AI-Generated Summary based on 289 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.

This was the only college I wanted to join after my boards because this college has everything a student requires to accomplish his/her dreams in the engineering background.
