SIT Tumkur Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Is SIT a separate university or a VTU college?▾
SIT is an autonomous college affiliated to VTU, Belagavi. It sets its own syllabus and exams, but VTU gives your degree. So your BE or B.Arch certificate shows the VTU name.
What is an SNQ seat at SIT?▾
SNQ seats are extra KCET seats for families with low income, and their tuition fee is zero. In 2026, an SNQ student in BE paid INR 52,320 in the first year. Tick SNQ on the KEA portal if your family fits the income limit.
I passed Class 12 outside Karnataka. Do I pay anything extra?▾
Yes. On a KCET seat, you pay an extra university eligibility fee of INR 1,800. You also need a migration certificate from your board, so ask for it as soon as your result is out.
Can I use my JEE Main rank to join SIT?▾
Yes, on a management seat. SIT accepts a JEE Main rank card from the current year, along with KCET and COMEDK ranks. Bring two copies of the rank card when you meet the admission office.
How do I pay the SIT part of the fee?▾
You can pay by demand draft in favour of Principal, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, payable at Tumakuru. You can also pay online by net banking, card or UPI, but bank charges are extra. Keep the receipt safe.
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, you can keep only one, so read the cancellation rules of both bodies before you decide.
What KCET rank did students need for CSE at SIT last year?▾
In 2025 to 26, general merit KCET ranks for CSE at SIT closed between 2,490 and 9,809. For ISE they closed between 8,452 and 12,432. Ranks change every year, so keep a few branches in your options.
Is Electronics and Telecommunication still offered at SIT?▾
SIT filled Electronics and Telecommunication seats in 2025 to 26. Its 2026 admission page does not list the branch. Check the KEA seat list for code E016 before you enter your options.
What is the study certificate for 7 years?▾
It is a letter from your schools that shows you studied in Karnataka for seven years. You need it for a KCET seat as a Karnataka student. Ask your school and PU college for it early, because SIT keeps the original.
When do I need a 371J certificate?▾
Only if you claim a Kalyana Karnataka seat through KEA. Bring two copies to SIT when you report. Without it, a seat for that region cannot be given to you.
Can a diploma holder join BE at SIT in the second year?▾
Yes. You write DCET, which KEA holds for diploma students, and then pick SIT in KEA counselling. Bring your diploma marks cards of all six semesters and your diploma certificate when you report.
Is there an evening BE for working people?▾
Yes. The CSE department offers an evening BE for working professionals, with 18 seats and three years of study. Ask the CSE department how to apply, because the steps differ from KCET.
Does SIT have hostels?▾
Yes. SIT has 4 boys hostels and 2 girls hostels, with room for 2,100 students. Each room has cots, tables, chairs and book racks. The hostel fee is extra, so ask the office early.
Can my parents stay on campus when they visit me?▾
Yes. SIT has a guest house where parents can stay on a small rent. They can also eat at the hostel mess. Tell your warden before the visit.
What is the INR 20,000 skill lab fee?▾
It is a yearly fee for the skill labs that SIT adds to your course. Every BE and B.Arch student pays it, on any seat type. You pay it at SIT, not at KEA.
Does SIT admit children of Indians working in the Gulf?▾
Yes, SIT lists a Gulf or CIWG quota. You need the NRI certificate from the embassy and proof that a parent has worked there for five years. Keep passport and visa copies ready.
Can students from Nepal apply to SIT?▾
Yes. SIT lists a quota for Nepal citizens. You need your citizenship card or passport, Class 10 and 12 marks cards and a migration certificate. Contact the SIT office before you travel.
How many copies of each paper should I take to SIT?▾
Take two copies of most marks cards and certificates for BE or B.Arch. Also take two photos of yourself and one of each parent. Carry the originals of your marks cards and transfer certificate.
Does SIT give scholarships from its own funds?▾
Yes. SIT gives its own merit awards, such as the Channabasappa Endowment and the Sivakumara Swamiji Scholarship. The Accounts Office tells you the rules, so ask there once classes start.
How can I get an education loan?▾
You can apply on the PM Vidyalakshmi portal with your SIT admission letter. The bank decides the amount. A loan does not cut your fee, so plan how you will pay it back.
Whom do I call if someone rags me?▾
Call the SIT anti ragging officer, Dr. K V Suresh, on 94804 08091, or write to antiragging@sit.ac.in. Report it at once; you do not need to wait.
Someone is offering me an SIT seat for money. Is that real?▾
Do not pay anyone. You get a seat at SIT only through KEA, COMEDK, VTU or the SIT office. Report such calls to the SIT office on 0816 2282696.
Where is the SIT campus?▾
SIT is on Dr. Sree Sree Sivakumara Swamiji Road, Tumakuru 572103, Karnataka. You report at the college office on the campus.
How do I contact the SIT office?▾
Call 0816 2282696, 0816 2214001 or 0816 2282994, or write to principal@sit.ac.in. You can also fill the enquiry form on the SIT website.
Is an SIT degree valid across India?▾
Yes. SIT is approved by AICTE, affiliated to VTU and accredited by NAAC with an A++ grade. You can use your degree for jobs and higher studies.

SIT Tumkur Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Can I join M.Tech at SIT with a GATE score?▾
Yes. SIT accepts a valid GATE score for M.Tech, and the seat still goes through KEA. Keep your GATE score card ready with your other papers.
Can I join the SIT MBA with a KMAT score?▾
Yes, SIT accepts KMAT for its own MBA and MCA seats. A KEA seat needs a PGCET rank, so writing both tests gives you two chances.
Which MBA specialisations can I pick at SIT?▾
There are four areas: Finance, Marketing, HR and Business Analytics. Pick the one that matches the job you want, and talk to seniors in that area before you decide.
I studied B.Com. Can I join MCA at SIT?▾
Yes, if you studied Maths, Statistics or Computer Science in your degree and scored 50%. Check your marks cards before you apply.
How is the 50% for PG worked out?▾
KEA counts your marks over all subjects of all years of your 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 in KEA counselling. If you come from another state, plan for 50%.
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. Your first choice gets the first chance, so do not put a college you do not want above one you do.
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 SIT may ask for it.
I have only a provisional degree certificate. Is that enough?▾
Yes, if your final degree certificate is not out yet. SIT accepts the provisional one at reporting. Give the final one when your university sends it.
How many copies of each paper should I take for PG?▾
SIT asks for three copies of most PG papers. That covers SSLC and PUC marks cards, degree marks cards of all semesters and the degree certificate. Also take two photos of yourself and one of each parent.
Is MCA at SIT two years or three years?▾
You study MCA for two years now. Older brochures show three years, but the MCA department lists it as a two year course.
Does SIT still offer M.Tech in Power Electronics or Digital Communication?▾
Not on the 2026 admission page. It lists only Structural, Transportation, Computer Science and VLSI. Older brochures showed more branches, so check the KEA seat list before you enter options.
What KEA rank did students need for the SIT MBA last year?▾
In 2025 to 26, general merit ranks for the SIT MBA closed between 804 and 12,579. MCA closed between 497 and 1,375. Ranks move every year, so keep other choices in your list too.
What rank did M.Tech students need at SIT last year?▾
In 2025 to 26, general merit ranks for M.Tech CSE closed between 2,750 and 4,156. VLSI closed between 3,227 and 5,084, and Structural between 2,224 and 6,737. Use these only as a guide for your options.
Can I do a Ph.D after my M.Tech at SIT?▾
Yes, you can. SIT has VTU research centres in most departments. Under VTU rules, a strong M.Tech student with 70% or a CGPA of 7.75 and published papers can also move to an integrated Ph.D after three semesters.
Does SIT have hostel rooms for PG students?▾
SIT has 4 boys hostels and 2 girls hostels on the campus. The fee is extra, so you should ask the office early about a free room.
Can I get a refund if I leave my PG seat?▾
On a KEA seat, the KEA rule for that round decides the refund. On an SIT seat, ask the office for the refund rule in writing before you pay.
Can I work while doing the MBA at SIT?▾
The MBA at SIT is a full time, two year course with regular classes over four semesters. Plan to give it full time, because attendance rules apply.
I am SC or ST on a PGCET seat. What should I do about fees?▾
Apply on the Karnataka State Scholarship Portal as soon as you join. Keep your caste and income certificate ready. Ask the SIT Accounts Office how the portal payment is adjusted against your fee.
Whom do I contact for PG admission at SIT?▾
Write to principal@sit.ac.in or call 0816 2282696. Keep your PGCET, KMAT or GATE score card ready when you call.
Someone is offering me an SIT seat for money. Is that real?▾
Do not pay anyone. You get a seat at SIT only through KEA, COMEDK, VTU or the SIT office. Report such calls to the SIT office on 0816 2282696.

SIT is on Dr. Sree Sree Sivakumara Swamiji Road, Tumakuru 572103, Karnataka. You report at the college office on the campus.

SIT Tumkur Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

Is the Ph.D degree given by SIT or VTU?▾
VTU gives the degree, because SIT is affiliated to VTU. Your certificate shows the VTU name.
Can I apply with a NET or GATE score?▾
Keep your NET or GATE score card with your papers, because SIT lists it among the research documents. Ask the research centre whether your score lets you skip VTU-ETR in this cycle.
What is the SIT research assistantship?▾
Full time scholars can get a research assistantship for three years after they clear the SIT test. Ask the research centre about the amount and the work you will do for it.
How is M.Sc (Engg) by Research different from a Ph.D?▾
M.Sc (Engg) by Research is a master's degree you earn through research after a BE. A Ph.D is the highest degree and needs a master's first. If you have only a BE, you can start with the M.Sc (Engg).
Can I move from M.Sc (Engg) to a Ph.D at SIT?▾
Yes, under VTU rules. If you score a CGPA of 7.75 or 70% in the first two semesters and publish papers, you can ask to move to an integrated Ph.D.
Which departments take Ph.D scholars at SIT?▾

Do I need a medical fitness certificate?▾
Yes. SIT lists a medical fitness certificate among the research admission papers. Get it from a registered doctor before you report.
Do I need a migration certificate?▾
Yes, if your degree is from a university outside Karnataka. Apply for it as soon as you are selected, because it can take a few weeks.

Read the recent papers of SIT faculty in your area. Write to the ones whose work matches your idea, and mention it in your statement of purpose.
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 how you will pay it back.
