About Ramaiah Institute of Technology
MSRIT was founded in 1962 by Dr M S Ramaiah and is part of the Ramaiah group of institutions in north Bangalore. The campus at MSR Nagar, Mathikere, sits close to Malleshwaram and Yeshwanthpur, and shares the neighbourhood with the Ramaiah medical college and hospital. That central location makes it easy to reach by bus and metro, and many students commute from home.
The college is affiliated to VTU but has been autonomous since 2007. That means MSRIT designs its own syllabus, sets its own exams and evaluates students itself, while VTU awards the degree. Autonomy lets departments update their courses faster, which matters most in fast-moving branches such as computer science and electronics.
MSRIT features in national rankings such as NIRF every year and is usually counted among the top three private engineering colleges in Bangalore, alongside RVCE and BMSCE. Ranks change from year to year, so check the latest NIRF list rather than old figures quoted online.

MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology Admission Routes for 2027
Every B.E. seat at MSRIT is filled through one of three routes. All three are legitimate. Which one suits you depends on where you are eligible, your entrance rank and the branch you want.
| Route | Who it is for | How seats are allotted | Fee level |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCET (government quota) | Karnataka-eligible students | By KCET rank in KEA online counselling | Lowest |
| COMEDK UGET | Students from any state | By COMEDK rank in COMEDK online counselling | Higher than KCET |
| Management quota | Students who missed the rank they needed, or want a specific branch | Directly by the college, subject to eligibility and availability | Highest, varies by branch |
KCET
KCET is run by the Karnataka Examinations Authority for students who meet Karnataka eligibility rules. After results, KEA holds online counselling: you enter your college and branch choices, and seats are allotted by rank, category and choice order. Government-quota seats carry the lowest fees, which is why MSRIT’s popular branches close at very competitive KCET ranks.
COMEDK UGET
COMEDK UGET is open to students from all over India and fills a fixed share of seats in Karnataka’s private engineering colleges. Counselling works much like KEA’s, with choices and rounds, and the fee is set by COMEDK for the year. For students from other states, COMEDK is usually the most affordable route into MSRIT. See our guide for other state students.
Management quota
A share of seats is filled by the college management. This is the route when your KCET or COMEDK rank is not enough for the branch you want, or when you want certainty before counselling ends. The fee is higher and varies by branch, and seats in CSE and related branches go first. Our detailed guide to MSRIT management quota admission 2027 covers this route step by step.
Eligibility Criteria
| Programme | Eligibility (general guidelines) |
|---|---|
| B.E. | Pass in 2nd PUC or Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, plus Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or another approved subject. At least 45% aggregate in these subjects (40% for reserved categories), and a valid KCET or COMEDK rank for counselling seats. |
| B.Arch | Pass in Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with the minimum marks set by the Council of Architecture, and a valid NATA or JEE Main Paper 2 score. |
| M.Tech | B.E. or B.Tech in a relevant discipline with the prescribed minimum aggregate, and a PGCET or GATE score. |
| MBA | Any bachelor’s degree of at least three years with the prescribed minimum aggregate, and a valid PGCET or other accepted entrance score. |
| MCA | A bachelor’s degree with Mathematics at Class 12 or degree level, as per AICTE norms, and a valid PGCET score. |
KEA, COMEDK, AICTE and the college notify the exact rules each year, so check with us for the 2027 criteria before you apply.
How to Get Admission in MSRIT: Step by Step
- Write the entrance exams. Register for KCET (if you are Karnataka-eligible) and COMEDK UGET. A good rank gives you the cheapest seat and the most choice.
- Shortlist branches. Pick a first choice and one or two backups, for example CSE, then ISE or AI and ML.
- Compare your rank with past cut-offs. Use the latest round-wise allotment data from KEA and COMEDK for your branch and category.
- Take part in counselling. List MSRIT branches in your option entry and follow each round closely.
- Plan the management route early if needed. If your rank is unlikely to reach your branch, ask about management quota seats before counselling ends, because popular branches fill first.
- Confirm the seat. Report to the college with original documents and pay the fee directly to the college within the deadline. Always collect an official receipt.

MSRIT Fees for 2027
Your fee at MSRIT depends mainly on how you are admitted:
- KCET seats: tuition fixed under the Karnataka government’s fee agreement with private colleges. This is the lowest category.
- COMEDK seats: fee notified by COMEDK for the year, higher than KCET.
- Management quota seats: fee set by the college for each branch. This is the highest category, and CSE and related branches cost the most.
- Other charges: university and college fees, hostel and mess charges, and one-time admission charges are payable in addition to tuition.
Fees are revised every year, and old figures on forums are usually wrong. Read MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology management quota fees for how the fee is worked out, or call 96069 06071 for the current branch-wise figure. If you are planning to borrow, see our guide to education loans for engineering admission.
MSRIT Cut-off
MSRIT’s computer science branches, ISE, AI and ML and ECE close at very competitive KCET and COMEDK ranks. Core branches such as Civil, Mechanical, Chemical and Biotechnology usually close at higher, easier ranks. Cut-offs change by branch, category, counselling round and year, so one “MSRIT cut-off” number can mislead you. Compare your rank with the latest official round-wise data, or share your rank with us for a realistic view of your chances.
Placements
MSRIT has a dedicated training and placement department that runs aptitude and soft-skills training, internship drives and campus recruitment. IT product and services companies, core engineering firms, consulting and finance companies recruit on campus each year. Computer science and related branches usually see the highest packages, while core branches depend more on their industry’s hiring cycle.
Placement figures such as the highest, average and median packages change every year and differ by branch. The most reliable source is the data MSRIT publishes in its NIRF submission, so ask for the latest branch-wise numbers before you lock your branch.
Campus and Hostel
- Central campus in Mathikere, north Bangalore, well connected by bus and metro
- Department laboratories and research centres for each branch
- Central library with print and digital resources
- Sports facilities, auditoriums and student clubs for technical, cultural and social activities
- Hostels for boys and girls, with limited seats. Charges depend on room type and are revised every year, so confirm them with the college before booking.

MSRIT vs RVCE vs BMSCE
MSRIT, RV College of Engineering and BMS College of Engineering are often called Bangalore’s top three private engineering colleges. All three are autonomous, affiliated to VTU and admit students through KCET, COMEDK and the management quota. Choose based on your rank, branch, budget and how far you will travel.
