MIT Mysore Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
Which BE branch at MIT Mysore has the most seats?▾
Computer Science and Engineering, with 180 seats for 2026 to 27. More seats often means a wider spread of ranks get in. Still, compare the last round ranks on the KEA portal before you fill options.
What is the Kannada medium Mechanical course?▾
AICTE has approved 30 Mechanical Engineering seats taught in Kannada for 2026 to 27. It suits you if you studied in Kannada and want to learn in it. Ask the office how the exams and books work before you pick it.
Which college codes do I use for MIT Mysore?▾
Use E158 on the KEA portal and E078 on the COMEDK portal. Both codes stand for this Belawadi campus. Check the code before you save your options, so you do not pick the wrong college by mistake.
Were COMEDK seats left at MIT Mysore after the last round?▾
Yes. The COMEDK list of 4 Sep 2026 showed 31 Computer Science, 30 Electronics and 16 Information Science seats still empty. So a late rank can still find a seat here. Keep the college in your list.
Can I write both KCET and COMEDK UGET?▾
Yes. They are separate exams with separate forms, so you can write both. If you get seats through both, keep only one and cancel the other before the last date.
How does the college fill management seats?▾
You apply to the college, and it talks to each student in a personal counselling session. Seats are then given on merit among those who applied. Apply early on admission.mitmysore.in, because the notice comes out in May or June.
Does MIT Mysore set its own exams?▾
Yes. It is autonomous under VTU, so it sets its own syllabus and exams within VTU rules. VTU still gives your final degree.
What is an SNQ seat?▾
SNQ seats are extra KCET seats with a much lower fee for students from low income families. You need an income certificate to claim one. Tick the SNQ option on the KEA portal if your family income fits.
I am from Jammu and Kashmir. Is there a seat for me?▾
AICTE runs the PMSSS scheme for students from Jammu and Kashmir, and AICTE pays the fee. Check the AICTE portal for the colleges in your year's list before you choose.
Can I study BE with Biology and no Maths?▾
No. Physics and Maths are both a must for BE. Your third subject can be Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Electronics or Computer Science.
Do I need English in Class 12?▾
Yes. English must be one of your languages in Class 12 or 2nd PUC. Check your marks card for it before you fill options.
I am from another state. Can I get a KCET seat here?▾
KCET seats are mainly for students of Karnataka origin under KEA rules. If you are from outside, write COMEDK UGET, which is open to all of India, or apply for a management seat.
How is Computer Science and Business Systems different from Computer Science?▾
Both teach coding and computer basics. Business Systems adds subjects on how companies work, like finance and management. Pick it if you like both tech and business.
Do I need an APAAR ID to join?▾
It helps to have one. Many colleges now ask for it to store your marks online. Create it through your school or DigiLocker well before reporting.
Do I need a migration certificate?▾
Yes, if you studied Class 12 outside Karnataka. Ask your board or school for it as soon as your result is out, because it can take a few weeks.
When do I need a 371J certificate?▾
Only if you claim a seat for the Kalyana Karnataka region. Get it from the Tahsildar before you upload documents on the KEA portal.
Can a diploma holder join BE here in the second year?▾
Yes. You write DCET, which KEA holds for diploma students, and then pick MIT Mysore in KEA counselling. The college lists 96 such seats across its branches.
Does MIT Mysore have a hostel?▾
Yes. The college says room sharing changes by semester, with more privacy as you reach the final year. It has not printed the hostel fee, so call the admission office before you plan your money.
How do I reach the campus every day?▾
The campus is at Belawadi, behind K R Mills, in Srirangapatna Taluk. The college lists transport among its facilities. Ask the office about bus stops near your home.
Which BE branches here are NBA accredited?▾
The college shows NBA certificates for its UG courses dated 19 May 2021 and 29 May 2025. Open them on the college NBA page to see which branches they cover before you pick.
I got a seat in round 1 but want a better branch. What should I do?▾
On the KEA portal, pick the choice that lets you join the next round while you keep your seat. Read each choice with care. If you pick the wrong one, you can lose the seat.
Can I change my branch after the first year?▾
The college has not printed a branch change rule. VTU rules decide it, and seats must be free in the new branch. Pick your branch with care at the option stage.
Someone is offering me a seat here for money. Is that real?▾
No. You get a seat only through KEA, COMEDK, the university or the college admission office. Do not pay any agent who promises a seat.
Where is the MIT Mysore campus?▾
It is at Belawadi, Naguvanahalli Post, Srirangapatna Taluk, Mandya District, Karnataka 571477. You report at the admission office on the campus.
How do I contact the admissions team?▾
Call or WhatsApp 96202 28256 for admission questions. For other questions, call 96202 28021 or 96202 28022, or write to principal@mitmysore.in.

MIT Mysore Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How is the 50% for PG worked out?▾
It is counted over your whole degree, not only the final year. Add up every year before you apply. If you fall short, you cannot take a seat even with a good rank.
Does the 45% rule help students from other states?▾
No. Only students of Karnataka origin can claim reservation. If you come from another state, plan for 50%.
Can I join M.Tech here with a GATE score and no PGCET?▾
Yes. The college takes GATE for M.Tech. You still register with KEA, which fills seats for GATE holders through its counselling.
Which M.Tech branches are new this year?▾
Electronics and Communication Engineering and Civil Engineering were approved by AICTE for 2026 to 27, with 18 seats each. A new branch has no past rank data, so keep a backup in your list.
Who can apply for M.Tech Thermal Power Engineering?▾
It suits you if you studied Mechanical Engineering and like engines, heat and power plants. It has only 9 seats. Ask the office if your branch counts before you put it in your options.
I did not study Maths. Can I still join MCA?▾
Yes, if your degree marks are high enough. Without Maths, VTU asks you to clear an extra bridge subject during the course. Plan extra study time for it in the first year.
Can a B.Com student join MCA?▾
Yes. A B.Com is on the list of degrees the college accepts. If you had Maths in school, the coding and statistics papers will feel easier for you.
Why did MBA and MCA seats drop this year?▾
AICTE approved 120 seats each for 2026 to 27, down from 180. In 2025 to 26, the college admitted 96 MBA and 112 MCA students. Fewer seats can mean a little more competition, so do not leave your options late.
Can I use a KMAT or CMAT score for a KEA seat?▾
No. KEA gives MBA seats only on a PGCET rank. A KMAT or CMAT score helps you only for a management seat here.
Which test should I write for MBA if I can write only one?▾
Write Karnataka PGCET. It gives you a shot at KEA seats at the state fee and also works for a management seat. Keep KMAT or CMAT as your backup.
Is the MBA here accredited?▾
Yes. The MBA department says NBA and NAAC have both accredited it. That tells you outside experts have checked its teaching and results.
I am SC or ST on a PGCET seat. What must I do about the fee?▾
Apply for the post matric scholarship online as soon as you join. Keep your caste and income certificate ready. The college SC and ST Welfare Cell can help you fill the form.
Can I do an MBA here after a BE?▾
Yes. Your BE counts as a valid first degree for the MBA. Many engineers take an MBA to move into business roles, so you will not be alone.
What is the KEA claim slip?▾
It is the slip you download from the KEA portal after the result. In 2026, it opened on 11 Sep. You need it before you can enter your options.
How should I order my options on the KEA portal?▾
Put the course and college you want most at the top, then go down in order. Try a mock entry first if KEA offers one. Your first choice gets the first chance.
My university gives CGPA. How is it read as a percentage?▾
You use the conversion rule of the university that gave your degree. Keep a letter or page with that rule ready, because KEA and the college will ask for it.
I have only a provisional degree certificate. Is that enough?▾
Yes, if your final degree certificate is not out yet. Bring the provisional one when you report, and give the final one when your university sends it.
Are my degree marks cards for every year needed?▾
Yes. Bring the marks card of every year or semester of your degree. The 50% is counted over all of them.
Does the college have hostel rooms for PG students?▾
MIT Mysore has hostels on the campus. It has not printed the fee, so call the admission office before you plan your money. Ask if rooms are free for PG students.
Can I work part time during the MBA or MCA?▾
Classes run on weekdays, so a regular job will be hard for you. Short internships and live projects during breaks are a better way for you to gain work skills.
What if I miss the KEA reporting date?▾
You can lose the seat. Note the date on your admission order and report on time. If you face a real problem, contact KEA before the date.
Someone is offering me a seat here for money. Is that real?▾
No. You get a seat only through KEA, COMEDK, the university or the college admission office. Do not pay any agent who promises a seat.
Where is the MIT Mysore campus?▾
It is at Belawadi, Naguvanahalli Post, Srirangapatna Taluk, Mandya District, Karnataka 571477. You report at the admission office on the campus.

MIT Mysore Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
In which subject can I do a Ph.D here?▾
MIT Mysore prints a Ph.D only in Management Sciences, guided by the MBA department. If you want research in engineering, check the VTU list of research centres first.
Which university gives the Ph.D degree?▾
The university you register with gives the degree, not the college. Check its name on your registration letter before you start.
What is the Maharaja Research Foundation?▾
It is the research body through which the MBA department guides Ph.D scholars. You do your research here, and the university you register with checks and awards the degree.
How many scholars have finished a Ph.D here?▾
The MBA department says five scholars have finished, and three are working on one now. That is a small group, so you may get more time with your guide.
Can I do a Ph.D while working?▾
Many scholars here work in companies like Infosys, TCS and IBM. You usually need a no objection letter from your employer. Check the university notice for its part time rules.
Does a UGC NET pass help?▾
Yes. Under UGC rules, a NET pass often lets you skip the university's entrance test. Bring your NET certificate when you apply.
Who gets the lower 50% mark?▾
SC, ST and Category 1 students need 50% in the master's degree instead of 55%. Bring your caste certificate when you apply.
Does the college give a fellowship to Ph.D scholars?▾
MIT Mysore has not printed a fellowship for research scholars. If you hold a UGC or ICSSR fellowship, you can bring it with you. Ask your guide about project funding too.
What should I bring to the interview?▾
Bring your research idea, your master's marks cards and a photo ID. Be ready to explain why the topic matters and how you will do it.
How do I pick a research guide?▾
Read the recent papers of teachers in the MBA department and write to the ones whose work matches your idea. A guide who has time for you matters more than a famous name.
Do I need a migration certificate for the Ph.D?▾
Yes, if your master's degree is from another university. Apply for it as soon as you are selected.
Can I get an education loan for research?▾
Yes, a bank can give one with your admission letter. A loan does not cut the fee, so plan the repayment.
Does the college have a hostel for research scholars?▾
MIT Mysore has hostels on the campus. Call the admission office to ask if a room is free for scholars.
Is the research path different from PG admission?▾
Yes. Research seats do not go through KEA or PGCET. You go through the university test, the interview and a guide instead.
Can SC and ST research scholars get a scholarship?▾
If you are SC or ST, you can apply on the Karnataka State Scholarship Portal. Keep your caste and income certificate ready.
How long does a Ph.D take?▾
The university sets the minimum and maximum years. Most scholars finish in three to five years, so plan your time and money for that.
Can I do course work while working?▾
Ask the department about the timing before you register. You must attend the course work and pass it, so plan your leave early.
Should I write a research proposal before I apply?▾
Yes. A short proposal of two or three pages helps the panel and your guide see your idea. Keep it simple: the problem, why it matters and how you will study it.
Can I apply with a master's from another state?▾
Yes, if your university is recognised and your marks meet the rule. Bring a migration certificate when you register.
Will I teach while doing a Ph.D?▾
The college has not printed a teaching rule for scholars. Some guides ask scholars to help with classes. Ask your guide at the start.
Can I change my guide later?▾
University rules allow a change in some cases, with approval. Choose your guide with care, because a change can slow your work.
Someone is offering me a seat here for money. Is that real?▾
No. You get a seat only through KEA, COMEDK, the university or the college admission office. Do not pay any agent who promises a seat.
Where is the MIT Mysore campus?▾
It is at Belawadi, Naguvanahalli Post, Srirangapatna Taluk, Mandya District, Karnataka 571477. You report at the admission office on the campus.
How do I contact the admissions team?▾
Call or WhatsApp 96202 28256 for admission questions. For other questions, call 96202 28021 or 96202 28022, or write to principal@mitmysore.in.
Is a degree from MIT Mysore valid across India?▾
Yes. The college is approved by AICTE and affiliated to VTU, so your degree comes from a state university. You can use it for jobs and higher studies.
Maharaja Institute of Technology, Mysore offers admission to the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering through Karnataka's KCET and COMEDK entrance exams. For this program, admissions are determined by entrance exam ranks and management quotas are available as an alternative for those who do not meet the cutoff. KCET ranks generally need to be within specific thresholds, with some reports indicating COMEDK cutoffs around 49,000 in certain cases.
The admission process involves online application, acceptance based on rank or management provision, and fee payment, with installment options available. Minimum eligibility requires passing the 12th grade. Students must maintain a 75% attendance rate and earn at least 40% in internals to advance. Facilities include engaging faculty, adequate academic blocks, and free transportation, which appeals particularly to local students. The college is part of the Visvesvaraya Technological University affiliation, offering degrees across various fields, and is preferred for its reasonable fees and proximity for students.
Admission is processed smoothly, with help from the college administration.
