About Sri Krishna Institute of Technology
Sri Krishna Institute of Technology is a VTU-affiliated engineering college on Hesaraghatta Road, North-West Bangalore — established in 1987 and one of the older institutions on this corridor. NAAC A accreditation and a 35+ year track record give it institutional depth above newer colleges in the same Hesaraghatta Road belt, which also includes Acharya Institute of Technology and Sapthagiri (now Sapthagiri NPS University).

Admission Process
Karnataka domicile students apply through KCET. Standard PCM eligibility: 45% in Class 12 (40% for SC/ST). SKIT's NAAC A at the 10,000 – 24,000 GM range makes it competitive for students targeting Hesaraghatta Road.
Fee Structure
| Category | Annual Tuition (Approx) |
|---|---|
| KCET / Government Quota | Rs. 1 lakh – 1.5 lakh per year |
| Management Quota | Rs. 2 lakh – 3.5 lakh per year |
Placements
SKIT places students in IT service companies — TCS, Infosys, Wipro and similar firms recruit on campus. The Hesaraghatta Road location is in North-West Bangalore with BMTC connectivity to Yeshwanthpur and the broader city network. Students who pursue off-campus placements can leverage the Bangalore address effectively.
Who Should Apply
SKIT suits students in the 10,000 – 24,000 GM range targeting Hesaraghatta Road. The 1987 founding year and NAAC A grade give it a meaningful edge over newer and lower-graded competitors on the same road. Compare autonomous status against Acharya IT — both hold NAAC A but may differ on VTU autonomous designation.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If your rank reaches SVIT (autonomous VTU, NAAC A, Rajanakunte/Airport Road) or DSATM (NAAC A, Kanakpura Road), compare those before committing. Hesaraghatta Road is more suburban than East or South Bangalore IT corridors — factor in commute if you're targeting Whitefield or ORR IT hubs for placements.
