Navkis College of Engineering in Hassan offers a two-year, full-time MCA. Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) awards the degree and AICTE approves the course. The course started in 2023-24, so it is still new. The college sits on a 12-acre campus in the KIADB industrial area at Thimmanahally, on NH75. The full fee for a KEA seat is INR 1.39 Lakhs for two years, without hostel. You get a seat through the Karnataka PGCET and KEA counselling, which filled 28 seats here in 2026. The General seat closed at rank 14,552 in round 1 of 2026. The college does not publish an MCA average pay in LPA, and 62.5% of its students across all courses were placed.
The total fee for a KEA seat is INR 1.39 Lakhs for two years. It is INR 1.43 Lakhs if your degree is from outside Karnataka. The tuition fee is INR 1.16 Lakhs of that. You pay INR 57,750 as tuition and INR 11,880 as the VTU fee every year. KEA fixes the tuition fee and VTU fixes its own fee. The college publishes no hostel fee, so ask the admission office before you book a room.
