About Sri Revana Siddeshwara Institute of Technology
Sri Revana Siddeshwara Institute of Technology is a VTU-affiliated engineering college in Silvepura, North-West Bangalore — established in 1985 and one of the older private engineering colleges in this part of the city.

Placements
SRSIT places students in IT service companies. The Silvepura / Hesaraghatta Road location is in North-West Bangalore with BMTC connectivity to Yeshwanthpur and the broader city. The 1985 founding gives SRSIT an alumni network depth that colleges established post-2000 can't match.
Who Should Apply
SRSIT suits students in the 10,000 – 24,000 GM range targeting North-West Bangalore. The 1985 founding and NAAC A are solid credentials — the oldest NAAC A college on this road segment. Students from Hesaraghatta Road, Malleshwaram, or North-West Bangalore will find the location practically convenient.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If your rank reaches Acharya IT (NAAC A, Hesaraghatta Road, tighter cutoffs at 8,000 – 18,000 GM), compare autonomous status and campus infrastructure before choosing between the two. SRSIT's age is an advantage; Acharya's newer facilities may be a counter-advantage.
