FAQ
AIT FAQs
When was Acharya Institute of Technology Bangalore established?
AIT was established in 2000 under the JMJ Education Society, a unit of the Acharya Group of Institutions (founded 1990). The engineering college itself started admissions in 2000-2001 with CSE, ISE, ECE, and Civil, and is chaired by founder Dr. B. Premnath Reddy.
Is AIT Bangalore affiliated to VTU or is it autonomous?
AIT is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, and is approved by AICTE New Delhi under the latest approval letter dated 5 April 2025. It is not autonomous; all B.E. programmes follow VTU curriculum and examination.
What is the current NAAC grade of AIT Bangalore?
AIT holds NAAC Grade A under Cycle 2, awarded in 2025 (certificate published on ait.ac.in). The older Cycle 1 'B++' grade that some aggregators still display has been superseded by this fresh Cycle 2 result.
Which AIT programmes are NBA-accredited?
Six B.E. programmes are NBA-accredited under the Washington Accord: Aeronautical Engineering (valid to 30 June 2026), Biotechnology (valid to 30 June 2028), CSE, ECE, Mechanical, and Mechatronics (all four currently under SAR-based revalidation with the next NBA visit in March 2026).
What was the highest placement package at AIT in 2024-25?
The highest 2024-25 offer reported across AIT's cohort sits in the ₹65 — 68 LPA range, achieved by the ECE programme. NIRF 2025 audited data shows 460 of 629 eligible B.E. graduates placed (73.1%) with a UG median of ₹4.10 LPA and PG median of ₹4.30 LPA.
How large is the AIT Bangalore campus?
AIT sits on a 120-acre self-contained campus at Acharya Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Road, Soladevanahalli, Bengaluru — 560107 (off Hesaraghatta Main Road). The campus houses the Learning Resource Centre, separate boys' and girls' hostels, an ABB Robotics Lab, Texas Instruments Embedded Lab, L&T EV Lab, and a stadium-scale sports complex.
How many B.E. programmes and seats does AIT offer in 2025-26?
AIT's AICTE-approved intake for 2025-26 covers 14 programmes totalling 1,800 seats — 12 B.E. specialisations with 1,440 seats (CSE 360, ISE 240, ECE 180, AI & ML 120, and a new 60-seat Robotics & AI stream launched this year), plus MBA 240 and MCA 120.
Does AIT Bangalore currently offer M.Tech programmes?
No. AIT's Mandatory Disclosure 2026 and AICTE approval letter dated 5 April 2025 both confirm that the active PG offering is limited to MBA and MCA. M.Tech programmes that older listings reference have been discontinued and are not part of the 2025-26 intake.
What entrance exams does AIT accept for B.E. admission?
B.E. admission runs through a 45% KCET (KEA govt quota) / 30% COMEDK UGET / 25% management-quota split. Diploma holders enter the 2nd year via the Karnataka Diploma CET (DCET) lateral-entry route. MBA accepts KMAT, PGCET, CAT, or MAT; MCA goes entirely through PGCET.
What scholarships are available at AIT Bangalore?
In 2024-25 AIT disbursed ₹1.36 crore to 248 B.E. students (~₹55,000 per student average), plus ₹12.47 L to MBA and ₹6.59 L to MCA students. Category-wise schemes include Chancellor/merit waivers, sports scholarships, SC/ST state + central aid, need-based Karnataka SSP, and a dedicated girls-school scholarship that grants full tuition waiver plus free hostel to candidates with a KCET rank below 5000.
