The campus sits on the Bengaluru-Hyderabad highway about 60 km from Bengaluru, making it accessible for weekend travel.

Ans. SJCIT became autonomous under VTU, Belagavi, from the 2024-25 academic session. Autonomous status allows the college to design its own curriculum, set internal examination patterns, and update elective offerings without waiting for university-level approval cycles. For the AI and ML programme, this means the department can incorporate newer tools, frameworks, and industry projects into course work more quickly than a fully affiliated college could.

Students allotted under KCET must also carry the KEA allotment letter. Submitting photocopies of all documents at the time of reporting is mandatory for record verification by the admissions office.
