Exploring my interests and talents along with my engineering degree

Fees and Financial Aid:

Here the college fees for every year is pretty acceptable since it is a government college. Also the students from poor background can apply for scholarships in our college. The college provides free scholarships for the students with poor background. But I am not sure with the scholarship names since I haven't applied any. Finally coming to my job campus placement, I got placed in TCS company this year 2021. Eventhough I am from Electronics and Instrumentation department, I can apply for both core company as well as software company.
