Maharaja Institute of Technology Mysuru — NAAC A Engineering in Karnataka's Palace City
Maharaja Institute of Technology (MIT Mysuru) is a private engineering college established in 2007 under the Maharaja Educational Trust in Mysuru, affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and approved by AICTE. MIT Mysuru holds NAAC A accreditation — placing it among the higher-quality private engineering colleges in Mysuru's engineering education landscape, alongside GSSS IET and above the B+ institutions like VVCE and VVIET. The college admits approximately 300 BE students per year from its Belawadi campus on the outskirts of Mysuru city.
For students choosing engineering in Mysuru — Karnataka's most liveable city and the Bangalore-Mysuru corridor's educational hub — MIT Mysuru's NAAC A is the key differentiator that places it above mid-tier Mysuru engineering colleges. In a city where the government colleges SJCE and NIE hold NAAC A+ (the highest grade and among Karnataka's best engineering colleges), MIT Mysuru provides the private college NAAC A option for students whose KCET ranks fall short of SJCE and NIE's competitive cutoffs but who want an accredited Mysuru engineering education.
Courses at MIT Mysuru
MIT Mysuru offers BE programmes across core engineering branches. Standard offerings include Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Information Science and Engineering (ISE), and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE). NAAC A accreditation covers the institution broadly — assess specific branches through lab quality and faculty credentials when visiting. Verify the current branch list and intake at mitmysore.in.

NAAC A in Mysuru's Engineering College Context
Mysuru's engineering college hierarchy is clear: government colleges SJCE (est. 1963) and NIE (est. 1946) hold NAAC A+ — Karnataka's top engineering colleges outside Bangalore — and are the first-choice options for students with high KCET ranks from south Karnataka. Below them, NAAC A private colleges like MIT Mysuru and GSSS IET (women-only) serve students in the next KCET rank band who want Mysuru's quality of life without paying higher fees for the B+ alternatives. For students who receive MIT Mysuru through KCET or COMEDK, the NAAC A grade gives confidence that the institution meets standards that most Mysuru private engineering colleges haven't achieved.
Mysuru — Engineering Study Capital of South Karnataka
Mysuru's advantages for engineering students are well-established: 40 to 50% lower cost of living than Bangalore, India's safest large city reputation, pleasant 770-metre elevation climate, cultural richness (Mysore Palace, Dasara), and a 170-kilometre expressway connection to Bangalore's job market. For students from south Karnataka districts — Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Hassan, Kodagu — studying in Mysuru means staying close to home without compromising on educational quality. MIT Mysuru's Belawadi campus is accessible from Mysuru city by KSRTC city buses and auto-rickshaws, with the Mysuru-Bangalore expressway making Bangalore accessible in under 2.5 hours for career events and placements.
Admission — KCET and COMEDK
MIT Mysuru admits BE students through KCET for Karnataka state quota and COMEDK for management quota. NAAC A accreditation places MIT Mysuru's KCET closing ranks above B+ colleges in Mysuru but below the government colleges (SJCE, NIE) with NAAC A+. Tamil Nadu and Kerala students apply through COMEDK for management quota seats. PCM in Class 12 with minimum 45% aggregate is mandatory.
