About MS Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce Bengaluru
About MS Ramaiah College of Arts Science and Commerce
MS Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Bengaluru was established in 1962 by the MSR Education Trust — the same trust that runs MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), MS Ramaiah Medical College and MS Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences. Located on New BEL Road, Gokula in north Bengaluru, the college is affiliated to Bengaluru North University with NAAC A grade. It offers BA, BCom, BSc and BCA programmes with hostel facilities for outstation students.
The MSR trust context matters practically: students at the Arts, Science and Commerce college benefit from the broader Ramaiah campus ecosystem — library access, sports facilities and placement networks that the trust's larger professional colleges (MSRIT, Medical College) extend to the degree college students. New BEL Road is on the Bengaluru metro Purple Line — Mathikere station is 600 metres from the main campus gate.

Admission Process
Applications through Bengaluru North University affiliated colleges portal in June, or directly through the MSR trust admissions portal. Merit in 12th is the primary criterion. BSc Computer Science and BCA fill fastest due to strong demand from students in north Bengaluru targeting IT careers at the Hebbal-Manyata Tech Park corridor, 4 km from campus. Boys' and girls' hostels on campus — apply at admission for hostel; students from Tumkur, Chitradurga, Haveri and Dharwad districts make up a significant share of hostel residents given north Bengaluru's connectivity to these areas via Tumkur Road and NH48.
New BEL Road and North Bengaluru's Growth Corridor
New BEL Road connects the Ramaiah campus to Manyata Tech Park (4 km north) and Bengaluru city centre (6 km south). Manyata Tech Park alone employs over 80,000 people across companies including IBM, SAP, Goldman Sachs, Philips and Cognizant. BCA and BSc Computer Science graduates from Ramaiah College target entry-level and lateral hiring at these companies — the geographic proximity reduces the commute friction that applicants from south Bengaluru colleges face. The Mathikere metro station (600m from campus) connects to the Purple Line serving both MG Road and Whitefield.
Career Scope
BCom graduates target CA articleship at Bengaluru's Sadashivanagar and Malleshwaram CA clusters (both 3–4 km from campus), IBPS bank exams and finance operations roles at north Bengaluru tech companies. BSc Computer Science and BCA graduates target Manyata Tech Park companies for entry-level QA, support and developer roles. BA Journalism graduates find internship access to Bengaluru media organisations more readily than colleges in peripheral locations. The MSR trust placement cell runs combined drives across Ramaiah institutions — degree college students are included in drives where BCom, BA or BCA profiles fit the job requirements.
