Sapthagiri College of Engineering Bangalore B.E./B.Tech Admission 2026: KCET & COMEDK Cutoff, Fees & Placements

Sapthagiri College of Engineering — College Overview

📌 What the table shows: the identity of this campus — who runs it, what it is approved as, and what to do with its code.

Sapthagiri Fee Structure 2026-27

In one line: one published fee per branch, ₹2.00–2.75 lakh a year, tuition only — and the sheet does not tell you what a government-quota seat costs.

📌 What the table shows: branch-wise annual tuition from the institution’s own 2026-27 fee sheet, with what each figure does and does not cover.

Official source: Sapthagiri NPS University, Fee Structure for UG-PG Courses 2026-27, the PDF linked from the university’s admissions fee-structure page (snpsu.edu.in/uploads/admission/fees structure Soft copy_20260411032304.pdf), captured 17 August 2026.

Why you may be quoted a different number. That sheet prints one fee per branch and never mentions KCET, COMEDK or management seats. A seat allotted by KEA under the government quota is charged the government-fixed fee printed in your KEA allotment order, which is a different document and a different amount. So the sheet’s ₹2,75,000 is the institution’s published course fee, not a route-wise price list, and a management or institutional-quota rate is not listed in any published document. If someone quotes you a “₹6–12 lakh” band for a direct seat, that band is not a published figure — ask for it in writing on letterhead, naming the branch and the academic year, before any payment.

Do not multiply. The sheet publishes 2026-27 and says nothing about later years. Karnataka fees are revised annually, so a four-year total built by multiplying today’s figure by four is your own projection, not the institution’s commitment.

Paying for it: scholarships and loans

• Government of Karnataka concessions for eligible SC/ST, OBC and economically-weaker candidates apply to the government-quota seats KEA allots; the eligibility slabs are set by the state, not by the institution.
• Institute merit incentives — the university advertises a scholarship admission test on its admissions portal, but does not publish the award amounts. Not listed. Ask for the slab in writing.
• Education loans from nationalised banks are sanctioned against the admission letter, and loans up to ₹7.5 lakh are typically collateral-free. Our education-loan guide and scholarships guide cover the process.

Hostel & Transport Fees 2026-27

In one line: ₹1.10–1.60 lakh a year covers the room and the food together — food is a fixed ₹55,000 inside every one of those totals — and campus transport is a further ₹55,000 on top of it.

Official source: Sapthagiri NPS University, Fee Structure for UG-PG Courses 2026-27, page 3, “Hostel and Transportation Fee” (snpsu.edu.in/uploads/admission/fees structure Soft copy_20260411032304.pdf), captured 17 August 2026.

The one row that does not add up. In the outside-campus table, the 3-4 sharing row prints food ₹55,000 and rent ₹75,000 against a total of ₹1,10,000. Those do not reconcile, and the discrepancy is in the published sheet rather than in our reading of it. The two rows below it in the same table are internally consistent, which suggests the rent figure is the one carried over in error — but that is an inference, not the institution’s statement. Ask the hostel office to confirm the outside-campus 3-4 sharing figure in writing before you pay a deposit.

Mess is not optional here. Food is a fixed ₹55,000 component of every hostel total on this sheet, not a separate opt-in. That matters when you compare against a college that quotes rent alone and charges mess on actuals — the cheaper-looking figure elsewhere may not be the comparable one. Publication of hostel capacity is also not an assurance of a room; hostel allotment is separate from seat allotment.

Sapthagiri Placements

In one line: the institution does not publish placement figures — its own placed-students page says “Data will update soon”.

The HRD department’s Placed Students Details page carries the line “Data will update soon” and no table. The HRD landing page shows recruiter and industry-partner logos but states no placement percentage, no average package, no median and no highest package. The placement page on the legacy college site, sapthagiri.edu.in, carries no numbers either. So for the 2026 admission cycle the placement record here is: Updating soon.

About the figures you will see quoted elsewhere. Aggregator listings for this campus repeat three figures that nothing supports: an unsourced 90% placement rate, an unsourced ₹35 LPA highest package and an unsourced ₹5 LPA average. Not one of the three appears in any document the institution publishes, so not one of them belongs on this page as a fact. Three things are worth knowing about numbers of that shape in general: a “highest package” describes one offer to one student and tells you nothing about your own outcome; a placement percentage is only meaningful when the denominator is stated, because “eligible and registered students” is a much smaller base than “the graduating batch”; and where a figure combines placement with higher studies, it cannot be compared against a college that reports placement alone.

What to ask for instead. Ask the admission office for a year-labelled placement report naming the branch, the number of students eligible, the number placed, and the median package — the median is the honest metric, because a handful of large offers pulls an average well above what a typical placed student actually receives. If the report cannot be produced in writing, treat the campus as having no published placement record and weigh it on fee, branch, seat availability and location instead. That is not a reason to rule it out; it is a reason not to choose it because of a number nobody will stand behind.

Sapthagiri KCET Cutoff 2026 — Official KEA Round 1 Closing Ranks

In one line: ECE closed at General Merit 41,710 and was the hardest branch to get; plain CSE closed at 70,165 and was among the easiest.

KEA UGCET-2026, Round 1 — code E108, closing ranks by category

Official source: Karnataka Examinations Authority, UGCET-2026 Allotment Cut-Off Ranks for Engineering — Seat Type: Rest of Karnataka, generated 15-07-2026, page 27 of 69, entry “College: E108 SAPTHAGIRI NPS UNIVERSITY #14/5, CHIKKASANDRA, HESARAGHATTA MAIN ROAD, BANGALURU” (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/keawebentry456/ugcet2026/PROF_CODE_E_R_15072026kannada.pdf), captured 17 August 2026. The second-round mock figures quoted below the table are from the same authority’s UGCET-2026 Second Round Mock Allotment Cut-Off Ranks for Engineering, generated 17-08-2026, same seat type, same page 27 (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/keawebentry456/ugcet2026/PROF_CODE_E_R_17082026kannada.pdf). If you are claiming the 371(J) Kalyana-Karnataka quota, KEA publishes that seat type as a separate list of the same date (PROF_CODE_E_H_15072026kannada.pdf) — read that one, not this one.

Read these as closing ranks, not as entry marks. Each number is the last rank allotted in that branch and category in Round 1 of 2026 — it is not a qualifying score and not a promise. A blank cell in KEA’s table means no candidate was allotted in that cell in Round 1; it is shown here as “not listed” rather than a zero, because a zero would read as a rank. Later rounds close at wider ranks as seats are surrendered, and KEA’s second-round mock allotment cut-off for engineering, published on 17 August 2026, already shows every branch here deeper than in Round 1 — plain CSE at General Merit 80,322 against 70,165, and Electronics & Communication at 49,666 against 41,710. Read those two as direction, not as outcome: KEA’s notification of the same date states that a mock allotment admits nobody to a college, that options can be added, deleted or reordered until 9.00 am on 20 August 2026, and that the real second-round result is published on its website after that. KEA names no date for it.

The trap in this table. Plain CSE closing at 70,165 while ECE closes at 41,710 does not mean ECE is the stronger programme here. It means an ECE seat is scarcer: KEA gives this campus 1,056 government-quota seats in CSE and 120 in ECE. A branch with nine times the seats runs much deeper into the rank list before it fills. Closing rank is a supply signal as much as a demand signal, and reading it as a quality ranking is the single most common mistake made with a KEA table. Weigh it beside the seat matrix, never on its own.

COMEDK cut-off for this campus

COMEDK publishes closing ranks round by round as each round concludes, on its own portal. No COMEDK 2026 round-wise cut-off for this campus is published as of 17 August 2026 — Updating soon. Our COMEDK 2026 cutoff and top Bangalore colleges guide tracks the rounds as they close.

Seat Matrix 2026-27 and How Admission Works

In one line: 4,620 sanctioned seats, of which KEA allots exactly 40% — 1,848 — through KCET.

Official source: Karnataka Examinations Authority, Engineering Seat Matrix (final), 30-06-2026 — annexure to Government Notification No. ED 101 TEC 2026 dated 29-06-2026, section “Seats in Private Universities”, entry 22, page 123 (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/keawebentry456/ugcet2026/Eng_Seat_Matrix_final_30062026kannada.pdf), captured 17 August 2026.

Where the other 60% goes. KEA’s matrix accounts only for the government-quota seats it allots. The remaining 2,772 seats are filled by the institution — through COMEDK and through its own quotas — and neither the number nor the fee attached to each of those channels is published anywhere. That is a real gap, and it is the reason to get any direct-admission offer in writing before you act on it. Publication of an intake figure is not an assurance that a seat will be available to you.

How admission runs, step by step

1. Sit KCET or COMEDK UGET and collect your rank card. Appearing for both keeps both routes open; they are counselled by different bodies on different calendars.
2. Register for the relevant counselling — KEA for KCET, the COMEDK consortium for COMEDK UGET.
3. Option entry. Search E108, confirm the Chikkasandra address on screen, then order the branch options by preference. The scarce branches here are ECE and EEE, not CSE.
4. Seat allotment, then document verification and reporting — carry originals plus photocopies.
5. Fee payment and admission confirmation, then hostel registration separately if you need a room.

Core eligibility: Class 12 or PUC with Physics and Mathematics compulsory plus one of Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science or Electronics, the minimum aggregate prescribed for your category, and a valid KCET or COMEDK score. Karnataka study and eligibility certificates apply where the state quota is claimed. Our documents checklist lists what to carry.

Sapthagiri College Code for KCET and COMEDK Option Entry

In one line: the code is E108, and it is the only reliable way to find this campus in KEA’s 2026 option-entry list.

KEA prints E108 against the name Sapthagiri NPS University in both its 2026-27 seat matrix and its Round 1 cut-off list. A candidate searching option entry for “Sapthagiri College of Engineering” can therefore come up empty, conclude the college is not participating, and skip it — on a campus that holds 1,848 government-quota seats. Enter the code, verify the address reads #14/5, Chikkasandra, Hesaraghatta Main Road, and only then lock the option. COMEDK’s institution page for the campus does not print a separate COMEDK code: not listed.

Which Branch Should You Pick Here?

Six branches, all of them computing or electrical, and the choice is narrower than the branch names suggest: four of the six are CSE variants at an identical fee.

Official source: seats from the KEA Engineering Seat Matrix (final), 30-06-2026; ranks from the KEA UGCET-2026 Round 1 cut-off list dated 15-07-2026; fees from the institution’s Fee Structure for UG-PG Courses 2026-27. All captured 17 August 2026.

Resolving the ambiguity in the names. CSE (Artificial Intelligence & Data Science) and CSE (Data Science) are two different branches with two different KEA codes, two different seat counts and closing ranks 17,000 apart. They are easy to confuse at option entry and the mistake is not reversible once a seat is allotted. Check the exact branch string on the KEA screen, not a shortened version of it.

The four branches that are not here. Mechanical, Civil, Information Science and Biotechnology do not appear for E108 in KEA’s 2026-27 seat matrix or in COMEDK’s 2026 programme list, so there is no KCET or COMEDK route into any of them this cycle. The legacy college’s NBA accreditation still names Information Science and Mechanical — that is a record of what the college was accredited for, not evidence of a seat on offer. If one of those four is what you want, confirm in writing that it is running before you spend an option on this campus.

Sapthagiri vs Other Bangalore Engineering Colleges

In one line: on the same KEA list, a CSE seat here opens up at a rank roughly seventy times deeper than at MSRIT — that is the whole comparison.

Official source: all six figures are read from the same document — Karnataka Examinations Authority, UGCET-2026 Allotment Cut-Off Ranks for Engineering — Seat Type: Rest of Karnataka, generated 15-07-2026 (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/keawebentry456/ugcet2026/PROF_CODE_E_R_15072026kannada.pdf), captured 17 August 2026.

What this table is and is not. It compares one branch, one category and one round, taken from a single official list so the six numbers are genuinely like for like. It is a demand-and-supply reading, not a quality ranking, and it says nothing about what any of these colleges charges or places — fees for the other five belong on their own pages, each with its own sources, because a fee repeated second-hand is how wrong numbers spread. The useful conclusion is narrow and practical: this campus is the CSE option that is still open when the others have closed, which is a real function on a counselling list.

One difference that is not a number. The five colleges above sit in KEA’s list of affiliated engineering colleges. This campus sits in the private-universities section of the same seat matrix. That changes which body sets your syllabus, conducts your examinations and awards your degree. It is not automatically better or worse — but it is a different thing, and it is worth being deliberate about rather than discovering later.

Campus, Facilities and Location

• Campus: 23 acres at Chikkasandra on Hesaraghatta Main Road, per COMEDK’s institution record.
• Facilities listed by COMEDK: canteen; hostels for boys and for girls; transport, sports and gymnasium; a health centre; internet on campus; smart and digital classrooms; laboratories and a digital library.
• Hostels: both inside-campus and outside-campus blocks (Srinivasa Building and AGB Layout), tariffs in the hostel section above.
• Location: north-west Bengaluru, along the corridor toward the airport side rather than the central or eastern tech belts. For an outstation student that makes hostel or nearby accommodation part of the real cost of studying here, not an optional extra.

Is Sapthagiri Right for You?

It fits a specific situation well and a different one badly, and the difference is worth being clear about.

It fits if your KCET General Merit rank sits roughly between 41,700 and 70,500 and you want a computing branch in Bengaluru that is realistically reachable. That is the band the six branches here actually closed in during KEA’s Round 1 for 2026 — 41,710 for Electronics & Communication at the tight end, 70,471 for CSE (Data Science) at the wide end — and 1,848 government-quota seats is a genuinely large door. A General Merit rank wider than that depends on the later rounds rather than on Round 1: KEA’s second-round mock allotment cut-off of 17 August 2026 puts plain CSE at 80,322, which is a mock and not an admission, but it is the direction the numbers move. If a CSE-family branch matters more to you than the college nameplate — a defensible position, since branch usually moves outcomes more than college does — this is one of the larger openings in the city at that rank.

It fits badly if you need a published placement record to justify the fee to yourself or to a lender. ₹2.75 lakh a year is a real number and the institution has not put a placement figure next to it. It also fits badly if you specifically want a VTU degree, or a core branch: Mechanical and Civil are not on offer through either counselling route this cycle.

Before you accept a seat here, settle three things in writing: which body awards the degree; what the fee is on your specific seat and route, on letterhead, with the academic year named; and whether the branch string on your allotment matches the branch you meant to choose.
