Sri Sairam College of Engineering is the Bengaluru campus of the Sairam group, set on about 45 acres at Anekal, on the Hosur side of the city near the Tamil Nadu border. Many families know the Sairam name from Chennai, which leads to a common mix-up: the Bengaluru college follows Karnataka’s admission system and VTU’s syllabus, not Tamil Nadu’s. This guide explains Sri Sairam College of Engineering management quota admission for the 2027 intake, starting with that difference.
Fees and the number of seats left change every season, so please contact us for updated details on those.

Bengaluru Sairam or Chennai Sairam? Know the Difference
The Sairam group also runs engineering colleges in Chennai. They share a founder and a name, but the admission rules are completely different.
| Point | Sri Sairam College of Engineering, Bengaluru | Sairam engineering colleges in Chennai |
|---|---|---|
| State | Karnataka | Tamil Nadu |
| University | VTU, Belagavi | Universities in Tamil Nadu |
| Degree | B.E. awarded by VTU | Awarded by the university each college is affiliated to |
| Counselling routes | KCET, COMEDK UGET and management quota | Tamil Nadu’s own counselling system |
| Seat matrix | Karnataka’s private college seat-sharing order | Tamil Nadu’s rules |
Seat Share at Sri Sairam
Private unaided colleges in Karnataka fill each B.E. branch from three pools. For non-minority colleges, the state’s seat-sharing order for 2025-26 (ED 170 TEC 2025, dated 5 July 2025) set this split. Minority colleges follow a different pattern, so check which category Sri Sairam falls under in the current seat matrix:
| Pool | Share | Run by |
|---|---|---|
| Government seats | 45% | KCET counselling by the Karnataka Examinations Authority |
| COMEDK seats | 30% | COMEDK UGET counselling |
| Management and NRI seats | 25% | The college |
Students from Tamil Nadu and other states often reach Sri Sairam through COMEDK or the management route, because KCET’s government seats are mostly for students with Karnataka eligibility.
B.E. Programmes at Sri Sairam
| Programme | Main topics | Good match for students who |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | Programming, algorithms, software systems | Want broad software career options |
| Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | Machine learning, data science, intelligent systems | Like mathematics and want to build AI tools |
| Information Science and Engineering | Databases, web technology, enterprise software | Prefer application development |
| CSE (IoT and Cyber Security including Blockchain) | Connected devices, network security, blockchain | Are interested in security and smart devices |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | Circuits, embedded systems, communication | Enjoy hardware and electronics |
| Electrical and Electronics Engineering | Power systems, machines, control | Want a career in power and energy |
| Mechanical Engineering | Design, thermal engineering, manufacturing | Are drawn to core engineering and industry |
Sri Sairam still offers the two traditional core branches, EEE and Mechanical, which some newer colleges have dropped. That makes it a useful option if you want a core branch on the south-eastern side of the city. Our guides to EEE management quota in Bangalore and Mechanical Engineering management quota in Bangalore compare those branches across colleges.
Anekal: Studying on the Hosur Side of Bengaluru
Anekal is a town at the south-eastern edge of Bengaluru Urban district, close to Hosur and the Electronic City and Chandapura belt. That location has clear pros and cons.
- Space: a 45-acre campus away from the city’s densest traffic, with room for hostels and sports.
- Industry nearby: Electronic City, Bommasandra and Jigani are home to many technology and manufacturing companies, and Hosur’s industrial zone is across the border.
- Distance from the city: central, north and west Bengaluru are a long ride away, so most students from those areas use the hostel or college buses.
- Easy reach from Tamil Nadu: families in Hosur and Krishnagiri can visit easily, which is one reason the college draws many students from across the border.
Ask the college about hostel places, bus routes and their cost before confirming the seat.
Who Should Consider Sri Sairam
- Students from Tamil Nadu who want a VTU degree close to home.
- Students living around Electronic City, Chandapura, Attibele, Hosur Road or Sarjapur.
- Students who want a core branch such as EEE or Mechanical on a large campus.
- Students interested in IoT and cyber security as a specialisation.
Eligibility for Sri Sairam Management Quota Admission
- Qualifying exam: 2nd PUC, Class 12 or an equivalent, with Physics and Mathematics compulsory.
- Third subject: one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or Electronics.
- Marks: at least 45 percent in these subjects for the general category, or 40 percent for reserved categories, as per AICTE norms.
- Entrance result: a KCET, COMEDK UGET or JEE Main score is usually expected, even for a management seat. Ask the college which ones it accepts.
- Board certificates: students from the Tamil Nadu State Board, CBSE or other boards will need a migration certificate.

Questions Worth Asking at Anekal

- How many hostel places are there for first-year students, and how are rooms allotted?
- Which bus routes run to Electronic City, Hosur Road and the city, and what do they cost?
- What placement results did my programme record in recent years, in the college’s own report?
- If I studied under the Tamil Nadu State Board, which extra certificates will you need?
Sri Sairam Management Quota Fees 2027
Management fees at Sri Sairam vary by programme and are reviewed each year, so we do not print a figure here. Contact us for updated details on the current fee for your branch. Insist on the official fee structure, pay nothing outside it, and keep every receipt. Karnataka’s Capitation Fee Act, 1984 prohibits capitation, so any request for unreceipted cash is a red flag. Our list of management quota mistakes to avoid explains what to watch for.
