Shridevi Medical-Engineering Campus
The Shridevi campus housing both engineering and medical institutions creates a unique environment for biomedical engineering applications. Engineering students have proximity to medical technology, hospital infrastructure and healthcare IT systems that increasingly intersect with electrical, computer and biomedical engineering. This interdisciplinary exposure is relevant for students interested in medical devices, health informatics and hospital automation — growing employment sectors in Karnataka's expanding healthcare industry.
