Eligibility for B.Tech Admission 2026

• Pass in 10+2 (PUC / equivalent) with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, plus one of Chemistry / Biology / Electronics / Computer Science.
• Minimum aggregate marks as per Karnataka norms (general category typically 45%, with relaxation for reserved categories).
• A valid KCET or COMEDK UGET rank for the respective quota; management-quota applicants are considered on eligibility.

Admission Routes — KCET, COMEDK & Management Quota

There are three main ways to secure a seat at NHCE:

• KCET (KEA): Karnataka government counselling — seats allotted by rank, category and option entry.
• COMEDK UGET: Consortium entrance test for private engineering seats in Karnataka.
• Management Quota (Direct Admission): A limited number of seats offered directly to eligible students — ideal if your KCET/COMEDK rank is just outside the cutoff or you want a specific high-demand branch like CSE / AI&ML.
• Sports Quota: For candidates with a strong sporting record, subject to college norms.

TurtleEdu helps you compare these routes and choose the one that best fits your rank, branch preference and budget.

Fees Structure 2026 (Approximate Guide)

Engineering fees in Bangalore vary by quota and branch — KCET/government-quota seats are the most affordable, COMEDK seats sit in the middle, and management-quota seats are higher, with computer-science branches (CSE, AI&ML, Data Science) generally costing more than core branches.
