Alliance College of Engineering and Design — Fees, Placements & Admission 2026

Alliance accepts KCET and COMEDK scores as qualifying entrance test scores for B.Tech admission, but seats are NOT allocated through KEA or COMEDK counselling. All B.Tech intake at Alliance is administered through the university's own selection process — AUEET (Alliance Undergraduate Engineering Entrance Test) plus a Personal Interview, or via JEE Main / JEE Advanced / SAT / CUET / AUSAT score-based direct counselling. Apply via apply.alliance.edu.in.

Alliance University holds NAAC Cycle 1 Grade A+ (accredited November 2024) at the university level, which covers Alliance College of Engineering and Design as a constituent school. NBA accreditation status is more limited: only SARs (Self-Assessment Reports) for ECE and MBA are listed on the IQAC NBA hub; no NBA accreditation award letter has been published for any B.Tech programme yet. Alliance is also IACBE-accredited (business / management scope) and an Academic Affiliate of IET-UK.

Per the IQAC-audited Academic and Administrative Audit Report 2022-23 (Criterion 4), the engineering placement record for the 2018-2022 cycle at ACED is: 90.2 % placement rate, ₹16,00,000 highest CTC, and ₹5,29,000 average CTC. The earlier 2014-2018 cycle closed at 42.2 % placement rate. Headline figures like ₹60.1 LPA published on the homepage / engineering school page refer to university-wide marketing (likely MBA outlier), not the audited engineering aggregate.
