Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology — Fees, Management Quota, Cutoffs, Placements 2026

SSIT is a constituent college of Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE), Tumakuru, which holds Deemed-to-be-University status under Section 3 of the UGC Act. Degrees are awarded by SSAHE rather than by VTU. SSIT was historically VTU-affiliated before it migrated into the SSAHE umbrella, and it now operates with full academic autonomy over curriculum and examinations, subject to AICTE and UGC oversight. The college is AICTE-approved under Permanent Institution ID 1-9751201 and carries an institutional NAAC A+ grade through SSAHE.

SSIT is located at Maralur, Tumakuru - 572105, Karnataka, on a 55-acre hillside campus roughly 70 km from Bengaluru along NH-48. The nearest railway station is Tumakuru, with regular passenger and express trains from Bengaluru City and Mysuru. KSRTC buses from Bengaluru (Majestic and Yeshwantpur) to Tumakuru run every few minutes, and the campus is about 6-8 km from the Tumakuru city centre with college-operated shuttle buses. The nearest airport is Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (~120 km).

SSIT offers approximately nine to twelve B.E. programmes: Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Information Science and Engineering (ISE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML), Data Science, Cyber Security, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (ETE), Biomedical Engineering and an emerging Robotics and Artificial Intelligence track. Indicative sanctioned intake runs to roughly 900-1,050 UG seats in aggregate; candidates should download the current AICTE Extension of Approval PDF from ssit.edu.in to verify exact 2025-26 branch-wise intake.

SSIT runs seven M.Tech specialisations: Computer Aided Design of Structures (Civil), Computer Applications in Industrial Drives (EEE), Computer Science and Engineering, Digital Electronics (ECE), Product Design and Manufacturing (ME), Thermal Power Engineering (ME), and VLSI and Embedded Systems (ECE) - with typical intakes of 9-18 seats per specialisation. An MCA programme (60 seats, two years) and an MBA through SSAHE's linked management institute operate on the same campus. SSAHE-recognised PhD research centres cover engineering disciplines plus physics, chemistry and mathematics, with admissions through an entrance test and interview under UGC norms.

UG admission operates through four channels: (a) KEA KCET using college option-entry code E017 - the primary route for Karnataka candidates; (b) COMEDK UGET using code E135 (verify on the current COMEDK institute list) - the pan-India route; (c) Management and NRI quota directly through SSAHE's admission cell; and (d) an SSAHE institutional entrance route for specific deemed-university programmes where applicable. Eligibility is 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics plus one optional science subject, minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved Karnataka categories), and a valid KCET or COMEDK score. Lateral entry for diploma holders runs through DCET.

SSIT's KEA KCET option-entry code is E017, and its COMEDK UGET college code is E135 (please verify E135 on the current COMEDK 2025-26 institute list before locking your option-entry). For PG admissions through Karnataka PGCET, SSIT's documented codes are T992 for M.Tech, C500 for MCA and B071 for MBA. Candidates should cross-check all codes on the official KEA (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) and COMEDK (comedk.org) participating-college lists published each admission season.

SSIT has held NBA accreditation for multiple core branches including CSE, ECE, EEE, ISE, Mechanical and Civil Engineering across different cycles; validity windows vary (for example, Civil and EEE were accredited up to 2023 per the official disclosure page), and newer branches are re-applying - candidates should check the NBA portal for current validity. For NIRF, SSIT files its data through SSAHE's institutional submission (Institute ID IR-E-U-0242) and has not been separately placed in the top published bands of the NIRF Engineering ranking in recent years. Private rankings such as Outlook-ICARE have featured SSIT within private engineering college lists.

SSIT-SSAHE carries a NAAC A+ institutional accreditation per the group's official disclosures, with the current cycle validity published via the NAAC portal under Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education. Some third-party aggregators have historically listed an NAAC A grade for SSIT alone (2013-2028) reflecting older disclosures; candidates should verify the latest institutional grade directly on the NAAC portal (naac.gov.in) or the SSAHE website. AICTE approval runs under Permanent Institution ID 1-9751201.
