As per the contract, half of the seats would be given to the government. In all seats, the previous year's fee will be levied. As per the contract if sufficient number of students are not there from the government list, the managements can conduct their own examination. Higher education principal secretary Tom Jose signed the pact in the presence of chief minister Oommen Chandy. The decision for a pact on a 50:50 seat-sharing basis with Rs 35,000 as annual tuition fee for half the government seats and Rs.60,000 for the other half was finalized between the Government and Kerala Self-Financing Engineering College Managements Association on Monday.
