VTU Course Admission 2025: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) offers admission to its B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering program through various entrance exams and processes. The primary modes of admission are through the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) and COMEDK exams. KCET is aimed at Karnataka students, whereas COMEDK is often preferred by non-Karnataka students. The KCET rank cutoff for Computer Science typically ranges from 1 to 15,000 for general category students. Ranks can be higher for reserved categories, stretching up to 40,000.

The admission process also accommodates management quota entries, generally entailing a higher fee structure. Besides KCET and COMEDK, candidates can gain entry through management quota with direct admission. Students need to secure a minimum of 60% in their 12th or equivalent and may require additional documents like proof of income if seeking certain reserved category benefits. Application for entrance exams can face some difficulties due to website issues but is otherwise straightforward, involving mainly online form submissions.

The applicants must keep in mind the specific admission timelines and rounds of counseling to secure a seat. The program offers a less expensive option compared to other private institutions, making it favorable for students considering cost-effective education within Karnataka.
