KSIT Admission Process
B.E. Admission
B.E. admission at KSIT follows VTU norms. Karnataka domicile students access 65% of seats through KCET, managed by KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority). The remaining seats (Management Quota, NRI Quota) are filled by KSIT after KEA rounds conclude.
- Eligibility: Class XII with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories)
- KCET route: Karnataka domicile students, based on KCET rank and branch preference
- COMEDK UGET route: All-India applicants, based on COMEDK rank
- Management Quota: JEE Main scores accepted, filled by KSIT directly after KEA/COMEDK rounds
KSIT holds VTU autonomous status, which means it sets its own syllabi and examination pattern while VTU confers the degree. NBA accreditation for CSE, ECE, and Mechanical is a quality benchmark that aspirants from these branches can factor into their choice.
M.Tech and MCA Admission
M.Tech in CSE is open to candidates with a B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science or related branches, with PGCET or GATE scores. MCA requires graduation with Mathematics as a subject, with Karnataka PGCET as the admission test. Both PG programmes are conducted under VTU affiliation.

KSIT vs New Horizon College of Engineering vs CMR Institute of Technology
Aspirants comparing private VTU-affiliated engineering colleges in Bengaluru frequently evaluate KSIT alongside New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) in Outer Ring Road and CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT) in Bangalore. All three are private VTU-autonomous engineering colleges in Bengaluru with NAAC accreditation and active placement cells.
| Parameter | KSIT | New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) | CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Kanakapura Road (South Bengaluru) | Outer Ring Road (East Bengaluru) | Hebbal (North Bengaluru) |
| Established | 1999 | 2001 | 2000 |
| VTU Autonomous | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| NAAC Grade | A+ | A+ | A+ |
| NBA | CSE, ECE, Mechanical | CSE, ECE and others | CSE, ECE and others |
| B.E. Fee Range | INR 5.06 to 9.40 Lakhs | Comparable range | Comparable range |
| 2024 Highest Package | INR 19.75 LPA | Refer NHCE placement page | Refer CMRIT placement page |
All three colleges share the NAAC A+, VTU-autonomous, and NBA-accredited profile typical of top-tier private engineering colleges in Bengaluru. KSIT’s distinguishing feature is its south Bengaluru location near Electronic City, benefiting students targeting IT park proximity. NHCE on Outer Ring Road offers better access to the east Bengaluru IT corridor (Whitefield, Marathahalli). CMRIT at Hebbal serves aspirants from north Bengaluru. Choice between them should factor in branch availability, hostel access, and location relative to placement zones.
