Admissions · collected information
RVCE admissions
Application steps
1RVCE management quota admissions are processed through the college management office directly — not through KCET or COMEDK government counselling. Here is the step-by-step process:
2Step 1 — Eligibility Check: Candidates must have passed PUC/12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks (40% for SC/ST/OBC Karnataka candidates). A valid KCET, COMEDK, or JEE Main score is preferred but not always mandatory for management quota.
3Step 2 — Contact RVCE Admissions: Message a College AndFees counsellor on Whats App for current seat availability before visiting.edu.in. Management quota seat availability is typically communicated from June onwards after KCET results.
4Step 3 — Document Submission: Submit copies of your 12th marks card, TC, migration certificate, and other required documents for review.
5Step 4 — Merit Review & Seat Offer: RVCE allocates management quota seats based on academic merit (12th PCM marks and entrance exam performance). Students with stronger academic profiles are prioritised.
6Important: RVCE is a private college and does not officially charge capitation fees. The fee structure is regulated and published officially. Be cautious of any consultant demanding amounts beyond the official published fee structure.
