BGS College of Engineering and Technology, or BGSCET, is one of the newer engineering colleges in Bengaluru and one of very few that sit right beside a metro station. Its campus at Mahalakshmipuram, on West of Chord Road, is next to Mahalakshmi station on the Green Line. Run by the BGSKH Education Trust, a unit of the Sri Adichunchanagiri Shikshana Trust, it offers only computing branches, including Computer Science and Design. This guide explains BGSCET management quota admission for 2027 and what to check before joining a young college.
Fees and open seats shift with every admission season, so reach out to us for the latest position.

A College Built Around Computing
BGSCET does not run the usual spread of core branches. All five of its B.E. programmes are in computing and related fields.
| Programme | What sets it apart |
|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | The broad base: programming, algorithms, systems and networks |
| Information Science and Engineering | More weight on databases, web systems and enterprise software |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | Model building: deep learning, vision and language processing |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Science | Working with big data sets, from data pipelines to predictive analytics |
| Computer Science and Design | Computing combined with user experience, interaction and visual design |
What Computer Science and Design Covers
Computer Science and Design is a newer VTU programme that few colleges in the city offer. Students learn the core of computer science, such as programming, data structures and operating systems, and add subjects on design thinking, user interface and user experience design, graphics and human and computer interaction. It suits students who enjoy both coding and how apps and products look and feel. If you want a pure software or AI career, CSE or AI and ML may be the more direct path.
Part of the Adichunchanagiri Group
The Sri Adichunchanagiri group runs several engineering colleges. They share a parent trust, yet each one admits its own students through its own office.
| College | Location |
|---|---|
| BGS College of Engineering and Technology (BGSCET) | Mahalakshmipuram, Bengaluru |
| SJB Institute of Technology (SJBIT) | Kengeri, Bengaluru |
| SJC Institute of Technology (SJCIT) | Chickballapur |
| BGS Institute of Technology | BG Nagara, Mandya district |
Always say “BGSCET, Mahalakshmipuram” when you enquire, so the call does not go to a sister college.
Studying Next to a Metro Station
Few colleges in Bengaluru are as easy to reach by public transport. The Green Line of Namma Metro runs from Madavara in the north-west through Mahalakshmi to Silk Institute in the south, and Yeshwantpur and Malleswaram railway stations are close by.
- Short trips: Rajajinagar, Malleshwaram, Basaveshwaranagar, Vijayanagar, Yeshwantpur and Peenya.
- Easy by metro: Jayanagar, Banashankari, JP Nagar, Jalahalli and Nagasandra along the Green Line, and other areas with one change at Majestic.
- Hostel or PG: students from other states or the far edges of the city.
Out-of-town families can check the Wikipedia page on Bengaluru to see how central Mahalakshmipuram is.
What to Check at a Newer College
A young college can offer modern labs and smaller batches, but it has a shorter track record. Before you commit, ask:
- How many batches have graduated, and where did those students go after the course?
- How did students do in VTU semester results so far?
- Which labs are complete, and which are still being set up?
- How many faculty hold a Ph.D. in your branch?
BGSCET lists an Industry Institute Cell, an Innovation Cell, an IP Cell and student chapters such as IEEE, CSI and a coding club, and it runs a hackathon called Advaya. Ask how first-year students can take part.
How BGSCET Fills Its Seats
Each B.E. branch at BGSCET has three intake routes. KCET seats are allotted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority, COMEDK seats through COMEDK UGET counselling, and management and NRI seats by the college. The 2025-26 order on seat sharing, numbered ED 170 TEC 2025 and dated 5 July 2025, had non-minority private unaided colleges keep 45 percent of seats for KCET, 30 percent for COMEDK and 25 percent for management and NRI. A minority institution would work to a different ratio, so check BGSCET’s category in the current matrix. All routes lead to the same VTU degree.
Eligibility, Question by Question
Which subjects do I need? You must have passed 2nd PUC or Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, and your third subject should be Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or Electronics.
What marks are needed? AICTE has set the floor at 45 percent across those subjects for general merit students and 40 percent for reserved categories.
Do I need an entrance score? Usually yes. BGSCET is likely to ask for a KCET, COMEDK UGET or JEE Main scorecard, even for a management seat.
I have a diploma. Can I join? Diploma holders enter the second year through DCET.

- Phone the BGSCET office to find out whether both branches still have management seats.
- Go to Mahalakshmipuram, ideally by metro, to see the labs and classrooms.
- Hand in your application along with the marks cards, scorecard and ID proof.

BGSCET Management Quota Fees 2027
BGSCET sets its management fee per branch and revises it every year. Please contact us for updated details, because numbers posted online are often out of date. Match each payment to the printed fee structure and pay the college directly. Karnataka has banned capitation since 1984, so treat any unreceipted cash demand as a warning sign. Our guide to genuine management quota admission covers the safeguards.
