NHCE Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) offers Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering through two primary admission routes: the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) and management quota. Eligibility for KCET requires a student to have studied in Karnataka for a minimum of seven years. The KCET entrance exam involves objective-type questions in physics, chemistry, and mathematics. For admission through KCET, students typically need to secure a rank below 20,000, though cutoffs can vary each year.

Candidates who don't meet the KCET cutoff may apply through the management quota, which involves paying a specified fee directly to the college. Admission for KCET candidates includes a counseling process, payment of fees, and submission of a form obtained from the school's website. Board percentage requirements for eligibility can range from 50% to 75% in 12th grade. The counseling and verification process may take over two weeks. The fee structure for KCET candidates includes a payment of INR 1 lakh to the government and INR 50,000 to the college.

NHCE does not accept admissions through COMEDK, and students from other states must consider management quota with potential additional fees. The admissions process is noted for its clarity and smooth management, though some concerns about the speed of document verification have been mentioned.
