Among the BE options, CSE, AI and ML, Data Science, ISE, and VLSI Design attract the strongest demand during KCET and COMEDK counselling. The Aeronautical Engineering branch is not commonly offered by private engineering colleges affiliated with VTU.

AIT Bangalore Admission Process

State-level counselling bodies conduct admissions for all AIT Bangalore programmes. The institute does not hold a separate entrance examination.

BE Admission

Applicants need to complete Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The required aggregate is 45%, reduced to 40% for SC/ST applicants. Admission also requires a valid KCET or COMEDK UGET rank based on the chosen quota.

• Complete registration through the KEA portal for KCET counselling or the COMEDK counselling portal for COMEDK seats.
• Enter the preferred college and BE branches during the choice-locking stage.
• Confirm the allotted seat and submit the semester fee online.
• Visit the Mallathahalli campus with original documents so the institute can verify them.

Students whose KCET ranks fall beyond the closing levels for highly competitive branches may consider branches with lower demand. They may also use the COMEDK route when seeking a computing branch.

M.Tech Admission

For M.Tech, applicants must hold a relevant BE or B.Tech degree from a recognised university. They need at least 50%, or 45% if they belong to a reserved category, along with a valid Karnataka PGCET M.Tech rank. KEA PGCET counselling is the admission route. The available specialisations are CSE, AI and Robotics, VLSI and Embedded Systems, Power Electronics, and Structural Engineering.

MBA and MCA Admission

MBA applicants must have a bachelor's degree with 50%, or 45% for reserved categories, and a valid Karnataka PGCET MBA rank. MCA admission requires a graduation background that included Mathematics as a subject. KEA PGCET 2026 counselling is used for both courses.

AIT Bangalore Campus and Infrastructure

The campus stands in Mallathahalli, a residential part of western Bangalore with connections to Rajajinagar and Vijayanagara. Its academic facilities include a central library, computing and electronics laboratories, a mechanical workshop, and a dedicated aeronautical engineering laboratory for the BE Aeronautical programme.

AIT Bangalore vs Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering vs New Horizon College of Engineering

Students applying through KCET or COMEDK may compare AIT Bangalore with Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) and New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE). All three are private engineering colleges in Bangalore and admit students through the same entrance routes.

For the 2025 ranking cycle, AIT Bangalore was placed above the other two institutions and was the only one in this comparison to offer BE Aeronautical Engineering. DSCE has a bigger campus and a wider selection of core engineering branches. NHCE has stronger industry connections for computing programmes. The three colleges draw applicants from the same KCET and COMEDK pool, and their general fee levels are broadly similar.
