New Delhi: B.Sc admission to engineering colleges affiliated with VTU will be done directly through colleges for this academic year 2022. Candidates can visit the websites of the engineering colleges and apply for the B.Sc courses directly.
As per a report published in Deccan Herald, VTU has already identified 66 affiliated colleges, both government and private, based on the facilities and availability of faculties to offer BSc courses. It started offering BSc courses in line with National Education Policy (NEP) from the 2021-22 academic year and the admissions were done through Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) based on Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) performance.
Prof Karisiddappa, Vice-Chancellor, VTU said, “It is a four-year BSc (Honours) programme that comes with an exit option as per the National Education Policy (NEP) guidelines. The university has decided to start the courses following a suggestion by the Higher Education Minister Dr CN Ashwath Narayan.”
Considering the delay in admissions and commencement of the classes, the university has decided to conduct admissions directly at the college level this year. As per the information available from the VTU, 33 affiliated engineering colleges are offering admission to the BSc courses.

Prof Karisiddappa said last year, “Our engineering colleges have the best faculties in physics and mathematics. With this, we can make better use of their knowledge and experience. This year, we have shortlisted 66 colleges and are waiting for an approval from the government.”
With the start of the BSc course, the engineering colleges will become multi-disciplinary and the students who take up BSc courses at these colleges can study courses such as computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) as open electives.
“The priority will be given to those who have written KCET and the seat allotment will be done through KEA. In case there are vacant seats, we will allow non-KCET students...,” added the vice-chancellor.
The intake decided per college is 60 and the certificate will be provided by VTU as an allied science degree course.
