Should you pick Ph.D Electrical and Electronics Engineering at New Horizon College of Engineering?
This course suits students who want a research and core engineering work and can live in a Bengaluru technology area for three years.
Pick it if:
You passed Master's degree in this state: half the seats are Karnataka, so a score that misses the Non Karnataka list can still get in.
You want core and automation teams: the EEE department works on smart grid, SCADA, IoT and industrial automation.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the research fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's eligibility score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's score is not a safe rank.
You need a single room from the first year: research scholars share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a Bengaluru: the campus is in Bengaluru, so labs and companies are close, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will decide only after the VTU-ETR result: the VTU choice window closes within days of it, so fill your research details before the result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Take EEE research if the interview list clears you in Karnataka. If not, keep a safer option above it.

In short
BMSCE costs less and pays more on average, but its eligibility score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take BMSCE; if it clears only NHCE, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Riverbank places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier eligibility score is what you need, keep it one place below NHCE in your application as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If NHCE gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Lakeside costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier eligibility score. If your rank misses NHCE in the early rounds, list Lakeside right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If NHCE allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on New Horizon College of Engineering Ph.D Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is Ph.D Electrical and Electronics Engineering at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.84 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 6.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the eligibility score?▾
Not on last year's score alone. The General route needs 55% in the master's degree and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer option above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get research, teaching and core jobs with core electrical, automation and IT services teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 6.5 LPA, the median was INR 6 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a electrical research job instead, EEE research centre is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a Bengaluru. Research scholars share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Bengaluru technology area, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General eligibility score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a research area change after year 1 if you want a sibling research area.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 6 LPA is lower than the average of INR 6.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your research progress above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is EEE research centre better than Power systems at this college for me?▾
Pick EEE if you want a software job and Power systems if you want a electrical research job. EEE places a bigger share of its batch with core and automation teams, and its eligibility score is the tougher of the two. If you get Power systems now and want EEE, the research area change after year 1 needs a top research progress, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the VTU-ETR exam and fill this college in your VTU application. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the first fee within the days VTU gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 1.84 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and living it comes to INR 4.84 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the research fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
