FAQ
CEC Bantwal FAQs
Who runs Canara Engineering College (CEC), Benjanapadavu?
CEC is run by the Canara High School Association (CHSA), Mangalore — a 134-year-old educational society founded in 1891 by Sri Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, who also founded Canara Bank in 1906. CEC was started in 2001 as the CHSA "New Millennium Project". CHSA's registered office is at ASRP Road, Kodialbail, Mangalore 575003, while the CEC campus is at Sudheendra Nagar, Benjanapadavu, Bantwal Taluk 574219.
Is CEC autonomous and what are its accreditations?
Yes. In 2025 UGC granted CEC autonomous status valid through 2034-35 under VTU Belagavi. CEC holds NAAC A grade with CGPA 3.24 (valid till 23 June 2028) and NBA accreditation for Computer Science & Engineering, Information Science & Engineering, and Electronics & Communication Engineering (valid till 30 June 2028). It is also ISO 21001:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, UGC 2(f) recognized, and operates under AICTE Permanent ID 1-3579484.
What is CEC's KCET code and what admission streams does it accept?
CEC's KCET / KEA institution code is E123. The college accepts admissions through four streams: KCET (government quota via KEA), COMEDK UGET (private consortium), KRLMPCA UGCET (Konkani Linguistic Minority quota — CEC is a Konkani Minority Institution), and JEE Main scores. The indicative seat split is roughly 40% KCET, 30% KRLMPCA, and 30% Management/NRI.
How many UG B.E. seats does CEC offer in 2025-26 and in which branches?
Per the AICTE Extension of Approval dated 5 April 2025, CEC's 2025-26 sanctioned UG intake is 750 seats across seven B.E. branches: Computer Science & Engineering (180), Information Science & Engineering (180), AI & Machine Learning (120), Electronics & Communication Engineering (120), Computer Science & Business Systems (60), Computer Science & Design (60), and Mechanical Engineering (30).
Does CEC offer any PG programmes (M.Tech, MBA, MCA) in 2025-26?
