Yes. Non-Karnataka students can apply for B.Tech and BE through COMEDK UGET, which is open to students across India. For merit-based programmes like BBA, B.Com, and BCA, there is no state restriction. For BPT and B.Sc MIT/MLT, students must check RGUHS and KEA eligibility norms for non-Karnataka applicants.
