The fee structure for EEE at RNS Institute of Technology is reasonable and affordable compared to other colleges. The yearly fees are around ?1 lakh for KCET students, and higher for management quota. There are some additional charges like lab and exam fees. The total course fee is worth it for the facilities provided. Scholarships are available for eligible students through government schemes like SSP and merit-based support. Fees may increase slightly every year but are still manageable. The EEE department has good teaching, supportive faculty, and a well-maintained campus. Placements are also decent with good packages.

VTU: 1 Answered Question

How are ranks and gold medals awarded by Visvesvaraya Technological University VTU for a B.E. course What should we do to achieve them?

Meenu SinghalStudied B.E. Mechanical Engineering,Visvesvaraya Technological University (2017)

My friend graduated from Visvesvaraya Technological University with a gold medal. She ranked amongst the top ten students with the highest aggregate in CS. 

It is calculated by the average of total marks of the last four semesters. A Gold medal becomes a dream if you fail in any of the subjects.

There are 2 types of Gold medals are of two types: 

  • Merit Gold medal is given to those with the highest aggregate in their major/branch.
  • Endowment Gold medals are sponsored in different categories like for bright students of different categories and gender-based distribution.

Getting a gold medal is not impossible. Follow 2-3 additional books, study throughout the year and understand the core engineering and mathematical concepts. Internal assessments should be taken seriously as well. Be clear in your intentions and don't budge because there'll be distractions, but you can make your mark if you will it.
