EPGI Bangalore Admission FAQs
Ques. Does EPGI have both engineering and medical colleges on the same campus?
Ans. Yes. East Point Group of Institutions has six constituent colleges on one campus: engineering, medical sciences (MBBS), pharmacy, physiotherapy, allied health sciences, and nursing. You can complete different programmes at different levels without changing campuses. Students pursuing MBBS, BPT, or allied health UG often continue into PG programmes (MD, MPT, or M.Pharm) at the same institution.
Ques. Can I get BE admission at EPGI without a KCET or COMEDK rank?
Ans. Yes. EPGI offers management-quota BE seats through direct application to the college, without needing a KCET or COMEDK rank. Apply with your 10+2 marks and documents. Management-quota fees are higher than KCET rates. If you have a KCET or COMEDK rank, use those first since the process is more structured and the fees are regulated.

Government-quota seats close at higher NEET percentiles since they are allotted by KEA on merit. Management-quota seats are available at lower scores but at higher fees. Your NEET score determines both quota eligibility and the fee you pay.
Ques. Are there scholarships for students at EPGI?
Ans. SC and ST Karnataka students are eligible for the state post-matric scholarship on government-quota seats. AICTE’s Pragati and Saksham scholarships apply to BE and pharmacy programmes for eligible students. GATE-qualified M.Tech scholars on government-quota seats are eligible for the AICTE monthly stipend.
