Bangalore College of Engineering and Technology, or BCET, stands opposite Heelalige Railway Station at Chandapura, on the Hosur Road side of the city beyond Electronic City. Run by the Bangalore Educational Trust for more than two decades, it is one of the few engineering colleges in Bengaluru that sits right next to a suburban railway station. It also still offers Electrical and Electronics Engineering, a branch some newer colleges have dropped. Below, we look at how to reach the campus, which branches it runs, who can apply for a management seat in 2027 and what the process looks like.
Because fees and the number of open seats are revised annually, we ask you to contact us for updated details on both.

B.E. Branches at BCET
| Branch | Core subjects | Suits students who |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | Programming, algorithms, systems, software | Want broad software career options |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | Machine learning, data, intelligent systems | Enjoy maths and data-driven work |

Why EEE at BCET Is Worth a Look
Electrical and Electronics Engineering covers power generation, transmission, electrical machines and power electronics. It is a core branch, and demand for it is rising again with electric vehicles, solar energy and battery storage. The Electronic City, Bommasandra and Hosur industrial belts close to BCET include electrical, electronics and automotive manufacturers, which can help with internships and plant visits.
If you are weighing EEE against ECE, think about whether you prefer large-scale power systems or communication and embedded electronics. Our guide to EEE management quota in Bangalore compares EEE options across the city.
How Management Seats Are Created at BCET
Seats in every B.E. branch at BCET come from three pools: KCET counselling by the Karnataka Examinations Authority, COMEDK UGET counselling, and the management and NRI pool that the college manages. The 2025-26 order on seat sharing (ED 170 TEC 2025, 5 July 2025) gave non-minority private unaided colleges 45 percent KCET, 30 percent COMEDK and 25 percent management and NRI. A minority college would follow a different ratio, so check how BCET is classified in the current matrix.
The management route affects only how you are admitted and what fee applies. The classes, exams and VTU degree are the same for all students.
Living Near Electronic City
Many BCET students live in the Electronic City and Hosur Road area, either at home or in PGs. The area has plenty of student and working-professional housing, and the commute to Chandapura is short. Before you decide, compare the cost of a PG near Electronic City with the college hostel, and factor in daily transport. Students from Hosur and nearby towns in Tamil Nadu sometimes commute across the border, so check the travel time at college hours.
Who BCET Suits
- Students living in Electronic City, Chandapura, Bommasandra, Attibele or Hosur.
- Students who want EEE or ECE close to an industrial belt.
- Students from Tamil Nadu border towns who want a VTU college on the Hosur side.
- Families who prefer a large campus away from central city traffic.
Eligibility for BCET Management Quota Admission
Before you call BCET, run through this quick check:
- Did you pass 2nd PUC or Class 12 with both Physics and Mathematics? If not, you are not eligible for B.E. through any route.
- Is your third subject Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or Electronics? If so, it counts towards eligibility.
- Do your marks in those three subjects meet the year’s AICTE floor? It has been 45 percent for general merit and 40 percent for reserved categories.
- Do you have a KCET, COMEDK UGET or JEE Main result? BCET takes part in KCET and COMEDK, and an entrance score usually helps on the management route too.
- Are you a diploma holder? Then your route into the second year is DCET.
If any answer is unclear, or you want the confirmed 2027 rules, contact us for updated details.

BCET Management Quota Fees 2027
Each BCET branch has its own management fee, reviewed every academic year, so contact us for updated details rather than relying on numbers seen online. Keep the college’s printed fee structure beside you when you pay, and make every payment to the college itself. Karnataka has prohibited capitation since 1984, so an extra cash amount with no receipt is not part of a genuine admission. Our guide to genuine management quota admission lists the safeguards.
