Ques. Which branches are offered under BE at SKSJTI?
Ans. BE at SKSJTI is offered in five branches: Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Silk Technology, and Textile Technology. Branch allotment depends on KCET or COMEDK rank and the preferences submitted during KEA counselling.
Ques. Is GATE mandatory for M.Tech Textile Technology at SKSJTI?
Ans. GATE is not mandatory but gives priority in the merit list. Candidates without GATE can apply through Karnataka PGCET for management quota seats. The PGCET result is expected on Jul 8, 2026. KEA counselling for M.Tech will be scheduled after the result.
Ques. Can I apply for PhD at SKSJTI with UGC-NET instead of GATE?
Ans. Yes. UGC-NET is accepted for CSE and Textile Technology disciplines. CSIR-NET is accepted for Chemistry. For Civil Engineering and ECE, a valid GATE score is required. All candidates must appear for the VTU research aptitude test and interview at SKSJTI, regardless of qualifying exam.
Ques. When will KEA counselling for SKSJTI BE 2026 begin?
Ans. KCET results were released on Jun 6, 2026. KEA typically begins seat allotment counselling within a few weeks of the result. Check the KEA portal for the schedule, document checklist, and reporting instructions.
Ques. Is Silk Technology at SKSJTI a good career option?
Ans. Yes. Silk Technology is one of the rarest engineering branches in India and SKSJTI is among the few government institutes offering it. Karnataka’s silk industry in Mysuru and Ramanagara provides strong placement linkages. Students report above-average placement rates in silk and textile branches compared to other engineering branches at this institute.
Ques. How competitive is KCET admission to SKSJTI?
Ans. CSE and ECE branches attract strong KCET rank holders and are more competitive. Silk Technology and Textile Technology see lower competition due to their niche nature. Candidates should check previous years’ closing KCET ranks for each branch to set realistic expectations before filling preferences.
Ques. What is the PhD fee structure and which disciplines are available at SKSJTI?
Ans. PhD at SKSJTI is offered in Civil Engineering, CSE, ECE, Chemistry, and Textile Technology. The total fee for the 3-year programme is INR 1,83,600, which is INR 61,200 per year. Seats are limited per research guide, so candidates should apply as soon as the SKSJTI/VTU notification is released.
