Could you move to a different engineering branch?
Do not treat a later switch as guaranteed: read switching branch in 3rd semester. A move depends on the current VTU notice, your college's real vacancies and merit order.

FAQ
NHCE FAQs
What is NHCE's NIRF ranking?
Beyond NIRF, NHCE holds QS I-GAUGE 2025 Diamond band, ARIIA 4-star Excellent band (2020-21), and AICTE Platinum institute rating.
What is the campus like at NHCE Bangalore?
The NHCE campus spans approximately 12 acres on Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road, located at New Horizon Knowledge Park, Bellandur Main Road, near Marathahalli (Bengaluru 560103). It is about 45 km from Kempegowda International Airport and 2 km from the nearest railway station. Facilities include a 700-seater international-standard auditorium, 30,000+ volume library, three boys' hostels plus two girls' hostels accommodating ~1,200 students combined, Wi-Fi-enabled smart classrooms, and 16 industry-sponsored Centres of Excellence with companies like Amazon, Capgemini, SAP, Cisco, and VMware.
What are the top recruiters at NHCE?
NHCE's recurring top recruiters include EY (Ernst & Young), Capgemini, Nvidia, Intel, SAP, Samsung, IBM, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, Amazon, Bosch, Morgan Stanley, Visa, D. E. Shaw, Dell, Tech Mahindra, Cisco, JP Morgan, and Nokia. The college also operates an on-campus Japan Career Centre that facilitates placements with Japanese companies like Zenken Corporation for international roles. In the 2025 batch, 153 companies participated in campus drives and 1,008 students were placed.
What scholarships are available at NHCE?
NHCE offers a Chairman's Scholarship for 1st-year B.E. students under the management quota, plus sports scholarships for 1st-year B.E./MBA/MCA students in the management quota. Merit-based tuition concessions are available for KCET rank-band holders (100%, 50%, and 25% slabs for top ranks). All standard state and central government scholarships for SC/ST/OBC candidates are applicable. Merit-based scholarships for academic toppers per branch are also offered. Specific amounts and eligibility vary year to year — confirm current scholarship structure directly with NHCE admissions.
Is NHCE Bangalore an autonomous college?
Yes. NHCE was granted autonomous status in 2016 while remaining permanently affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi. Autonomous status allows NHCE to design its own curriculum, evaluation patterns, and industry-aligned electives while the degrees are awarded by VTU. The college is also approved by AICTE and UGC. This autonomy enables faster curriculum updates in emerging areas like Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Data Science, and Cyber Forensics compared to purely VTU-bound colleges.
What is the fee structure at New Horizon College of Engineering for 2026-27?
For 2025-26 (the latest published fee table), NHCE's KCET government-quota tuition is ₹1,12,410 per year, the KRLMPCA minority-quota fee is ₹2,81,100 per year, and the state-approved management-quota tuition is ₹3,50,000 per year for CSE, AIML and ECE and ₹2,50,000 per year for EEE and Mechanical - all per the college's 2026 Mandatory Disclosure (fee table, p.11). NHCE does not participate in COMEDK counselling. Hostel fees are not published online; confirm them with the Accounts Department at admission. For management-quota seats, counsellor-quoted Year-1 totals can exceed the approved tuition - see the management-quota fee table.
How to get admission in New Horizon College of Engineering?
B.E. admission at NHCE is primarily through KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) via KEA counselling for the state government quota. Management quota seats are filled directly by NHCE based on Class 12 Physics-Math aggregate, JEE Main, or COMEDK scores where applicable. Eligibility requires a pass in 2nd PUC/12th with English, Physics, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, with at least 45% aggregate (40% for Karnataka SC/ST/OBC Category I, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B). M.Tech admissions follow GATE + Karnataka PGCET; MBA uses PGCET/CAT/MAT/KMAT/XAT; MCA uses PGCET/KMAT.
What courses are offered at New Horizon College of Engineering?
NHCE offers eight B.E. specialisations: Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), CSE (Data Science), Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI&ML), Information Science & Engineering (ISE), Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Engineering. Postgraduate programmes include M.Tech in CSE, Machine Design, and Cyber Forensic & Information Security (18 NIRF-sanctioned PG seats), MBA (2 years), MCA (2 years), and PhD / M.Sc (Engg.) by Research across multiple engineering and management disciplines.
What is the management quota fee at New Horizon College of Engineering?
NHCE's state-approved management-quota tuition (2026 Mandatory Disclosure, p.11) is ₹3,50,000 per year for CSE, AIML and ECE and ₹2,50,000 per year for EEE and Mechanical - about ₹14 lakh (CSE/AIML/ECE) or ₹10 lakh (EEE/ME) over four years on approved tuition alone. Counsellor-reported Year-1 totals are higher for high-demand branches - around ₹10 lakh for CSE, ₹9 lakh for AIML and ₹4.5 lakh for ECE - because they include an unofficial seat premium that appears in no official document; treat those figures as indicative. Capitation is prohibited under Karnataka law, so insist on official receipts and pay only into NHCE's institutional accounts.
Is New Horizon College of Engineering a good college for engineering?
NHCE is a strong choice for students prioritising industry-integrated engineering education in Bengaluru's IT corridor. It holds NAAC A grade (CGPA 3.25), NBA accreditation for multiple programmes, AICTE Platinum rating, 4-star ARIIA rating, and has consistently placed in the NIRF 151-200 Engineering band. The autonomous curriculum (granted 2016) allows updated syllabi in AI, ML, and Data Science. Sixteen industry-sponsored Centres of Excellence with Amazon, Capgemini, SAP, Cisco, and others add practical exposure. NIRF 2025 audited placement rate is 69% with median ₹4.46 LPA; the 2025 PR batch reported 1,008 placed with highest ₹45 LPA international.
