Hi. Is payment of admission in engineering college by parent eligible for deduction under 80C- Tuition Fees? If Payment is made by demand draft, will receipt be required to avail deduction?

Yes. Only the tuition fee paid for full time course is eligible for deduction u/s. 80C. Other expenses, such as transport charges, library charges, hostel charges, development fees or donation, are not covered.

Keep receipt as proof, if case of any query raised.

@ Pooja: Generally full time courses are considered for 80C deductions. But if the course you have mentioned is recognised by any recognised university as degree or diploma (& not certification) course, than you can claim such deduction.
