SJCIT Admission FAQs

Ques. What is the minimum eligibility to apply for B.E. at SJCIT?

Ans. To apply for B.E. at SJCIT, candidates must have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics plus one of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Electronics, or Biology. The minimum aggregate required is 45% for General category candidates and 40% for SC/ST/OBC candidates. This eligibility applies to both government quota (KCET/COMEDK/JEE Main) and management quota routes.

Ques. What does SJCIT's autonomous status mean for students?

Ans. SJCIT was granted autonomous status by UGC and VTU in 2024-25 for a period of 10 years (until 2035). As an autonomous institution, SJCIT designs its own curriculum, question papers, and internal assessment structure. The degree, however, is still awarded by VTU. The admission process through KCET, COMEDK UGET, and KEA counselling remains unchanged. Students benefit from a more industry-relevant and frequently updated curriculum compared to regular VTU-affiliated colleges.

Ques. Are fees at SJCIT fixed for all 4 years or do they change every year?

Ans. For government quota seats, fee revisions at SJCIT follow Karnataka Fee Regulatory Committee (KFRC) guidelines, meaning fee hikes are regulated and capped. For management quota seats, nominal annual revisions may apply. SJCIT discloses the updated fee structure at the start of each academic year. Students on government quota typically experience stable, predictable fee structures across the full program duration. It is advisable to confirm the full fee estimate at the time of admission counselling.

Ques. Can I get B.E. CSE at SJCIT without a KCET score?

Ans. Yes. SJCIT accepts students to its B.E. programs under the Management Quota without a mandatory KCET score. Candidates can apply based on their Class 12 marks or with a valid COMEDK UGET or JEE Main score. The minimum eligibility of 45% in 10+2 with PCM (40% for SC/ST/OBC) remains mandatory for all routes. Under management quota, Class 12 merit plays a larger role than entrance rank, subject to seat availability.
