Rohini College of Engineering and Technology BE FAQs

Ques. Which BE specialization at Rohini College of Engineering and Technology has the lowest fees, and which has the highest?

Ans. BE Civil Engineering has the lowest total tuition at INR 1,60,000 (INR 40,000 per year). BE Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and CSE with AI and ML all carry the highest fee at INR 2,80,000 (INR 70,000 per year). BE Biomedical is INR 2,00,000 and BE Mechanical is INR 2,40,000.

Ques. Does Rohini College of Engineering and Technology accept JEE Main scores for BE admission, or is TNEA the only route?

Ans. For Tamil Nadu-quota seats at RCET, admission is through TNEA counselling based on Class 12 normalised score only. JEE Main scores are not used and do not carry any additional weightage in the TNEA allotment process. Students from outside Tamil Nadu may contact the college directly for management-quota availability.

Ques. Are university and autonomous examination fees included in the BE tuition fee at Rohini College of Engineering and Technology?

Ans. No. The stated tuition fees of INR 1,60,000 to INR 2,80,000 cover only the tuition component. RCET is an autonomous college, so both autonomous internal examination fees and Anna University external examination fees are billed separately each semester. Students should factor these into their total cost estimate when planning annual expenses.

Ques. How is the TNEA normalised score calculated for BE admission at Rohini College of Engineering and Technology?

Ans. TNEA computes a normalised score from Class 12 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology for Biomedical applicants). The normalisation process adjusts for differences in marking standards across state and central boards. This normalised score determines the student’s rank on the TNEA merit list, which drives seat allotment at RCET during centralised counselling.

Ques. How are the 540 BE seats at Rohini College of Engineering and Technology distributed across specializations?

Ans. BE CSE and BE Electronics and Communication Engineering have the largest intakes at 120 seats each. BE Biomedical Engineering, BE Civil Engineering, BE Electrical and Electronics Engineering, BE Mechanical Engineering, and BE CSE with AI and ML each have an intake of 60 seats. All 540 seats are filled through TNEA centralised counselling.
