Jain (Deemed-to-be University) is an autonomous institution in its own right — it was conferred Deemed-to-be University status in 2009 under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. This grants it full academic, administrative and financial autonomy: the university designs its own curricula (no VTU affiliation), conducts its own examinations, awards its own degrees (valid nationally), and is recognised by UGC with Graded Autonomy. It is also AICTE-approved, NAAC A++ accredited (CGPA 3.71/4), and a member of AIU and ACU. Selected B.Tech programmes and the CMS Business School MBA are NBA-accredited.

B.Tech tuition fees at Jain University (JU-FET) for 2026-27 range from ₹2.25 L/yr for core branches (Mechanical, Civil, EEE, ECE) to ₹3.0-3.25 L/yr for CSE, and ₹3.75 L/yr for premium specializations like AI & ML and Data Science.

Merit scholarships of up to 25% are available for top JET/JEE/KCET/COMEDK scorers in Year 1.

Admission is primarily through JET (Jain Entrance Test) 2026 — a 2-hour online proctored test with 100 marks and no negative marking (₹600 application fee). JET 2026 exam was held on 9-10 April 2026, with counselling on 13-14 April and seat confirmation by 25 April 2026. Additional JET test dates on 30 April and 1 May 2026 are available for late applicants.

Jain University's School of Engineering & Technology (JU-FET/SET) offers B.Tech across 30+ specializations including core branches (CSE, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace via IIAEM, Biotechnology) and modern CSE tracks (AI & ML, Data Science with Guvi-HCL, Cyber Security, Full-Stack Development, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, AI-Driven Dev Ops). Postgraduate offerings include M.Tech (15-16 specializations), MCA (3 streams), MBA via CMS Business School, and PhD (full-time + part-time) across engineering, sciences, management and humanities.

Jain University is a Deemed-to-be University so it does not follow a conventional "management quota" system like Karnataka state-affiliated colleges. All seats are filled through JET (in-house) or by accepting JEE Main, KCET, COMEDK, Uni-GAUGE, CUET or AP EAMCET scores, with counselling and a Scholarship Counselling Round determining final allotment. Direct admission (for candidates not writing JET) is available by applying with JEE/KCET/COMEDK scores, subject to merit, with the same published tuition fees of ₹2.25-3.75 L/yr depending on branch.
