๐บ Convener / rank quota (~70%)
Fill through official state web counselling on your entrance rank. Lower, state-regulated tuition. This is the merit route - no capitation.
๐ฐ Management quota (~30%)
Apply directly to the college, usually once convener rounds finish (around Jul-Aug). Still needs a valid entrance rank at most colleges, but fees are markedly higher than the convener seat.
Seat splits and fees vary by college and year. Always confirm the current management-quota fee directly with the college before deciding.

Branch-wise figures are ESTIMATES ONLY, not independently verified against an official GRIET report. The college-wide verified median (โน6 LPA, 2024) is well below every branch figure shown here, which is a sign these branch numbers likely run optimistic - the same pattern found in MGIT's branch table. Needs a follow-up pass against an official branch-wise disclosure.
