ROI Reality Check
The 2025 average CTC is ₹3.5 LPA against a total degree fee of ₹8L. You’ll get solid core exposure and Chennai’s auto ecosystem access, but don’t expect an instant financial breakeven.
The verdict
Good fit
A practical pick if you want a Chennai-based, NAAC ‘A’ accredited Mechanical program with hands-on Formula Student participation and direct OEM/industry exposure. The recruiter list mixes core manufacturing (L&T, Ashok Leyland, Hyundai) with IT services, giving flexibility. That said, the average CTC is modest relative to the ₹8L fee—treat this degree as a launchpad for GATE, higher studies, or off-campus core roles rather than an instant ROI machine.
