Admission Process
KCET (Karnataka students): Qualify KCET and participate in KEA's online Option Entry. SJBIT is listed under Bangalore Urban district in KEA's college allocation. For South Bangalore students, SJBIT's Kengeri location is accessible through BMTC and via Kengeri Metro station on Bangalore's Purple Line.
COMEDK: COMEDK UGET qualifiers can apply to SJBIT through COMEDK's centralised counselling. The 480-student intake means SJBIT typically has seats available through multiple rounds of KCET and COMEDK counselling.
Kengeri — Metro Connectivity and South Bangalore Advantage
Kengeri is the western terminus of Namma Metro's Purple Line. The metro connects SJBIT's location directly to Majestic, MG Road, Trinity, Indiranagar and Byappanahalli — spanning Bangalore's commercial core in under 45 minutes. The Mysuru Road corridor from Kengeri connects to Electronic City (25 km) and the Bannerghatta Road IT cluster (20 km) through NICE Road, putting SJBIT students within commuting distance of South Bangalore's largest IT employment zones.
The BGS campus also includes BGS Global Hospital, creating an interdisciplinary campus environment where biomedical engineering, health informatics and medical device opportunities are accessible to BTech students through collaboration with the hospital's medical technology requirements.
Multi-Institutional Campus Benefits
Being part of the BGS Health and Education City provides SJBIT students with access to a larger campus ecosystem including shared sports facilities, auditorium, cafeteria and a broader student community beyond just engineering students. The presence of medical students on the same campus creates networking opportunities across professional disciplines that single-institution engineering colleges cannot offer.
