About Bengaluru School of Visual Arts
Bengaluru School of Visual Arts (Evening College) is a design college in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Bengaluru School of Visual Arts (Evening College) is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Bengaluru City University. Bengaluru School of Visual Arts (Evening College) offers 11 programmes, 6 at undergraduate level and 5 at postgraduate level. These include Bachelor of Visual Arts (Animation and Game Art), Bachelor of Visual Arts (Applied Art), Bachelor of Visual Arts (Art History), Bachelor of Visual Arts (Graphics Arts) and Bachelor of Visual Arts (Painting), among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 72 seats. The institution is officially presented as Bengaluru School of Visual Arts (Evening), operating at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath campus and affiliated with Bengaluru City University. The website describes BVA as a four-year, eight-semester degree and MVA as a two-year, four-semester programme, with specializations including applied art and graphic art. Admissions require an institution-level written, practical and oral entrance test plus portfolio presentation. The available official application form is for 2024-25 and states 75% attendance is compulsory in each subject; no official 2026-27-specific academic, faculty, fee or intake figures were identified. The official site mentions studios and printmaking equipment, but does not publish a verified count, so no facilities count is recorded. Official pages describe this as a visual arts college affiliated to Bengaluru City University, located within the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath campus. Bengaluru City University documents classify it as a private college; one document describes it as private un-aided under society management. The website copyright year (2020) was not treated as an establishment claim. The BCU programme document reports sanctioned BVA subject-wise seats, but these are not included as campus facts because they are programme/intake data rather than campus facilities.
