NHCE Bangalore Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
My name on Aadhaar is spelt differently from my SSLC marks card. What should I do?▾
Fix it before you register. KEA wants the same name on your SSLC marks card, Aadhaar and caste certificate. Change the Aadhaar spelling first, so your claims are not rejected later.
Is the KCET fee lower for SC and ST students?▾
Yes. Last year, KCET cost INR 250 if you are SC, ST or Category 1 from Karnataka. Other Karnataka students paid INR 500, so you pay half.
I studied Class 12 outside Karnataka. Can I still write KCET?▾
Yes. You pay INR 750 as the KCET fee. Whether you can claim a Karnataka seat depends on the KEA eligibility clauses, so read them in the KCET bulletin before you apply.
Is KRLMPCA UGCET only for minority students?▾
No. The KRLMPCA form asks if you belong to a minority community and tells you to write General if you do not. So you can take the test even if you are not from a minority group.
How do I submit the KRLMPCA UGCET form?▾
Last year, you gave the filled form to the college office with INR 1,000 in cash. Attach copies of your II PUC marks card, SSLC marks card, Aadhaar and one recent photo. You do not need attested copies.
Can I fill the KRLMPCA form before my Class 12 result is out?▾
Yes. The form lets you write results are awaited in the marks section. Give your marks to the college once your result comes.
Which KCET ranks got a CSE seat at NHCE last year?▾
In 2025 to 2026, CSE seats on KCET went from rank 9,060 to 17,249. Use this only as a guide, because ranks change every year.
Which KCET ranks got AI and ML or ECE seats last year?▾
In 2025 to 2026, AI and ML went from rank 10,279 to 17,915. ECE went from 12,845 to 21,760. Add both to your options if your rank is close.
Is it easier to get EEE or Mechanical on KCET?▾
Yes, the ranks were wider last year. EEE went from rank 32,642 to 41,753, and Mechanical from 56,130 to 73,869. If your rank is higher, list these too.
Does a good KCET rank lower my NHCE fee?▾
Yes. In the 2025 to 2026 table, a rank from 1 to 1,000 got the full fee cut. Ranks up to 3,000 got 50%, and ranks up to 5,000 got 25%. Ask the admission office if the 2027 table is the same.
I scored 85% in Class 12. Do I get any reward?▾
Yes. Last year, first year B.E. students with 85% or more got INR 20,000. If you studied at a New Horizon PU college, you got INR 25,000.
Do sports players get fee help at NHCE?▾
Yes. A national level winner or best player got INR 20,000, and a state level one got INR 15,000. If you studied at a New Horizon college, you got INR 5,000 more.
Can I get a government scholarship at NHCE?▾
Yes, if you qualify. NHCE has a team that helps you apply on the National Scholarship Portal and the State Scholarship Portal. Apply soon after you join, so you do not miss the window.
Which NHCE B.E. courses are NBA accredited?▾
CSE, ECE, EEE and Mechanical Engineering are accredited by NBA. AI and ML is not on that list yet, so ask the college if this matters to you.
Does NHCE still offer CSE (Data Science) and Information Science?▾
The 2025 to 2026 seat list shows only five B.E. courses, and these two are not in it. Ask the admission office before you pick them on any form.
What happens to KEA seats that nobody takes?▾
After all KEA rounds end, those seats go back to the college. NHCE then fills them, so you may still get a seat late in the year if you keep in touch.
Can NHCE give its management seats to KEA?▾
Yes. The college can hand some of its 30% seats to KEA before round 1. Those seats then go by KCET rank, which helps you if your rank is good.
How many students applied for management seats last year?▾
NHCE got 404 management seat applications and admitted 378 students across its courses. Apply early, because the form closed in July.
Can a Biology student join B.E. at NHCE?▾
Yes, if you also studied Physics and Maths. Biology can be your third subject, and your total across all three must meet the mark rule.
What should I keep ready for KEA document checks?▾
Keep your SSLC and II PUC marks cards, Aadhaar, and caste or income certificates if you claim a reserved seat. If you claim a Karnataka seat, carry your study certificates too.
How do I pay my NHCE fee online?▾
NHCE takes fees through the HDFC and Indian Bank payment links on its website. Use only these links, and save every receipt.
When did B.E. classes start in the last session?▾
In the 2025 to 2026 session, classes began on 27 Oct 2025. The 2027 start comes after the last KEA round, so watch the college website.
Someone is offering me an NHCE seat for money. Is that real?▾
Do not pay anyone outside KEA, KRLMPCA or the NHCE admission office. Pay fees only through the official links, and ask the college if you are unsure.
Where is the NHCE campus?▾
The campus is at New Horizon Knowledge Park, Ring Road, Bellandur Post, Bengaluru 560103. It is near Marathahalli, so plan your travel before reporting day.
Is an NHCE degree valid across India?▾
Yes. NHCE is autonomous and affiliated to VTU, and VTU gives your degree. You can use it for jobs and higher studies anywhere in India.
Whom do I contact at NHCE for admission help?▾
Email admissionsnhce@newhorizonindia.edu or call +91 98805 34935. Keep your application number ready when you write or call.

NHCE Bangalore Admission FAQs
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
Can a student from outside Karnataka get a KEA MBA seat at NHCE?▾
Only seats that the management gives up to KEA are open to you through PGCET. Most students from other states apply for a management seat with a KMAT or MAT score.
What if I cancel my KEA MBA seat after round 1?▾
If you cancel before the last date for round 2 option entry, KEA keeps INR 5,000 and returns the rest. After round 2, you lose the full fee, so decide carefully.
Is there fee help for SC and ST students in the MBA?▾
Yes. If your family income is under INR 2.5 Lakhs, you pay no fee up to the government college fee. Between INR 2.5 Lakhs and INR 10 Lakhs, you get half of that.
I am a Category 1 student. How does the fee work?▾
In a private college like NHCE, the government college fee is cut from your fee. You pay only the balance, so keep your income certificate ready.
Which names must match on my PGCET documents?▾
The name on your SSLC marks card must match your Aadhaar and caste certificate. Fix any difference before you register, or your claims can be stopped.
Which PGCET ranks got an MBA seat at NHCE last year?▾
In 2025 to 2026, KEA MBA seats at NHCE went from rank 61 to 7,659. In 2024 to 2025, the range was 697 to 9,697, so your rank need not be very high.
Can I write both the MBA and MCA papers?▾
Yes. Last year, the MBA paper was in the morning and the MCA paper in the afternoon on 14 Jun 2026. You can register for both if you are eligible.
How long is the PGCET MBA paper?▾
It has 100 questions for 100 marks, and you get two hours. Last year it ran from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, so practise full mock papers in that time.
Why did the MBA test date change last year?▾
KEA moved it from 24 May to 14 Jun 2026 because the UPSC prelims fell on the same day. Check KEA notices often, so you do not miss a date change.
Does KEA publish answer keys for PGCET?▾
Yes. Last year, KEA posted the MBA key on 15 Jun 2026 and a revised key on 18 Jun 2026. Check your answers and raise an objection in the time given.
What is the mock seat result?▾
It shows where your options might place you before the real round. Last year it came on 19 Sep 2026. Use it to change your options if needed.
Is the NHCE MBA approved by AICTE?▾
Yes. The MBA is on NHCE's list of AICTE approved programmes. You can check the approval on the AICTE site too, before you pay.
Does the NHCE MBA ask for work experience?▾
No. NHCE's rule asks only for a bachelor's degree with the required marks. Work experience is not needed to apply.
My degree is from a university outside Karnataka. What extra step is there?▾
KEA checks your degree against the VTU equivalence list. Make sure your degree is on it before you apply, and keep your migration certificate ready.
Is there a merit scholarship in the NHCE MBA?▾
NHCE's published rank and marks table covers first year B.E. only. Ask the admission office if any MBA award is open for 2027.
Can I get a government scholarship for the MBA?▾
Yes, if you qualify. NHCE has a team that helps you apply on the National Scholarship Portal and the State Scholarship Portal after you join.
How many MBA students joined NHCE last year?▾
NHCE admitted 180 MBA students in 2025 to 2026, so all seats were filled. If you want a management seat, apply early.
Which specialisations can I combine in the MBA?▾
You can pair any two of the five areas, with one as your major. Finance or Business Analytics suits number work, and Marketing or HR suits people work, so think about the job you want.
Can I pick Business Analytics without a Maths degree?▾
NHCE does not ask for a Maths degree for any MBA area. If you are not confident with numbers, take a short Excel or statistics course before classes.
Is the NHCE MBA full time?▾
Yes. It is a full time programme of two years with four semesters. You attend classes on campus in Bellandur, so plan where you will stay.
How do I pay the MBA fee online?▾
NHCE takes fees through the HDFC and Indian Bank payment links on its website. Use only these links, and keep the receipts safe.
Who gives the MBA degree at NHCE?▾
VTU gives your degree. NHCE is autonomous, so it sets its own syllabus and exams, but your certificate is from VTU.

Do I need to write PGCET if I have a GATE score?▾
No, as long as your GATE score is still valid and meets your category's pass mark. Registration and payment on the KEA portal are still needed, and GATE students are placed first, so you gain.
Which PGCET ranks got an M.Tech seat at NHCE last year?▾
In 2025 to 2026, KEA M.Tech seats went from rank 4,197 to 5,336. GATE students are placed before PGCET ranks, so a GATE score helps you.
How many M.Tech students joined last year?▾
NHCE admitted 12 M.Tech students in 2025 to 2026, out of 18 seats. A small batch means more time with your guide.
Can an ECE graduate apply for M.Tech CSE at NHCE?▾
No. NHCE lists only a B.E. or B.Tech in CSE or Information Science for this M.Tech. Look for an M.Tech in your own branch instead.
Are the MCA and M.Tech approved by AICTE?▾
Yes. Both are on NHCE's list of AICTE approved programmes. You can check the approval on the AICTE site too.
What if I cancel my KEA seat after round 1?▾
If you cancel before the last date for round 2 option entry, KEA keeps INR 5,000 and returns the rest. After round 2, you lose the full fee.
Is there fee help for SC and ST students in MCA or M.Tech?▾
Yes. If your family income is under INR 2.5 Lakhs, you pay no fee up to the government college fee. Between INR 2.5 Lakhs and INR 10 Lakhs, you get half of that.
Can a student from outside Karnataka get a KEA MCA seat?▾
Only seats that the management gives up to KEA are open to you. Most students from other states apply for a management seat with a KMAT or MAT score.
Which names must match on my PGCET documents?▾
The name on your SSLC marks card must match your Aadhaar and caste certificate. Fix any difference before you register.
Who admits Ph.D scholars at NHCE?▾
VTU does. NHCE departments are VTU research centres, so you apply on the VTU research notice and choose an NHCE centre.
How often can I apply for a Ph.D or M.Sc (Engg) at NHCE?▾
Twice a year. NHCE says VTU invites research forms in February and June, so you get two chances each year.
Is there a fellowship for Ph.D scholars at NHCE?▾
NHCE has not published one. If you hold UGC NET JRF, your own fellowship stays with you.
What is the difference between M.Sc (Engg) by Research and a Ph.D?▾
M.Sc (Engg) by Research is a research master's for B.E. or B.Tech graduates. A Ph.D needs a master's degree first, so pick the one that fits your degree.
I am working. What extra paper do I need for research admission?▾
Bring a no objection letter from your employer when you register. Keep your original marks cards and degree ready too.
Is there an NHCE scholarship for MCA or M.Tech?▾
NHCE's published rank and marks table covers first year B.E. only. Ask the admission office if any PG award is open for 2027.

NHCE takes fees through the HDFC and Indian Bank payment links on its website. Use only these links, and keep the receipts.
Someone is offering me an NHCE seat for money. Is that real?▾
Do not pay anyone outside KEA, KRLMPCA or the NHCE admission office. Pay fees only through the official links, and ask the college if you are unsure.
Where is the NHCE campus?▾
The campus is at New Horizon Knowledge Park, Ring Road, Bellandur Post, Bengaluru 560103. It is near Marathahalli, so plan your travel before reporting day.

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.
