StepVista Data Interpretation

Seat Occupancy Trends & Core Branch Vacancies

1. High-Demand Computing Clusters: Branch occupancy rates reveal very healthy skews in core computing fields, led by Computer Science (AI & ML) at 93.3% occupancy and Computer Science & Engineering at 75.6% occupancy.
2. Circuit & Core Engineering Seat Surpluses: Circuit fields like Electronics & Communication show significant seat spaces with a 43.3% occupancy rate (only 39 students admitted out of 90). The most extreme skew exists in Mechanical Engineering, which admitted only 2 students out of a 30-seat capacity (6.7% occupancy). Prospective students seeking admission in these branches will experience virtually zero entry pressure and high seat availability.

Academic Placement Realities & Cost Ratios

1. Placement Data Non-Existence: Due to the 2023 inception date, claims of active historic placement percentages or high package figures represent speculative goals rather than audited data. Prospective students should evaluate the college based on physical infrastructure, academic regularities, and proximity rather than historical placement records.
2. Regulatory Fee Standards: KEA mandated B.E. tuition stands at the state government cap of ₹1,12,410 per year, while postgraduate MBA/MCA programs are capped at ₹69,310 per year, offering standard tuition boundaries relative to regional setups.
