three floored buliding with airconditoner and we have a very big and good library with five levels (floors) where we have book bank every month starting students can go and collect the required books and also library has wifi and even we have internet portal in hostel.

• Classes start at morning 8am for everyone and ends at different timings. Exams usually we IIT'inas call them as quiz1 quiz2 & end semesters. Attendance 85% is MANDATORY. If the attendance is below 85% institution does not allow the student to attend the exam and no supplies for that you need to repeat the entire course.
• Teaching faculties are good.
• The college life you experience is good.

• The upcoming year 2017 the fees structure will be approximately Rs 2 lakhs per year and its not yet confirmed 
• We have many scholarships which college provides MCM SCHOLARSHIP SC/ST SCHOLARSHIP and many more scholarships. 
• Students with parents less income with proof of income certificate can get scholarship for sure 
• For LOAN, we have a very good friendly bank STATE BANK OF INDIA IIT CHENNAI BRANCH which is inside the campus and it approves as soon as in the beginning of the semester of joining in institution hopefully loans are not that much needed because once scholarships get approved we have no more queries with academic and hostel fee and especially loan can be applied for students who cannot really afford for remaining amount. Llaptop if needed bank givesRs  50000 for laptop and Rs 5000 per semester to purchase books  and for applying educatinal loan you need to have all the government official proofs of parents as well students (eg:- pan card, aadhar card, voter id, parents income certificate).
