The fee structure for engineering courses will remain unchanged in private self-financing colleges this academic year. The government has decided to continue the existing fee pattern despite a section of college managements demanding a considerable fee hike.
While the government inked a seat-sharing agreement with Kerala Self Financing Engineering College Managements’ Association (KSFECMA), it decided to persist with the existing agreement with the Kerala Catholic Engineering College Managements’ Association (KCECMA).
Retaining the existing seat matrix, the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) will allot students to 50% of the seats in the colleges on the basis of the rank list prepared in accordance with merit and reservation guidelines, while 35% can be filled by the respective managements and the remaining coming under the NRI quota.
