All fees are collected and published under the parent NIE admissions portal on nie.ac.in.

Admission to B.Tech at NIEIT Mysore for AY 2026-27 is through three main channels. Karnataka domicile candidates apply through KCET via the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) counselling, where NIEIT participates as NIE North Campus (college code E197). Non-Karnataka and cross-state candidates apply through COMEDK UGET counselling under code E134. A management quota is also available directly through the NIE admissions office by submitting the application form on nie.ac.in along with class 12 marksheet, KCET/COMEDK/JEE Main scorecard (if any), and supporting documents. Application windows typically open March-April 2026 with seat allotment between June and August.

To be eligible for B.Tech admission at NIEIT Mysore, candidates must have passed class 12 (or equivalent 10+2) with Physics, Mathematics and one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or Electronics as the fourth subject, scoring a minimum of 45 percent aggregate (40 percent for SC/ST/OBC reserved categories in Karnataka). A valid KCET, COMEDK UGET or JEE Main 2026 rank is required for the respective counselling channel. Minimum age is 17 years as on 31 December 2026. Lateral entry to second year B.Tech is open to diploma holders in engineering with at least 45 percent aggregate through the Karnataka DCET route.

NIEIT Mysore (NIE North Campus) and the parent NIE Mysore (South Campus) are both run by the National Education Trust / NIE Foundation but are different institutions with different regulatory statuses. The flagship NIE Mysore on Manandavadi Road was established in 1946, is grant-in-aid, and holds VTU autonomous status from 2007, with stronger NAAC, NBA and NIRF profile. NIEIT, established 2008 at Hootagalli Industrial Area, is a separate VTU-affiliated private college (non-autonomous) that shares branding and administrative services with the parent NIE under a single nie.ac.in portal. North Campus focuses on CSE, ISE and AI-ML branches; South Campus runs Civil, EEE, ECE and Mechanical branches.

NIEIT Mysore (NIE North Campus) focuses primarily on computing and emerging-technology branches. Core offerings for 2026-27 include B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), B.Tech Information Science and Engineering (ISE), and B.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI-ML). Per-branch sanctioned intake is in the 60-120 range each, with CSE traditionally the largest. The parent NIE South Campus handles Civil, EEE, ECE and Mechanical branches, so North and South Campus intakes together make up around 700 shared institution-wide B.Tech seats. Final AICTE-approved 2026-27 intake splits are published annually on the NIE disclosure page.

NIEIT Mysore operates under the same National Education Trust umbrella as the parent NIE Mysore, which is NAAC-accredited and holds NBA accreditation for several of its engineering programmes. UGC Section 2(f) and 12(B) recognition applies at the parent-institution level. AICTE Extension of Approval (EOA) is granted annually for NIEIT as a separate listed institution. VTU Belagavi affiliation is continuous since NIEIT inception in 2008 under non-autonomous status (unlike the parent NIE South Campus, which is VTU-autonomous since 2007). NIEIT-specific NAAC cycle validity and programme-wise NBA validity should be cross-checked on the NAAC, NBA, and AICTE portals before any application decision for 2026-27.
