Ques. What documents should I keep ready for admission at RNSIT if I don’t belong to Karnataka?

Ans. The candidates from other states must prepare the following documents for admission at RNSIT to avoid the last-minute chaos:

  • 10th and 10+2 Scorecards
  • COMEDK/ JEE Main Rank card
  • Transfer Certificate and Migration Certificate
  • Aadhar card
  • 5 recent passport-size photographs

The candidates are advised to carry the original documents along with 2 xerox copies and scanned soft copies of each document.

Ques. Does a student get a second chance for admission at RNSIT if they missed the counselling round?

AI-Generated Summary based on 278 Reviews

RNS Institute of Technology offers the BE in Mechanical Engineering through various admission processes like COMEDK, KCET, and Management Quota. COMEDK serves as the main entrance exam for non-Karnataka students, offering a moderate difficulty with no negative marking. The application fee ranges from ?900 to ?1800 and exams are conducted once a year, typically with 180 questions over 180 minutes. A rank within 20,000 is generally needed for admission through COMEDK.

For students within Karnataka, KCET serves as an entrance exam, with lower fees and certain benefits, and ranks under 16,000 may be required. Management quota is available and often has a simpler admission process, though fees are higher. The counselling process for COMEDK and KCET generally involves three rounds and can take up to three months to finalize seat allocation. Eligibility for admission requires a pass in 10th and 12th standard examinations.

While the physical document verification can be time-consuming, the overall admission process is deemed smooth. Students are encouraged to stay updated through official portals and online resources.
