The current-year KCET institution code for CIT is published on kea.kar.nic.in ahead of counselling. M.Tech admission runs through Karnataka PGCET or GATE; MBA through PGCET / CAT / MAT / KMAT; MCA through PGCET / KMAT / MAT.
What are the 2026-27 tuition fees at CIT Bangalore?
CIT publishes its Fees Structure on cambridge.edu.in ahead of KEA and COMEDK counselling every year. Indicative total tuition ranges from roughly ₹1.50 lakh to ₹3.00 lakh per year depending on programme and quota, with CSE-family, AI/ML, and AI & Data Science branches at the upper end and core branches like Civil, Mechanical, and Biotechnology at the lower end. Hostel and one-time fees are additional. Treat these as indicative and confirm branch-wise numbers against the 2026-27 notification before deposit.
Is CIT Bangalore AICTE-approved, NAAC, and NBA accredited?
Yes on all three. CIT is permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi. It is AICTE-approved for BE, M.Tech, MBA, MCA, and Ph.D. programmes and is UGC-recognised. The exact NBA programme list and cycle-by-cycle validity is published on cambridge.edu.in and should be verified against nbaind.org before counselling.

CSE-family, ISE, AI/ML, and AI & Data Science branches typically see the highest package concentration; core branches like Mechanical, Civil, and Biotechnology see consistent recruiter visits from manufacturing, construction, pharmaceutical, and process-industries firms.
What does the CIT campus offer for residential students?
CIT runs its 15-acre KR Puram campus with approximately 3,500 students hosted across dedicated academic blocks per department, a central library with print and digital resources, modern engineering labs, cafeterias, seminar halls, and indoor / outdoor sports infrastructure. On-campus hostels for boys and girls are available along with supervised off-campus PG arrangements in the KR Puram, Hoodi, and Whitefield neighbourhoods. The campus sits within the active eastern Bengaluru tech-ecosystem, giving students easy access to corporate events, tech meetups, and internship programmes across the ITPL-Whitefield belt.
