Bangalore Technological Institute, or BTI, is at Kodathi, just off Sarjapur Road and close to the Wipro corporate office, in the middle of one of Bengaluru’s busiest IT corridors. Running since 2010, it is a VTU college that has added newer programmes such as Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and Computer Engineering alongside the usual branches. Its name is also easily confused with Bangalore Institute of Technology in VV Puram. Here we explain the difference, the branches and intakes BTI lists, and how BTI management quota admission works for 2027.
Fees and remaining seats are revised every year, so contact us for updated details on both.

BTI or BIT? Not the Same College
| Point | Bangalore Technological Institute (BTI) | Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) |
|---|---|---|
| Area | Kodathi, Sarjapur Road, south-east Bengaluru | VV Puram, near KR Road, central Bengaluru |
| Started | 2010 | 1979 |
| University | VTU | VTU |
| Covered here | Yes | No, see our separate guide |
The two names differ by a single word, so always give the area, Kodathi or VV Puram, when you call or fill in forms.
B.E. Branches and Intake at BTI
| Branch | Intake listed by BTI |
|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 180 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | 120 |
| Computer Engineering | 60 |
| Robotics and Artificial Intelligence | 60, started in 2022 |
| Information Science and Engineering | 60, started in 2025 |
| CSE (Data Science) | Not stated |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | Not stated |
| Civil Engineering | 30 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 30 |
A branch with an intake of 30 will have only a few management seats. If you want Civil or Mechanical at BTI, start early.
What Robotics and AI Covers
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is one of the newer VTU programmes and BTI has offered it since 2022. It combines three areas:
- Mechanics and motion: kinematics, actuators and robot design
- Electronics and control: sensors, microcontrollers and control systems
- Intelligence: machine learning, computer vision and path planning
It suits students who enjoy building physical things and also like programming. Ask BTI which robotics labs and kits first-year and second-year students can use, since hands-on work matters a lot in this branch.
Computer Engineering vs CSE
BTI lists both Computer Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering. The two overlap heavily in programming and core computing subjects. Computer Engineering usually gives more weight to hardware, such as digital design, computer architecture and embedded systems, while CSE spends more time on software, algorithms and data. If you are interested in how processors and devices work, Computer Engineering may suit you. If you want the widest range of software roles, CSE is the safer choice. Compare the VTU syllabus for both before you decide.
Studying on the Sarjapur Road Corridor
Sarjapur Road links the Outer Ring Road tech parks at Bellandur and Marathahalli with fast-growing residential areas towards Sarjapur town.
- Close by: Kodathi, Carmelaram, Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road, Bellandur and Varthur.
- Reachable daily: HSR Layout, Marathahalli, Whitefield, Koramangala and Electronic City, depending on traffic.
- Better with a hostel: north and west Bengaluru, and students from other states.
Carmelaram railway station is a few kilometres from the campus, according to listings. Traffic on Sarjapur Road can be heavy at peak hours, so time your trip on a weekday morning before you decide. Out-of-state families can use the Wikipedia page on Bengaluru to get a sense of the city’s layout.
Who BTI Suits
- Students living along Sarjapur Road, the Outer Ring Road or in Whitefield.
- Students who want Robotics and AI or Computer Engineering, which few colleges in the area offer.
- Students hoping to build contacts with the tech parks nearby through internships and events.
- Students who like a smaller, newer college with an incubation centre and project expos.
How Management Seats Are Allocated at BTI
BTI takes part in KCET counselling, conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority, and in COMEDK UGET counselling, and it fills the management and NRI category directly. The 2025-26 seat-sharing order (ED 170 TEC 2025, 5 July 2025) fixed a 45 percent KCET, 30 percent COMEDK and 25 percent management and NRI split for non-minority private unaided colleges. A minority college would follow a different ratio, so confirm BTI’s category in the current matrix. All students in a branch share the same classes, exams and VTU degree.
Eligibility for BTI Management Quota
- You need a pass in 2nd PUC or Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics.
- You also need one more subject from Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or Electronics.
- Your marks in these subjects should reach the AICTE minimum, which has been 45 percent for general merit and 40 percent for reserved categories.
- Your entrance result from KCET, COMEDK UGET or JEE Main is usually requested even for a management seat.
- Diploma holders enter the second year through DCET.
Final 2027 criteria come out near the admission season, so contact us for updated details.

BTI Management Quota Fees 2027
BTI fixes management fees branch by branch and updates them every year, so we do not publish amounts. Contact us for updated details on this year’s fees. Ask for the fee structure on college letterhead, and treat any request for extra cash without a receipt as a red flag. Capitation is prohibited in Karnataka under the 1984 Capitation Fee Act. Our guide to genuine management quota admission covers the safeguards.
