Admission:

I chose this college over other colleges because this was a new university which started last year that is in 2024. I felt that i might get many advatages out of it because they r starting everything new.. New methods of teaching... Processes..so i thought it would help me a lot by providing more facilities to improve my skills to get placed. I didn't try any other college because this was the first college in my mind and i went to this itself. The admission process is not that complicated... If students r willing to join through kcet they'll get reduced with the fee, if they r willing to join through management they have pay the whole fee. There is no exams for admissions.

Admission:

- Talking about me choosing this college over other colleges is because Siddaganga Institute of Technology comes in the top 10 colleges in the entire Karnataka and also has an NIRF ranking below 100. - I had applied various other colleges in Bangalore, but my ranking from KCET was 10,072 which was too high as per the cutoff put by those colleges so I couldn't get colleges in Bangalore and I landed in here. - I didn't get any rejections from other colleges as I had a good ranking in KCET exam along with an aggregate of 93.3% in my 12th. It was just the cutoff of the colleges that made me land in this college and I don't regret being here as I am happy that I am in one of the best colleges in Karnataka. - The admission procedure is simple. If you are coming through KCET or ComedK, then the seats will be alloted by the respective board and these students just come with the required or mentioned documents and just come and do admission in here. If the student is coming through Management seat then he has a different procedure. - There is no particular eligibilty criteria for admission in here, just one thing matter is the students rank which must be below the cutoff mentioned by the college. - The exam most preferred by the students is KCET, whose cutoff varies as per the branch they want admission for.
