Bangalore is home to the large majority of Karnataka’s COMEDK-affiliated engineering colleges — from decades-old government-aided institutions to large private universities. If you’re specifically hunting for COMEDK colleges in Bangalore rather than the state as a whole, here’s the full city list, split by government/aided vs. private/university-run, with fees and typical cutoff ranks for each.

Fee figures are COMEDK-quota tuition only, excluding hostel. 2026 closing ranks publish only after July–August counselling; the ranks above are based on confirmed 2025 Round 1 data as the most reliable current reference.
Government & Aided Colleges Under COMEDK
Most of Bangalore’s well-known government engineering colleges — like University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) — primarily admit through KCET rather than COMEDK, since their seat matrix is dominated by the state quota. Only a small number of government/aided colleges nationally take COMEDK-quota seats, and in Bangalore this list is short:
- Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (Dr. AIT): A government-aided institution with some COMEDK-quota seats, and by far the lowest fees on this list (roughly ₹60,000–1,00,000/year). A strong pick if budget is the priority and you’re comfortable with a higher rank requirement than the top private colleges.
- Sir M Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (Sir MVIT): Technically a private, government-aided-adjacent trust college — fees sit well below most fully private options while still offering solid placement outcomes.
If your priority is a government or heavily subsidised seat and you’re a Karnataka domicile candidate, KCET (not COMEDK) is usually the better route into UVCE and similar colleges — worth writing both exams if you’re eligible.
Private & University-Run Colleges Under COMEDK
The bulk of Bangalore’s COMEDK seats sit here, split roughly into two groups:
Established private engineering colleges (autonomous, VTU-affiliated)
RVCE, MSRIT, BMSCE, DSCE, BIT, BMSIT, NHCE, CMRIT, BNM, and SJBIT fall into this bucket — most were founded as standalone engineering colleges, later granted autonomous status, and remain affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) for their degrees.
Private universities
PES University, REVA University, and Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT, under Nitte University) award their own degrees rather than a VTU degree, generally run more flexible curricula, and — notably for COMEDK aspirants whose rank doesn’t clear merit cutoffs — tend to have more visible, structured management quota / direct admission processes. See our REVA University fees & management quota guide for an example of how this works in practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which colleges accept COMEDK in Bangalore?
Nearly all major private engineering colleges in Bangalore accept COMEDK UGET scores, including RVCE, MSRIT, BMSCE, PES University, DSCE, BIT, NMIT, REVA, and others listed above. A handful of government-aided colleges, such as Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, also reserve a small number of COMEDK-quota seats.
Are there COMEDK medical colleges in Bangalore?
COMEDK UGET also covers admission to a limited number of medical and dental seats at private colleges in Karnataka, though the vast majority of COMEDK seats — and this list — are for engineering. Medical seat allotment runs through a separate counselling process within COMEDK; check comedk.org for the current list of participating medical colleges.
What’s the difference between COMEDK government colleges and private colleges?
Government/aided colleges (like Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology) charge a fraction of private college fees but offer very few COMEDK-quota seats, since most of their intake goes through the KCET state quota. Private colleges and universities offer far more COMEDK seats but at higher fees.
Can’t get into your target Bangalore college on COMEDK rank alone? Most private colleges and universities on this list — including RVCE, MSRIT, REVA, and PES — hold back a share of seats for management quota / direct admission. See how management quota admission works, or talk to a counsellor about seat availability for your rank.
