Kongu Engineering College is very strict regarding dress code. I have a few friends who graduated from the institute and here is what they told me about the dress code. 

• At KEC dress code for boys is formal shirts and pants that you have to tug in neatly. Also, you should not fold your full-sleeve shirt. Formal shoes in either black or brown are a must.
• For girls, the dress code is Salwar Kameez. You can also wear sarees on special occasions like department functions. No modern dresses are allowed on the campus.

ID Card and uniform are a must and both are provided by the management. 

I have a few friends from Kongu Engineering College and according to them, North Indian students are treated like native students.

North Indians don't have to worry as you won't be feeling that you are in a different state. Everyone will treat you as equal. There won't be any partiality in teaching or hostels. You will feel comfortable studying at Kongu Engineering College.

Maybe you will face a little problem due to language. But apart from that, North Indian students don’t face any problems. 

A few of my friends recently graduated from Kongu Engineering College (KEC). Here is what they have to say about the institute.

Advantages:

• Kongu Engineering College (KEC) is known to be one of the best self-supporting colleges in Tamil Nadu and India.
• Excellent environment for Study, KEC has been awarded for Green Campus by AICTE.
• Experienced and Interactive Faculties
• Students are encouraged to pursue their own interests. 
• There are many co-curricular-oriented activities, in which you can participate. 
• Choice-based credit system - You can choose your subjects across any branch of Engineering.
• The infrastructure of the institute is quite good. There are well-equipped labs, a huge auditorium. 
• Good Placement Opportunities. In the 2020 placement drive, a total of 220 recruiting companies visited the campus and the median CTC offered was around 3 LPA. 
• You will receive good support for sports and extracurricular activities.

Disadvantages:

• Kongu Engineering College (KEC) is located in a Rural area.
• It is a Self-supporting college.
• Moderate Hostel Facility.
• During your first year, you will feel like you are still in your school.
• Girls have to assemble before 6 o'clock and they are not allowed to go out of hostels during weekends.

These are a few of the things that you should know before you choose KEC for your studies.

All the colleges are good enough to join, be it Kongu Engineering College or any other college. The main choice is about the branch that a student takes up. 

• It is whether the student is interested in the branch or the scope of the branch in the future. 
• It also depends on the other parameters like the infrastructure and the facilities available. 
• The college gives a school-like feel as it encourages discipline and is often very strict. 
• Therefore, it is a sole Institute that is only for education and not for entertainment purposes. 
• Don't expect fancy happenings in this institute like the colleges of Coimbatore. 
• It is situated in the rural area at Perundurai and gives the same rural-like atmosphere. 
• The Institute also provides practical knowledge to the students that count as one of its major features. 

The point where Kongu lacks is that some people of the Institute do partiality based on the caste system which spoils the overall environment for the students.

One of my friends graduated from Kongu Engineering College and here is his insight. 

Kongu Engineering College is one of the best and standard Engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. The college provides all the necessary facilities for the students to improve their knowledge. It’s tough to decide the best department, as all the departments are unique.

• CSE, IT, and ECE departments offer great placements.
• The faculty at Civil is best. 
• CSE and EIE departments have the best culture.
• The mechanical department has a well-balanced academic structure. You can easily maintain good academics and enjoy your college life. 

Overall all the departments in Kongu Engineering College are good, so take any department you want. 

One of my friends graduated from Kongu Engineering College and according to him, the hostel food is good. Comparatively, that is the best food you can get among colleges.

Most people like non-veg food at the cafeteria. According to my friend, the cafeteria food is not worth the money. You can find outside vendors for food. That is better. There are some really good shops for chit-chats. 

According to some of my friends studying at KEC (Kongu Engineering College), most professors use Tamil to teach the classes at Kongu Engineering College. 

• Most of the engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu teach in Tamil. 
• Most of the staff and faculties use Tamil and there is no such diversity in the language.
• The professors for English and Communication are the only ones who always speak in English. 
• In the 2nd or 3rd year, even fewer teachers speak English so it gets hard for an outsider to not understand a word being said. 
• KEC is not the right option regarding this case. If you want to speak in English during college timings, Kongu Engineering College is not the right choice for you. 

However, the faculties are mostly above average and all of them have a Ph.D. degree. So for students who are Tamil, would find it good to study here in Kongu Engineering College.

This depends on the subjects chosen, your commitment towards it, and your future goals too. For courses such as CSE, IT, EEE, ECE then KEC (Kongu Engineering College) would be the better option. 

• The placement opportunities there are better in product-based companies too. 
• Lots of interesting projects, internships, and technical training are conducted by KEC.
• The placement services in KEC start from the 3rd year itself and students get selected in the service-based IT sector from all the major branches. 
• It is also helpful for the students who want to pursue their master’s degree later through exams such as IES, GATE, IAS, IFS, CAT, etc. 

In KEC you will be prepared for all your future endeavors. Kongu Engineering College is definitely the better choice out of the two.

Kongu Engineering College is better than TANUVAS for Food Technology. It is the best in terms of experience, faculty, lab facilities, and environment, among other things. TANUVAS is great for animal research but not for food technology.

Kongu Engineering College has many labs with high-quality equipment, placements with good professors, and many facilities to meet your needs. It has cutting-edge equipment like a Freeze dryer, Microwave, and Infrared dryers, Spray dryers, and HPLC.
