FAQ
GEC Kushalnagar FAQs
When was Government Engineering College Kushalnagar established and who runs it?
GEC Kushalnagar (GECK) was established in 2007 by the Government of Karnataka as one of approximately ten new public engineering colleges opened that year to extend affordable technical education into under-served districts. It operates under the Department of Technical Education (DTE), Govt. of Karnataka, is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) Belagavi, is AICTE-approved, and is non-autonomous — it follows VTU's syllabus, CBCS scheme, and examination pattern.
Where exactly is the GEC Kushalnagar campus and how big is it?
The college is located at Madapatna, just off the Madikeri Road (SH-88) in Kushalnagar town, Somwarpet Taluk, Kodagu District, Karnataka 571234. The campus spans approximately 10 acres in a green plateau setting. Kushalnagar is about 85 km from Mysuru and 250 km from Bengaluru and is served by KSRTC and private bus networks on SH-88.
What B.E. branches does GEC Kushalnagar offer and what is the sanctioned intake?
GECK offers four classical 4-year B.E. programmes: Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Each branch has a historical AICTE-approved intake of 60 students, totalling 240 sanctioned UG seats plus a 5% Supernumerary Quota (SNQ) of roughly 12 additional seats introduced by KEA from 2023. No new-age specialisations (AI/ML, Data Science, IoT) were introduced as of AY 2025-26.
Is GEC Kushalnagar NAAC or NBA accredited, and does it rank in NIRF?
No. The college does not hold NAAC accreditation — no grade, CGPA, cycle or validity is published on the college site or the NAAC Accredited HEIs portal as of AY 2025-26. None of its four branches are NBA-accredited either. These are genuine accreditation gaps that prospective students should weigh against accredited alternatives in the KCET basket.
What are the 2025-26 tuition fees at GEC Kushalnagar?
Under the 2025 Karnataka fee revision, General-Merit KCET candidates pay Rs 44,200 per year in tuition plus Rs 10,000 in university and development charges (~Rs 54,200 first-year total). SC/ST candidates are fully fee-exempted in every income bracket (previous Rs 750 nominal fee is now Rs 0). Category-1 low-income candidates (family income below Rs 2.5 lakh) are also fully exempted. SNQ candidates pay Rs 20,610 per year. There is no management or NRI fee.
