Should you pick BE Mechanical Engineering at Rajeev Institute of Technology?

This course suits students who want a core engineering job and can live in a small industrial town for four years.

Pick it if:

You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are Karnataka quota, so a rank that misses the COMEDK quota list can still get in.

You want core companies, not only service IT: the branch-wise placement table lists the same four core recruiters in each of the last three years.

Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.

You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.

Skip it if:

You are counting on last year's closing rank: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.

You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.

You want internships in a big city: this is a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships here.

You will wait for late counselling: Mechanical seats may fill by then, so fill your choices before the result comes.

Counsellor's advice

Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a Karnataka quota rank. If you are COMEDK quota and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

BE Mechanical Engineering Eligibility▾

Class 12 marks: 75% in Physics, Maths and one optional subject. 65% for SC, ST and PwD.

Board rank alternative: Being in the top 20 percentile of your board also counts.

Exam needed: A KCET or COMEDK rank. CRL (your main rank) decides the COMEDK quota seats.

Karnataka quota quota: Half the seats go to students who passed Class 12 in this state.

BE Mechanical Engineering Admission Process▾

Write KCET or COMEDK: Two sessions, January and April. Your best score counts.

Register on KEA or COMEDK: KEA or COMEDK (the central counselling body) allots every seat here.

Fill choices: List this college and branch high. Freeze keeps the seat, float keeps looking.

Pay the seat fee: Pay within five days of allotment or you lose the seat.

Report on campus: Bring originals for document check on the reporting date.

In short

MCE Hassan costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 5,660 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take MCE Hassan; if it clears only RIT, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.

In short

GEC Hassan places more of its batch but charges INR 91,000 less over four years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below RIT in your choice list as the safer seat.

In short

PES Mandya charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If RIT gives you a seat in any round, take it; PES Mandya belongs below it in your list, not above it.

In short

ATME Mysuru costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses RIT in the early rounds, list ATME Mysuru right below it and take whichever comes first.

In short

VVIET Mysuru is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If RIT allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep VVIET Mysuru only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Rajeev Institute of Technology BE Mechanical Engineering

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is BE Mechanical Engineering at this college worth the fee?▾

Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 4.79 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 4.50 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.

Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾

Not on last year's number alone. The GM category closed at rank 65,660 in the official RIT cutoff table, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.

What job will I get after this course?▾

Most students get core and services jobs with core and services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The latest placement batch averaged INR 4.50 LPA, the median was INR 4.20 LPA and 70% of students were placed. If you want a core mechanical job instead, this branch is not the right pick.

Who should not take this course here?▾

Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.

Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾

Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover thermal systems and machine design, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.

Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾

Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.

Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾

Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 70% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4.20 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.50 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.

Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾

Pick Mechanical if you want a core engineering job and ECE if you want a core mechanical job. Mechanical places a bigger share of its batch with core companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Mechanical, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.

How do I get admission to this course?▾

Take the KCET or COMEDK exam and fill this college in your KEA or COMEDK choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days KEA or COMEDK gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

The full 4-year fee is INR 4.79 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 7.99 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.

Can I pay the fee in parts?▾

Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.

Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾

It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
