Admission to the mechanical engineering program is merit-based, determined by scores from the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) and 12th-grade marks. Candidates select their preferred college and branch during a counseling session, with no interview required. The faculty at BMSIT are well-qualified, holding M.Tech or Ph.D. degrees, and are engaged in research and industry activities. The college conducts regular assessments and emphasizes projects, although mixed reviews exist regarding teaching effectiveness, with some students struggling to pass exams.
The fee structure varies: KCET admissions average 90,000 INR annually, while COMEDK costs about 3 lakhs INR per year, and management quota fees can reach up to 10 lakhs INR annually. Hostel fees are approximately 1 lakh INR, with additional expenses for food. Scholarships are available for minority and economically weaker students. The placement cell prepares students for job placements, achieving around 80% placement rate primarily with IT companies offering packages from 4 to 7 LPA, and a peak package of 30 LPA.
Mechanical engineering sees fewer opportunities with visits from companies like L&T and Siemens. About 80-90 companies visit annually, though internships are often unpaid and self-sought. Financial aid includes merit and government scholarships, with student loans facilitated through an on-campus bank at interest rates of 12% to 14%.
