Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management is a reputed institution and has been ranked by multiple ranking bodies under various categories. In 2024, Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management climbed 8 ranks to #140 rank in the 'Engineering (Private)' category by the Outlook-ICARE ranking.

No, Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management appears to accept a valid JEE Main score or rank for direct admission to their B.Tech course into the first year, based on the information above.

However, two alternatives can be considered here.

Lateral Entry: In the case of an engineering diploma, a candidate is directly eligible to join the second year of B.Tech. This does not generally involve taking the JEE Main either.

Abacus Institute of Engineering and Management is moderately priced compared to other engineering institutions. B.Tech courses are approximated to INR 60,000 to INR 80,000 per annum. All these may add to the overall expenditure. It is not the cheapest, but its quality of education and placement facilities make it worthwhile.

The exact amount charged for B.Tech at AIEM varies with the course followed and whether you are a fresh student or lateral entry one. However, from what I found, here is the estimated range:

Total tuition fee:

INR 2 - 3.4 Lakh

Lateral Entry:

The fee difference is very high for ECE/ CSE and the rest of the branches like Electrical Engineering/ Mechanical Engineering/ Civil Engineering.

ECE/CSE: Package: INR 1,25,000 total for the program; Semester fee: INR 18,000 to INR 20,850

Other branches: Package: INR 2,20,000 total for the program; Semester fee: INR 30,850 onwards.
