“I had given up on getting any CSE seat after KCET rank was too low. The counsellor pointed me to BNMIT's management quota CSE and helped my parents understand the 4-year total cost vs the placement record we could realistically expect. I am now in second year and the placement preparation track here is genuinely good.”
Aryan JoshiBNM Institute of Technology · Computer Science · 2025“Coming from Kerala, I had no clue about Karnataka's 371-J quota or the COMEDK supplementary rounds. The counsellor explained eligibility, document requirements, and timing in plain language. We secured BMSIT ISE under management quota and the entire process from rank verification to seat confirmation took about 18 days.”
Karthik NairBMS Institute of Technology · Information Science · 2025“My JEE Main score was decent but not enough for any IIT/NIT, and I was confused between 6-7 Bangalore private colleges for AI/DS. CollegeAndFees gave me a side-by-side comparison of curriculum, faculty profiles, recent placement data, and total cost. Picked NHCE AI/DS without second-guessing.”
Ananya SinghNew Horizon College of Engineering · AI & Data Science · 2025“CollegeAndFees was the only resource that gave me a real comparison between PES, RVCE, and MSRIT for AI/ML — placement records, faculty, and total 4-year cost. Most other websites just listed cutoffs. The transparency on management-quota negotiation tips alone saved my family Rs. 6 lakh.”
Rohan IyerPES University, Bangalore · AI & ML · 2025“My COMEDK rank was around 12,000 and my parents kept getting calls from third-party agents promising "guaranteed CSE seats" at suspicious colleges. CollegeAndFees verified each option against AICTE/NAAC data and told us which calls to ignore. We got DSCE CSE through legitimate channels at the official fee.”
Vivek GowdaDayananda Sagar College of Engineering · Computer Science · 2025“I came to CollegeAndFees for management quota guidance for RVCE CSE. The team broke down the actual 4-year cost (tuition + hostel + misc) versus what other websites quote. Made the family decision much clearer.”
Rohan K.RV College of Engineering · CSE · 2024“My JEE Main rank was 78,000 and I was confused between BMSCE management quota and a tier-3 KCET seat. CollegeAndFees compared the placement data side-by-side and the management quota call paid off — campus placements at BMSCE are real.”
Priya M.BMS College of Engineering · ECE · 2024“PES University's CSE-AI/ML branch was my target. The fees breakdown on CollegeAndFees was the most accurate one I found — no hidden caveats. Worth contacting them directly via WhatsApp before counselling.”
Karthik S.PES University Bangalore · CSE-AI/ML · 2024“MSRIT NIRF #75 made it competitive but management quota was a real option for my profile. The CollegeAndFees calculator helped me see total cost vs hostel/PG savings. Family was on board after seeing the numbers.”
Ananya P.MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology · CSE · 2024“DSCE was within my KCET range but the management quota route gave better branch flexibility. CollegeAndFees explained the difference between admission routes and helped me avoid the consultancy markup I was about to fall for.”
Aditi S.Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering · CSE · 2024“My family had no engineering background, so the KCET-vs-COMEDK-vs-management-quota decision was paralysing for us. The CollegeAndFees counsellor walked my dad through the actual fee math for RVCE under each route — that was the first time someone gave us numbers without a sales pitch. We took the management quota seat for CSE and have zero regrets.”
Aarav SharmaRV College of Engineering · Computer Science · 2024“I had a borderline COMEDK rank and was getting confused looking at multiple counselling rounds. The team mapped out the realistic college-branch combinations for my rank and helped me lock BMSCE ECE in round 2 instead of waiting for an unrealistic CSE seat. Fast, honest, and we did not pay anything for the guidance.”
Priya ReddyBMS College of Engineering · Electronics & Communication · 2024“I was a Tamil Nadu girl applying for a Karnataka seat under management quota. The counsellor knew exactly which colleges had genuine outside-Karnataka seat availability and which were time-wasters. We got into MSRIT Mechanical without paying any "consultancy fees" and the WhatsApp guidance was instant whenever I had a question.”
Sneha PatelM S Ramaiah Institute of Technology · Mechanical · 2024“My dad runs a small business and the "fee transparency" angle on this site is what got us to trust it. We were quoted Rs. 18 lakh by a third-party agent for CMRIT CSE, but the actual management-quota fee per the college's own circular was Rs. 11 lakh. The counsellor showed us the official document and we paid the real fee directly to the college.”
Aditya KumarCMR Institute of Technology · Computer Science · 2024“I am from Mangalore and was looking for a strong tier-2 Karnataka engineering college close to home. CollegeAndFees gave me detailed profiles of NMAMIT, NITK Surathkal, and a few coastal options. NITK was out of reach with my rank, but NMAMIT ECE turned out to be a great fit — strong placements, autonomous status, decent fees.”
Meera KrishnanNMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte · Electronics & Communication · 2024“I was deciding between MIT Manipal (Karnataka) and VIT Vellore (Tamil Nadu). The comparison page on CollegeAndFees laid out the placement averages clearly — picked MIT Manipal for the heritage and proximity advantage.”
Vivek R.Manipal Institute of Technology · ECE · 2023“NMIT's CSE branch was my preference. The site's placement data + branch comparisons helped me skip lower-tier colleges I was considering as backups. Family WhatsApp conversation with the team was direct and useful.”
