FAQ
Dr. AIT FAQs
What is the highest and average placement package at Dr AIT Bangalore?

Approximately 80% of eligible students are placed each year. Top recruiters include TCS, Amazon, HP Inc., IBM, HCL, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, Bosch, L&T, Intel, Pay Pal, Johnson Controls, and Schneider Electric.
Where is Dr AIT Bangalore located and how is the campus?
Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (Autonomous) is located in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
What is the KCET quota fee at Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology?
For students admitted through the Karnataka CET (KCET) quota, Dr AIT charges ₹44,311 per academic year — the same tuition rate as aided government engineering colleges in Karnataka. Total four-year KCET-quota tuition works out to approximately ₹1.77 lakh. This rate reflects Dr AIT's government-aided private status and applies uniformly across all 10 B.E. branches. KCET quota accounts for roughly 45% of total seats and requires Karnataka state domicile plus PUC-2 equivalence.
Is Dr AIT autonomous or affiliated to VTU?
Dr AIT holds academic autonomy granted by the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi in 2010. While the degree is still awarded by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, the college designs its own curriculum, examination system, and evaluation framework. This allows faster updates to electives and subject content compared to standard VTU-affiliated colleges — particularly useful for AI, data science, cyber security, and other fast-moving fields.
What is the NAAC grade of Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology?
Dr AIT holds NAAC A+ accreditation, one of the highest institutional quality grades in Indian higher education, plus NBA accreditation across all eligible UG and PG engineering programmes. The Outlook-ICARE 2024 ranking separately positions Dr AIT at #76 in the Engineering category. Families should cross-check the current-year NIRF band on nirfindia.org before publishing final counselling material.
How old is Dr AIT Bangalore?
Dr AIT was established in 1980, making it over 45 years old as of 2026 and one of the oldest private engineering colleges in Bangalore. It was founded by the Panchajanya Vidya Peetha Welfare Trust and named in honour of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Uniquely among Bangalore private colleges, Dr AIT holds government-aided status, which keeps its KCET-quota tuition at just ₹44,311 per year — the same rate as top aided institutions in Karnataka — and has run World Bank TEQIP Phase I, II and III grants across its history.
