EWIT Admission Process
B.E. Admission
EWIT B.E. seats are filled through two merit-based routes: KCET for Karnataka-domicile students and COMEDK UGET for all-India applicants. A portion of seats is reserved under the management quota, which is filled through direct counselling at the institute.
Eligibility and selection stages for B.E.:
- Pass in 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects
- Minimum 45% aggregate marks in PCM (40% for SC or ST candidates from Karnataka)
- Valid KCET rank (Karnataka domicile students) or valid COMEDK UGET rank
- Register on the KEA portal, submit branch preferences, and attend online counselling rounds
- Seat allotment is followed by document verification and admission confirmation at EWIT
KCET closing ranks at EWIT vary by branch. CSE, AI and ML, and AI and DS branches attract tighter closing ranks. Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering have wider rank ranges, making them accessible to a broader pool of Karnataka applicants.
PG Programmes (MBA, MCA, M.Tech)
MBA admission at EWIT requires a valid score in KMAT Karnataka, PGCET, MAT, or CMAT. Candidates must hold a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university. MCA admission requires graduation with Mathematics and a valid PGCET or NIMCET score.
M.Tech admission is based on GATE or Karnataka PGCET scores. Candidates must hold a B.E. or B.Tech degree in the relevant engineering discipline. Seats unfilled through merit rounds are offered under the management quota.

The East West Group’s presence in Karnataka education since 1968 has built an alumni base in engineering, management, and technology sectors across the region.
EWIT vs New Horizon College of Engineering vs CMR Institute of Technology
Aspirants shortlisting private VTU-affiliated autonomous engineering colleges in Bengaluru often compare EWIT with New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) and CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT). All three serve the same KCET and COMEDK applicant pool and operate under VTU’s autonomous framework.
| Parameter | EWIT | NHCE | CMRIT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Established | 2001 | 1994 | 2000 |
| Affiliation | VTU Autonomous | VTU Autonomous | VTU Autonomous |
| NAAC Grade | A (CGPA 3.25) | A+ | A++ |
| AICTE Status | Approved | Approved | Approved |
| NBA Accreditation | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Admission Exams | KCET / COMEDK | KCET / COMEDK | KCET / COMEDK |
| Campus | 20 acres, Magadi Road | 14 acres, Marathahalli | 4.5 acres, ITPL Road |
NHCE and CMRIT hold higher NAAC grades (A+ and A++ respectively), which makes them marginally more competitive for KCET closing ranks. EWIT’s larger campus and competitive fees for core engineering streams (Civil, EEE, Mechanical at INR 5.42 Lakhs) are a differentiator for budget-conscious applicants. All three colleges are viable options for Karnataka aspirants in a similar KCET rank band.
