The admission process for engineering colleges starts with applications in March, followed by an online entrance exam in May. Results are announced by the end of May, and counseling begins two weeks later. Admission is based on entrance exam ranks, with the CET for Karnataka students and the Comed K for non-Karnataka students. The CET consists of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, each worth 60 marks. Admission ranks are influenced equally by academic performance and CET scores, with multiple counseling rounds to help select colleges and branches. Faculty at SIT are well-qualified, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 50:1, providing individual attention. Although generally supportive, some faculty members are criticized for outdated methods and a lack of engagement. The curriculum includes various assessments to enhance learning. The fee structure varies: Karnataka students pay approximately INR 50,000 annually due to subsidies, while non-Karnataka students pay about INR 2,00,000. Hostel fees are around INR 70,000 per year. Fees tend to increase by 10-12% annually. Placement opportunities are robust, with 70-200 companies visiting annually, including top recruiters like Amazon and Cisco. Salary packages range from 3 LPA to 50 LPA, with an average of 6-10 LPA for tech branches, and about 90-95% of students get placed. Internships and projects are integrated into the curriculum, providing practical experience. Scholarships are primarily based on Karnataka government policies, covering 80% of fees for SC/ST students. Scholarships are also available for students with a CGPA above 9.5. Loan facilities are available but have high interest rates. The total education cost, including hostel fees, ranges from INR 4.6 lakh to INR 16 lakh, depending on the entry category.
