Sri Krishna Institute of Technology, known as SKIT, sits on Hesaraghatta Main Road at Chikkabanavara, on the north-western edge of Bengaluru close to the Peenya industrial belt. It is one of the few colleges in the city to offer the new Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) branch, which is drawing interest as chip design grows in India. This guide covers SKIT management quota admission for the 2027 intake: the codes you will see in counselling, the branches, the VLSI option and the steps to a confirmed seat.
Fees and seat counts shift every season, so for those we ask you to contact us for updated details rather than relying on old numbers.

Admission Codes You Will Need
If you go through counselling first, you will need SKIT’s college code to add it to your option list. The college publishes these codes:
| Counselling route | SKIT college code | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|
| KCET (government quota) | E112 | Option entry on the Karnataka Examinations Authority portal |
| COMEDK UGET | E132 | Preference filling on the COMEDK portal |
A management seat does not use these codes. You apply to the college directly. Keeping the codes handy still helps, because many families try counselling first and turn to the management route only if the rank falls short.
How Management Seats Fit In at SKIT
Each B.E. branch at SKIT is split between three channels. Under the Karnataka government’s seat-sharing order for 2025-26 (ED 170 TEC 2025, 5 July 2025), non-minority private unaided colleges gave 45 percent of each branch to KCET, 30 percent to COMEDK and 25 percent to the management and NRI category. Confirm SKIT’s split in the current year’s order, as the matrix is reissued every year.
Whatever the route, the student is the same in the classroom. A management student follows the VTU syllabus, writes the VTU exams and receives the VTU degree like everyone else in the branch.
B.E. Programmes at SKIT
| Programme | Core subjects | Worth a look if you |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | Programming, algorithms, operating systems, networks | Want the widest range of software roles |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | Machine learning, data, neural networks | Enjoy mathematics and AI applications |
| Information Science and Engineering | Databases, web and enterprise systems | Prefer building applications and services |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | Circuits, signals, communication, embedded systems | Like hardware and electronics |
| Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) | Chip design, semiconductor devices, verification | Are curious about how processors and chips are made |
| Mechanical Engineering | Thermodynamics, design, manufacturing | Want a core engineering career |
| Civil Engineering | Structures, surveying, construction | Are drawn to infrastructure work |
The VLSI Branch, Explained
VLSI stands for very large scale integration, the field of designing the chips inside phones, cars and computers. A dedicated B.E. in VLSI Design and Technology is still new in Karnataka, and SKIT is among the colleges offering it. Before you choose it, think about three points:
- It is narrower than ECE. You go deeper into chip design and semiconductor devices, and spend less time on communication and signal processing.
- The work is specialised. Roles are usually in design, verification and testing at semiconductor and electronics companies, and many need strong digital electronics skills.
- Ask about labs and tools. Chip design depends on industry software. Ask SKIT which design tools students use and whether the department has industry tie-ups.
If you are unsure whether to take VLSI or general ECE, our guide to ECE management quota in Bangalore explains the broader branch.
Location: Chikkabanavara and the Peenya Belt
SKIT is on the Hesaraghatta Road side of north-west Bengaluru. Peenya, one of the largest industrial areas in the city, is a short ride away, and Tumkur Road connects the area to the rest of Bengaluru. For students, this matters in a few ways:
- Mechanical and Civil students are close to manufacturing units and industrial projects, which can help with internships and site visits.
- Students from Yeshwanthpur, Jalahalli, Peenya, Nagasandra and Hesaraghatta usually find the commute manageable.
- Students from south or east Bengaluru face a long daily trip, so ask about college buses or plan for a PG nearby.
The Wikipedia page on Bengaluru gives out-of-state families a quick sense of the city’s geography.
Eligibility for SKIT Management Quota Admission
To be considered for a management seat at SKIT, you must have passed 2nd PUC or Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, plus one optional subject such as Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Biology or Biotechnology. AICTE’s minimum has been 45 percent across these subjects for general category students and 40 percent for reserved categories. SKIT accepts KCET, COMEDK UGET and JEE Main, so having one of these results strengthens your application even on the management route. Diploma holders aiming for the second year apply through DCET instead. The 2027 criteria are fixed near admission time, so contact us for updated details before you apply.
From Enquiry to Confirmed Seat
- Check your marks against the eligibility rule as soon as your Class 12 result is out.
- Decide between your top two programmes, particularly if you are weighing VLSI against ECE or CSE.
- Contact the SKIT admission office to ask which programmes have management seats this year.
- Visit the Chikkabanavara campus and see the department and labs for your branch.
- Submit the application with copies of your marks cards and any entrance result.
- Get the provisional offer in writing, with the branch and each fee component listed.
- Pay the college directly through its official account and keep every receipt.
- Finish document verification to lock in the seat.

What to Ask the SKIT Admission Office
Go to the admission office with a short list of questions. Clear answers in writing will save you trouble later.
- Which programmes still have management seats for the 2027 batch, and roughly how many?
- For the VLSI branch, which chip design tools and labs will students use, and from which semester?
- Does the college have tie-ups with semiconductor or electronics companies for internships?
- What did the last three batches of my programme achieve in placements, according to the college’s own report?
- Which entrance results does SKIT accept for a management seat this year?
- Which college bus routes reach my area, and are hostel places available for first-year students?
- What exactly will the provisional admission letter state, and when will I receive it?
SKIT Management Quota Fees 2027
SKIT fixes management fees branch by branch and revises them each year. Computing programmes and VLSI are usually priced above Civil and Mechanical. Contact us for updated details on this year’s figures. Before paying, read the written fee structure carefully. Every rupee you pay should appear on it and be paid to the college’s own account. Asking for unreceipted cash, or capitation, is prohibited under Karnataka’s Capitation Fee Act of 1984. Our guide to genuine management quota admission covers the safeguards in more detail.
Comparing SKIT With Nearby Colleges
Several colleges sit on the same side of the city. If you are building a shortlist, these guides on our site cover them:
- Direct admission in Acharya Institute of Technology, at Soladevanahalli, also off Hesaraghatta Road.
- Engineering colleges in north Bangalore, for the wider north and north-west belt.
- CSE management quota colleges in Bangalore, if computer science is your priority.
Compare the programme you want, the college’s placement report for that programme and the daily commute before you decide.
