RNSIT Admission Process 2027

BE admission at RNSIT follows three routes: KCET (Karnataka government quota, 60% of seats), COMEDK UGET (government quota for All-India candidates), and management quota (40% of seats, RNSIT direct). KCET requires Karnataka domicile. All-India candidates use the COMEDK UGET route. Minimum eligibility for all routes is 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics, with at least one of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Biology, or Electronics, and a minimum of 45% in optional subjects (40% for SC/ST).

KCET & COMEDK Route:

For the KCET route, candidates must enter RNSIT (CET Code E118) as a choice during KEA option entry. Seat allotment is automatic through centralised rounds. For COMEDK, candidates use COMEDK Code E104. RNSIT had 626 COMEDK seats in 2026, with CSE accounting for the largest allocation of 266 seats. The HKR (Hyderabad-Karnataka Region) sub-quota is reserved within the COMEDK pool for eligible candidates.

Management Quota Route:

Management quota seats are filled by RNSIT directly on a first-come-first-served basis after document verification. A valid CET, COMEDK, or JEE rank card is mandatory. Candidates without any national entrance exam score may write RNSAT (RNSIT’s in-house test) as an alternative. KCET closing rank in 2026 was 11,545 for general category. CSE historically closes within the 5,000 to 8,000 KCET rank range for general category.
