About Oxford College of Engineering
This Oxford College of Engineering is located at Hongasandra, Begur Road, South Bangalore — a residential area with BMTC connectivity to Electronic City, Bannerghatta Road, and Jayanagar. It's an autonomous VTU college with NAAC B++ accreditation, established in 2001.
Important: there are two "Oxford College of Engineering" entries in Bangalore — one at Hosur Road, Bommanahalli (The Oxford College of Engineering / TOCE), and this one at Hongasandra, Begur Road. Both carry the Oxford name but are at different locations in South Bangalore. Confirm which college your KCET allotment code corresponds to before accepting.

Admission Process
Karnataka domicile students apply through KCET. Standard PCM eligibility: 45% in Class 12 (40% for SC/ST). The autonomous status here is a genuine academic advantage at the 14,000 – 30,000 GM range — most non-autonomous colleges at similar cutoffs don't offer curriculum flexibility.
Fee Structure
| Category | Annual Tuition (Approx) |
|---|---|
| KCET / Government Quota | Rs. 1 lakh – 1.5 lakh per year |
| Management Quota | Rs. 2 lakh – 3 lakh per year |
Placements
IT service companies recruit from campus — Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and similar firms. The Begur Road location in South Bangalore connects to Electronic City (8–12 km) and Bannerghatta Road for off-campus drives. BMTC routes cover Hongasandra reasonably well for the city.
Who Should Apply
This college suits students in the 14,000 – 30,000 GM range targeting a South Bangalore autonomous VTU college. The autonomous curriculum at this KCET range is an advantage over non-autonomous peers. Students from Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Bannerghatta Road, or South Bangalore will find the Begur Road location practical.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
NAAC B++ is lower than most comparable autonomous colleges. If your rank reaches GAT (autonomous, NAAC A, RR Nagar) or BNMIT (autonomous, NAAC A, Banashankari) on government quota, those are stronger options. This college's advantage is autonomous status at accessible cutoffs — the NAAC grade limits it compared to peers with A or A+ ratings.
