Conclusion

If you’re considering SCT, here’s how to approach your decision:

1. List your preferred engineering branch, and check current cutoff & intake for that branch.

2. Calculate total cost: tuition + hostel + mess + transport + other expenses.

3. Visit if possible, or talk to current students about hostel life, food, lab facilities.

4. Look at past placement records in your branch: what kind of companies came, what average / highest package etc.

5. Check eligibility criteria for scholarships and reservations (if applicable), as they can reduce cost.

Selvam College of Technology presents itself as a solid option for engineering education in Tamil Nadu, especially for students who value infrastructure, hostels, and employability. As with any college, doing ground research (if possible visiting campus, talking with seniors) will help you make a well‑informed decision.
