Quota determines the price of BE and B.Tech seats. All branches under the government channel carry a fee of INR 6,60,000, including CSE and AIML. The management-quota amount is also fixed at INR 3,48,000 for the mainstream BE and B.Tech branches. Boys and girls pay hostel fees of INR 35,000 per year.

HICET Admission Process

BE and B.Tech admission follows the Tamil Nadu engineering admission system, while applicants may also use HICET's separate management-quota route. PG selection depends on the entrance test accepted for the chosen programme.

BE and B.Tech Admission

1. Applicants seeking government and general-quota seats must register for TNEA, which is conducted by Anna University. This route covers 65% of the total intake.
2. No entrance examination is used for TNEA selection. Merit is calculated from the applicant's 10+2 aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
3. Students must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and secured at least 45% in aggregate. HICET's TNEA institution code is 2708.
4. The remaining 35% of seats are filled through direct management-quota applications. Eligible applicants can submit the form through the college application portal.
5. For management-quota selection, HICET considers academic records and conducts a counselling interaction.

ME Admission

Applicants need a relevant BE or B.Tech degree with at least 50% aggregate marks. Anna University conducts TANCET for government and general-quota ME seats, and HICET also accepts GATE scores for merit selection.

MBA and MCA Admission

MBA selection accepts TANCET, CAT or MAT scores. MCA applicants enter through TANCET and must have studied Mathematics either at the 10+2 stage or during graduation. Direct management-quota applications are available for both MBA and MCA.

HICET Placements

Campus recruitment at HICET covers final-year students from BE, B.Tech, MBA and MCA. The 2024 drive produced a highest offer of INR 44 LPA and a median salary of INR 4.9 LPA. The reported overall placement rate was 75%.

Cognizant, IBM, Infosys, TCS, HP and National Instruments are among the engineering and technology recruiters that take part in HICET drives. Toyota and related Tier-1 suppliers recruit for manufacturing and automotive roles, supported by Coimbatore's auto-component and precision-engineering base. IT service and product companies mainly hire CSE, IT and AIML graduates, while manufacturing companies in the Coimbatore area recruit Mechanical and Automobile Engineering students.

The college's NAAC A++ accreditation and its group of 15 NBA-accredited programmes support its standing among recruiters. MBA students are also close to Coimbatore's SME and textile sectors. Employers from BFSI, logistics and manufacturing visit the campus for management positions.

HICET Rankings

HICET takes part in the national NIRF assessment. Its latest available Engineering position is listed below.

Along with its NIRF position, HICET has an A++ grade from NAAC and NBA accreditation for 15 programmes. Its autonomous recognition from Anna University permits the college to frame syllabi and manage internal assessments independently.

HICET Scholarships

State and central government schemes provide financial support to HICET students from reserved categories and economically weaker families. Eligibility and benefits differ across the following scholarships.

Government-quota students come under Anna University's scholarship disbursement system. Applications for Tamil Nadu state scholarships must be submitted through the e-scholarships TN portal in every academic year.

HICET Campus and Infrastructure

HICET's 200-acre campus is located in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Engineering and management departments share the site with central laboratories, a digital library and sports facilities. Its location also supports internship and placement access to the city's manufacturing, textile and IT industries.

Separate on-campus hostels are provided for male and female students at INR 35,000 per year. The residential facilities include mess and canteen services, security and recreational amenities. Other resources include computer centres, electronics laboratories, mechanical workshops and an auditorium used for academic and cultural programmes.

As an autonomous college affiliated with Anna University, HICET can design its curriculum and manage internal examinations and grading. Its NAAC A++ grade and NBA accreditations are linked to quality processes covering facilities, teaching and assessment.

HICET vs KPR Institute vs Sri Krishna College of Technology

Students considering private autonomous engineering colleges affiliated with Anna University in Coimbatore may compare HICET with KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology and Sri Krishna College of Technology. The table sets out their main differences.

KPR Institute has the stronger NIRF Engineering 2025 position, with a 101 to 150 band compared with HICET's 201 to 300 band, reflecting its research and publication profile. HICET has the larger campus and a higher count of NBA-accredited programmes. Sri Krishna College of Technology has the lower listed BE CSE fee but does not hold a NIRF Engineering rank. All three provide private autonomous engineering education in Coimbatore for Tamil Nadu students.
