Ans. Yes, KEA KCET Round 1 counselling is currently underway in June 2026.

RRIT Bangalore Admissions: Students' Opinion

  • BE

AI-Generated Summary based on 35 Reviews

The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering at RR Institute of Technology requires a minimum of 50% marks in the science stream with mathematics. Students can apply online through the college website, with an application fee of INR 1000. Admissions are based on Karnataka CET (KCET) exam ranks ranging from 46,000 to 69,000 for general category students, while SC/ST students with ranks between 80,000 and 1.2 lakh may also qualify.

Additional benefits are available for rural and Kannada medium quota students. The admission process involves document verification, and early applicants might access reduced fees without requiring donations. The management quota seats are available, priced higher than the government quota. NRI seats come at a premium. While some students find the admission process straightforward, others note difficulties due to documentation requirements and perceived biases during admissions. Despite criticism of certain admission staff and occasional bureaucratic hurdles, the college's affordable fee structure makes it an accessible option for many students.

The course's difficulty aligns with the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) standards, with feedback indicating reasonably challenging question papers.
