The average annual package is approximately 2.5 lakhs INR, with the highest being 4 lakhs INR.

The college provides employability support through resume building and interview preparation. Students benefit from a comprehensive internship program, including placements at IIT Mandi, NIT Hamirpur, and IIIT Una, often with stipends. Internships last 45 days post-sixth semester, and a six-month industrial training occurs in the final semester. Various scholarships are available through the National Scholarships Portal, based on academic performance and financial need. Boys pay about 28,000 to 30,000 INR per semester, while girls pay 13,000 to 15,000 INR.

Hostel facilities cost about 5,000 INR for six months. Overall education costs, including accommodation, range from 5 to 6 lakhs INR for boys. Scholarships are aimed at economically disadvantaged students, such as the Post Matric Scholarship for SC students and the Dr. Ambedkar Post Matric Scholarship for the economically backward general category, with parental income limits of 250,000 INR and 100,000 INR, respectively. Mandatory internships, like one with NHAI, provide a stipend of 10,000 INR per month for four months.

Students must renew scholarships annually, and despite available scholarships, job placements and internship opportunities are somewhat limited.
