SJEC Mangalore Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

What code do I type for SJEC during KCET option entry?▾
Type E129. This is the SJEC college code on the KEA portal. Check the code twice before you save your list, so you do not pick another college by mistake.
I studied outside Karnataka. Can I still get a CET seat at SJEC?▾
A CET seat needs you to count as a Karnataka student under KEA rules, which look at where you studied. If you do not qualify, you can still try for a KRLMPCA quota, management or NRI seat. Read the KEA rules for your case before you apply.
What does an SNQ seat mean?▾
SNQ seats are extra seats on which you pay no tuition fee, meant for families with low income. You get one through KCET counselling. For the 2026 batch, an SNQ student still paid INR 45,520 in the first year for university and other college charges.
Which KCET rank got CSE at SJEC in 2025?▾
In 2025, the round 1 closing rank for CSE in the general merit list was 22,379. By round 3 it moved to 30,458. Ranks change with category and round, so use the rank checker on the SJEC website with your own category.
Which BE branches were easier to get through KCET in 2025?▾
Civil and Mechanical closed at much higher ranks. In round 1 general merit, Civil closed at 1,39,620 and Mechanical at 86,727. So you have a better chance in these branches if your rank is not very high.
Is there a quota for students from Gulf countries?▾
Yes. SJEC has extra seats for foreign nationals, OCI card holders and children of Indian workers in Gulf countries. These are 15% over the normal seats, and one third of them are for Gulf workers' children. In BE they are offered in CSE, CSBS, AI and ML and ECE.
What papers does a Gulf quota student need?▾
You need your entrance rank copy, your passport, your parents' passports and your parent's visa or work permit. You also need an NRI certificate from the embassy and a signed, sealed letter from your parent's company.
Do NRI students pay a different BE fee?▾
Yes. For the 2026 batch, the first year NRI fee was INR 6,51,410 for CSE, CSE (Data Science) and AI and ML, and INR 5,01,410 for ECE. From the second year, you pay the same fee as the Gulf quota.
Is there an extra fee if my Class 12 board was outside Karnataka?▾
Yes, the university adds an eligibility fee. If you come from another state or a SAARC country, it is INR 3,600. If your earlier study was outside VTU but inside Karnataka, it is INR 1,800, and NRI students pay INR 15,600.
What is the skill lab fee in the BE fee?▾
It is INR 15,000 a year for skill labs, and it is part of every BE seat type. It is already inside the first year total on the fee notice, so you do not pay it twice.
Can I join BE in the second year after a diploma?▾
Yes, through DCET, the diploma test held by KEA. SJEC had 123 lateral entry seats in the 2025 batch. For the 2026 batch, a lateral entry student on a CET seat paid INR 1,42,770 in that year.
Is SJEC autonomous, and who gives the degree?▾
Yes, SJEC is autonomous, so it sets its own syllabus and exams. Your degree is still given by VTU Belagavi. The college is approved by AICTE and has a NAAC A+ grade, so your degree is valid for jobs and higher study.
Does SJEC have a hostel for first year students?▾
Yes. SJEC has separate hostels for boys and girls, with a new fee list for fresh admissions every year. The hostel fee is not part of the college fee, so plan for it on its own.
Is there a scholarship for girls in BE?▾
Yes. The AICTE Pragati scheme helps girl students in technical courses. You apply on the National Scholarship Portal in your first year, with a family income certificate from the state government.
Which scholarship helps students with high Class 12 marks?▾
The Central Sector Scheme helps students who scored above 80% in Class 12. Your family income must be up to INR 4.5 Lakhs a year. Apply on the National Scholarship Portal before the last date in your first year.
I chose Civil or Mechanical. Is there a special scholarship?▾
Yes. The AICTE Yashasvi scheme supports students in core branches like Civil, Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical. Your family income must be up to INR 8 Lakhs a year, and you apply on the Yashasvi portal.
Can I get a state portal scholarship on a management seat?▾
No. SJEC says the State Scholarship Portal help is only for CET seat students. If you need this support, try hard for a CET seat through KCET.
Will I get my fee back if I cancel my BE seat?▾
SJEC follows the UGC fee refund policy. If you cancel before the cut off date, you get your fee back, and at most INR 1,000 is kept as a processing charge. After that the refund gets smaller, so decide early.
Is there a scholarship for girls in BBA or BCA?▾
Yes. The AICTE Saraswati scheme helps girl students in the first year of BBA or BCA. Your family income must be below INR 8 Lakhs a year, and you apply on the Saraswati portal.
What should I bring to the BBA or BCA counselling talk?▾
Bring your Class 12 and Class 10 marks cards in original, with two copies each. Also bring your Aadhaar, photos and a caste certificate if you have one. Be ready to say why you picked the course.
Which new subjects does the SJEC BCA teach?▾
You study Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing and Automation. You also do live projects and in house internships, so you get practical work early.
Is Robotics and Automation a new BE branch?▾
Yes. It mixes mechanical subjects with robots, PLC, sensors, machine vision and AI. For the 2026 batch, its KRLMPCA quota fee matched Mechanical, at INR 1,21,410 in the first year.
What is a KRLMPCA quota seat?▾
SJEC is a religious minority college, so some private seats come under the minority colleges' association, KRLMPCA. Its fee is between the CET and management fees. Ask the Admission Cell which entrance rank it accepts for 2027.
Do I have to visit SJEC after KEA gives me a seat?▾
Yes. After you pay the fee, you must report at the college with your original papers before the last date on your admission order. If you miss it, you can lose the seat.
Someone promises me an SJEC seat for money. Is it real?▾
No. Seats come only through KEA, the college Admission Cell or the official quota steps. Do not pay any agent, and call the Admission Cell on +91 99726 95972 if you are unsure.
Where is the SJEC campus?▾
SJEC is at Vamanjoor, Mangaluru, Karnataka 575028. You can email admissions@sjec.ac.in to plan a campus visit before you join.
Who manages SJEC?▾
SJEC is run under the Diocese of Mangalore and is a Christian religious minority college. It is affiliated to VTU Belagavi, so your degree is a VTU degree.
How do I contact the SJEC Admission Cell?▾
Call +91 99726 95972 or +91 99729 32972, or email admissions@sjec.ac.in. You can also fill the enquiry form on the college website, and the team calls you back.

SJEC Mangalore Admission FAQs

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

What are the SJEC codes for MBA and MCA on the KEA portal?▾
The MBA code is B300 and the MCA code is C484. Type the right code when you fill your choices, and check it once more before you lock the list.
Can I still join the SJEC MBA or MCA in the 2026 batch?▾
For the 2026 batch, KEA extended the first round fee date to 9 Oct 2026 and the reporting date to 11 Oct 2026. Later rounds may follow for empty seats. Watch the KEA website for the next notice if you missed round 1.
What does MBA IEV mean?▾
IEV stands for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Development. It suits you if you want to start or grow a business. Its fee and admission steps match the regular MBA.
How many students joined MBA IEV in 2025?▾
Only 3 students joined against 30 seats in 2025. A small class can mean more time with teachers, but ask the college about the plan for the course before you choose it.
How much more does a Gulf quota MBA seat cost?▾
For the 2026 batch, a Gulf quota MBA seat cost INR 3,02,400 in the first year. That is INR 1,86,000 more than a PGCET seat, so plan your money early if you use this quota.
Is there an extra fee if my degree is not from VTU?▾
Yes, an eligibility fee is added. If your degree is from another Karnataka university, you pay INR 1,800 more. From another state or a SAARC country, you pay INR 3,600 more.
Can I use a CMAT score for a management MBA seat?▾
Yes. SJEC accepts KMAT or CMAT for a management MBA seat, along with your degree marks. Send your scorecard with the SJEC PG form.
Does the MCA management seat accept CMAT?▾
SJEC lists PGCET or KMAT for MCA management seats, not CMAT. If you only have a CMAT score, ask the Admission Cell before you apply.
I did B.Com without Maths in Class 12. Can I do MCA?▾
Only if you studied Maths in your degree. The MCA needs Maths at Class 12 or in graduation, unless you hold a BCA or B.Tech in Computer Science.
Are there extra MBA and MCA seats for NRI and Gulf students?▾
Yes. SJEC has 18 extra seats each in MBA and MCA for foreign nationals, OCI holders and children of Gulf workers. Of these, 6 seats in each are for Gulf workers' children.
Is there a scholarship for PG students from low income families?▾
Yes. The UGC National Scholarship for Post Graduate Studies is for families earning less than INR 2.5 Lakhs a year. You apply on the National Scholarship Portal after you join.
Can I apply on the State Scholarship Portal on a PGCET seat?▾
SJEC lists the state portal for students who came through a CET, so a government seat is the safe way. SC, ST, minority and backward class students apply after joining, and the college office approves the form.
Will I get my fee back if I leave the MBA early?▾
SJEC follows the UGC fee refund policy. You get the most back if you cancel before the cut off date, with at most INR 1,000 kept. Later, the refund drops, so decide quickly.
What should I bring when I report for a PGCET seat?▾
Bring the KEA seat confirmation slip, the fee receipt and your degree marks cards for all semesters. Also bring the provisional degree certificate, Class 10 and Class 12 marks cards, a transfer certificate and photos.
Does SJEC help MBA and MCA students with placements?▾
Yes. The Training and Placement Cell gives you training, internships and skill programmes. You also get chances to meet recruiters who visit the campus.
What does the training and placement fee cover?▾
The PG fee includes INR 9,000 a year for training and placement. It is part of the other college fees, so you do not pay it on its own.
Is there a skill lab fee for MBA or MCA?▾
No. The 2026 PG fee list has no skill lab fee. You pay the tuition fee, the university fee and other college fees only.
How much is the university fee for PG students?▾
It was INR 10,080 a year for the 2026 batch, for both MBA and MCA. It is already inside your yearly total, so you do not pay it twice.
Does the MCA include real project work?▾
Yes. The MCA builds advanced computing and software skills for IT jobs. You work on real projects and case studies along with your classes.
Can I write PGCET in my final year of graduation?▾
Yes, you can. You must clear your degree with the needed marks before admission, or the seat can be cancelled. Keep your final marks card ready for the document check.
Are many women in the SJEC MBA and MCA classes?▾
Yes. In the 2025 batch, 66 of the 111 MBA students were women. In MCA, 57 of the 116 students were women, so you study in a well mixed class.
Is PGCET a computer based test?▾
No. Last year, the MBA and MCA papers were pen and paper tests on an OMR sheet. Practise filling the bubbles neatly, because a wrong mark on the sheet can cost you.
How many students joined the SJEC MBA and MCA in 2025?▾
In 2025, 111 students joined the MBA against 120 seats, and 116 joined the MCA against 120. So both programmes filled almost fully, and you should apply in the first round.
Someone promises me an SJEC seat for money. Is it real?▾

Meet the head of the department in your subject. They tell you about guides, open seats and the next VTU notice, so you can plan early.
What labs can Mechanical research scholars use?▾
The labs include a pin on disc wear tester, a computer controlled diesel engine test rig, an exhaust gas analyser and ANSYS Fluent software. Ask your guide which ones fit your topic.
Is there a fellowship for full time research scholars?▾
National bodies like CSIR and UGC give fellowships to scholars who qualify through their own tests. SJEC has not printed its own amount, so ask the department.
Can a BE graduate apply directly for a Ph.D?▾
No. A Ph.D needs a master's degree. With a BE, you can start with M.Sc (Engg) by Research instead and move on later.
Is an MBA graduate eligible for the Ph.D?▾
Yes. A master's degree in management with 60% is accepted by VTU. Talk to the department about a guide in your area of interest.
Does SJEC publish the number of research seats?▾
No figure is published. Seats depend on how many guides have space in each subject, so ask the department head for the current count.
Does SJEC have a library for research?▾
Yes. SJEC has a central library along with research labs and centres. You can use journals and books there for your literature study.
Is SJEC accredited by NAAC?▾
Yes, SJEC has a NAAC A+ grade and is approved by AICTE. This gives you confidence in the college where you do your research.
What careers can a research degree lead to?▾
You can work in research, teaching in colleges or senior roles in industry. Many scholars also go on to teach at engineering colleges.
Do I need a research plan before the interview?▾
Yes, it helps a lot. Write a short plan of one or two pages on your topic, the problem and your method, and bring it to the interview.
Can I apply for research in both VTU windows of a year?▾
Yes. VTU usually opens two windows a year. If you miss the first, you can apply in the second, as long as your test result is still valid.
Do working scholars need a letter from their employer?▾
Yes. If you work while you study, bring a no objection letter from your employer at registration. Without it, your registration can be held back.
What does the M.Sc (Engg) by Research involve?▾
It is a master's degree earned mainly through research, not classroom subjects. You do some coursework, work on a project with a guide and submit a thesis.
Someone promises me an SJEC seat for money. Is it real?▾
