VVIET Mysore BE Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to colleges in Karnataka is based on the state pre-university board exam and the Common Entrance Test (CET). High rankings in CET help secure seats in top colleges, while lower rankings may require opting for costlier management seats. The reviewer obtained a seat in Vidya Vikas College for Mechanical Engineering through the CET's government quota. The department has 8 faculty members, including 6 permanent and experienced ones. The head of the department holds a PhD in tool design, and senior lecturers specialize in operations and project management.

The general merit college fee is about 17,000 INR annually, while the management fee is around 50,000 INR. Students under the government quota pay 49,000 INR to VTU and 24,000 INR to the college, totaling 70,000 INR in the first year. Over four years, the college fee increased by 5,000 INR to 75,000 INR. Initially, the college had limited campus placements, with low selection rates of 2-5%. However, the placement department has become more active, improving training for aptitude and technical rounds.

Although the number of visiting companies remains low, students participate in off-campus placements. Many students have recently been placed in companies like Infosys, Wipro, and Cognizant. Scholarships, including the Vidyasiri scholarship, offer fee concessions, and students can access bank loans despite high interest rates. Overall, various government scholarships benefit the students.
