FAQ
CEC FAQs
Is City Engineering College (CEC) Bengaluru NAAC and AICTE accredited?
Yes. City Engineering College is approved by AICTE, New Delhi and affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi. The institution is accredited by NAAC with a B+ grade and is recognised under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. CEC is currently not NBA-accredited. Candidates are advised to verify the latest cycle and validity period of the NAAC certificate on the NAAC portal and on the college website before admission.
What are the KCET, COMEDK and PGCET codes for City Engineering College?
City Engineering College participates in every major Karnataka counselling. The KCET (UG B.E.) code for CEC is E109, allotted through KEA on kea.kar.nic.in. The COMEDK UGET code is E037 — candidates should cross-check the final code on the COMEDK 2026 seat matrix at comedk.org. M.Tech, MBA and MCA admissions use Karnataka PGCET counselling, and lateral-entry diploma candidates use Karnataka DCET under the same institution code.
What is the 2025-26 KCET quota BE fee at City Engineering College?
Under the Karnataka Government fee regulation, the 2025-26 KCET (Government/CET) quota BE tuition at City Engineering College is ₹1,13,205 per year — applied uniformly across CSE, ISE, AI&ML, ECE, Mechanical, Civil and CSE (IoT & Cyber Security with Blockchain). University, skill-development, exam and caution-deposit charges are billed on top of this base tuition and are revised annually by VTU and the college.
What is the 2026-27 Management/COMEDK quota BE fee structure at CEC?
For the 2026-27 intake, CEC's Management/COMEDK BE tuition is tiered by branch. Computer Science (CSE), AI & Machine Learning, CSE (IoT & Cyber Security / Blockchain), Data Science and ISE are at ₹2,00,000 per year; Electronics & Communication (ECE) and EEE are at ₹1,50,000 per year; and Mechanical and Civil are at ₹1,00,000 per year. University and one-time charges are additional and separate hostel/mess fees apply.
How are placements at City Engineering College Bengaluru?
CEC runs a dedicated Training & Placement Cell. In the 2023 placement cycle, the highest package stood at ₹14.40 LPA (Morris Garages / MG Motors) with an average of around ₹4.00 LPA. Consistent recruiters include Amazon, Accenture, Oracle, Infosys, Wipro, Dell, IBM, Bosch, Finastra, Moog India and Mphasis, and the cell runs skill bootcamps, aptitude training and mock interviews to prepare students for service-sector and core roles.
Is City Engineering College ranked in NIRF or other national rankings?
As of the latest published lists, City Engineering College is not ranked by NIRF Engineering 2025 and does not appear in the top bands of India Today, Outlook, or Data Quest T-School engineering surveys. CEC competes in the affordable mid-tier VTU private category, and its key strengths are location, emerging-tech branches and approachable tuition rather than ranking-driven brand visibility.
Does CEC offer hostel accommodation for outstation students?
Yes. City Engineering College provides separate on-campus boys' and girls' hostels with mess facilities, Wi-Fi, and 24x7 security. The hostels are within the 12-acre campus footprint and are particularly convenient for students coming in from outside Bengaluru. Hostel-mess charges are billed annually and revised by the management; candidates should request the latest hostel tariff sheet at the time of counselling reporting.
What are the distinctive UG branches at City Engineering College?
CEC's most distinctive UG programme is CSE (IoT & Cyber Security including Blockchain Technology) — a specialised B.E. stream that integrates Internet of Things, cybersecurity and blockchain fundamentals into a single VTU curriculum. The college also offers classical CSE, Information Science & Engineering, AI & Machine Learning, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering, giving students a healthy mix of legacy core and future-tech options.
