SSN College of Engineering (SSNCE) Courses & Fee Structure

Treat this as a legacy programme and fee reference

SSN College of Engineering (SSNCE) is in progressive closure. Its official transition FAQ says the college will take no new admissions from academic year 2026-27 onward. Students admitted through AY 2025-26 continue at SSNCE and complete their degrees under the applicable Anna University regulations. The programme list and fee figures below describe the college's documented offerings and the published 2024-25 fee schedule; they are not an open 2027-28 admission offer or a current fee quote. For future engineering applications, SSNCE directs candidates to the SSN School of Engineering under Shiv Nadar University Chennai (SNU Chennai), a separate institution with its own programmes and fees.

The distinction matters because SSNCE's site still contains older course pages, brochures and forms. A programme listed on one of those pages can help a continuing student identify their degree, but it does not show that SSNCE is recruiting another batch. Likewise, a course name shared with SNU Chennai does not make the two programme records interchangeable.

Undergraduate engineering programmes

SSNCE's official undergraduate overview lists eight engineering branches: B.E. Biomedical Engineering, B.E. Civil Engineering, B.E. Computer Science and Engineering, B.E. Electrical and Electronics Engineering, B.E. Electronics and Communication Engineering, B.E. Mechanical Engineering, B.Tech. Chemical Engineering and B.Tech. Information Technology. The college's general admissions information describes its standard B.E./B.Tech. programmes as four years across eight semesters. Use the student's own admission letter and university record to confirm the exact degree title and regulation year.

The department names also appear on SSNCE's college site and its AICTE mandatory disclosure. The disclosure is particularly useful for understanding what the institution reported for AY 2024-25, but its sanctioned intakes and programme records belong to that reporting period. They should not be interpreted as seats available for a later SSNCE intake. Students completing a programme should follow the curriculum, examination rules and course title applicable to their admitted batch, rather than relying on a current page that may have been repurposed for SNU Chennai admissions.

Postgraduate and integrated programmes

The official SSNCE postgraduate overview lists M.E. programmes in Applied Electronics, Communication Systems, Computer Science and Engineering, Energy Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Medical Electronics, Power Electronics and Drives, and VLSI Design. It also lists M.Tech. Environmental Science and Technology and M.Tech. Information Technology. SSNCE's admissions overview describes the standard M.E./M.Tech. course as two years and four semesters. Department pages provide more detailed subject descriptions, but those descriptions are not proof of a new SSNCE admissions cycle.

SSNCE materials also identify an integrated M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering, a five-year route from Plus Two. The AICTE 2024-25 disclosure lists the integrated programme with a sanctioned intake of 60. That is a distinct integrated award and duration, not a standard two-year postgraduate course. The AICTE disclosure also lists an MBA with 120 seats in its 2024-25 programme information. The public transition FAQ does not give a future MBA admissions mapping; do not infer that an MBA place at SSNCE has moved to an engineering programme at SNU Chennai.

What the 2024-25 fee schedule says

SSNCE's AICTE mandatory disclosure labels its fee table as the fee applicable for academic year 2024-25 and says fees follow Tamil Nadu government norms based on the Fee Fixation Committee's recommendations. For B.E./B.Tech., it lists annual tuition of ₹50,000 for Government Quota non-accredited courses and ₹55,000 for Government Quota accredited courses. Under Management Quota it lists ₹1.4L per year for non-accredited courses and ₹1.45L per year for accredited courses. The table says M.E./M.Tech. tuition was ₹50,000 per year for non-accredited courses and ₹60,000 per year for accredited courses. It notes annual payment timing.

These are tuition figures for the disclosed 2024-25 schedule, divided by quota and accreditation status. They are not total programme costs, and they do not include a universal hostel, transport, examination or other-charge amount. The fee table does not give a corresponding MBA tuition figure. It also does not let a reader determine an individual student's current amount without knowing their batch, admission category, course accreditation status and applicable college or university notices. Do not multiply one annual line by course length and call it the amount currently owed.

Fees and support for continuing students

For students already enrolled, SSNCE's transition FAQ says fees continue according to the prevailing norms applicable to each student's batch. It states that progressive closure adds no charge and that SNU Chennai's fee policies do not change existing SSNCE student fees. This is a policy statement about the teach-out arrangement; it is not a replacement for a student's current semester demand or official account statement. Students should confirm payable amounts, due dates and any permitted instalments with the college using their batch-specific communication.

The FAQ also says existing institutional scholarships continue for current SSN students according to policy. It names Merit, Merit-cum-Means, Rural, Walk-in-Walk-out and Sports scholarships, plus other institutional awards. Continuation does not mean every student receives an award or that the 2024-25 fee disclosure's scholarship counts are current. Check the original award letter and current renewal rules. New SNU Chennai applicants must consult SNU Chennai's own scholarship and fee information; SSNCE's historical fee table should not be used for that decision.

If you are applying for a new engineering seat

SSNCE is not accepting a new engineering batch from AY 2026-27 onward. The college directs future engineering applicants to the SSN School of Engineering at SNU Chennai. Start with that university's current prospectus and confirm the programme, eligibility, selection route, tuition and additional charges there. Do not submit an old SSNCE application form or treat the 2024-25 annual tuition schedule as an SNU Chennai quotation.

If you are an SSNCE student, keep your programme title, regulation year, quota and current fee or scholarship letter together when asking about remaining semesters. If you are researching the college's earlier intake, cite the reporting year beside every programme, seat or fee figure. That keeps a useful historical reference from being mistaken for a live SSNCE offer.
