About T John Institute of Technology
T John Institute of Technology sits on Bannerghatta Road at Gottigere — a South Bangalore corridor that runs directly toward Electronic City, one of Karnataka's largest IT employment clusters. The college is part of the T John Group of Institutions, which also runs T John College (arts and science) and T John College of Pharmacy in the same area. The Bannerghatta Road belt gives TJIT practical proximity to the Electronic City and Jigani industrial zones without being as far out as some Anekal-area colleges.

Admission Process
Karnataka domicile students apply through KCET. Standard PCM eligibility: 45% in Class 12 (40% for SC/ST). TJIT's KCET cutoffs are accessible in the 20,000 – 42,000 GM range — a late-round option for students targeting South Bangalore with KCET scores that don't reach more competitive colleges.
Fee Structure
| Category | Annual Tuition (Approx) |
|---|---|
| KCET / Government Quota | Rs. 1 lakh – 1.5 lakh per year |
| Management Quota | Rs. 1.8 lakh – 3 lakh per year |
Placements
TJIT places students in IT service companies. The Bannerghatta Road location offers reasonable access to Electronic City — roughly 10–12 km north — for off-campus drives. Jigani Industrial Area is also accessible for students targeting manufacturing and core engineering roles. On-campus recruitment includes TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and similar service firms.
Who Should Apply to TJIT
TJIT suits students in the 20,000 – 42,000 GM range who want a South Bangalore address near the Bannerghatta Road corridor. Students from JP Nagar, Gottigere, Bannerghatta, or South Bangalore generally will find the location practical. The T John Group multi-institution campus provides some inter-college activity and shared facilities.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If your KCET rank can reach TOCE (Hosur Road, closer to Electronic City) or DSCE (South Bangalore, stronger placement record), those are stronger choices at comparable KCET cutoffs. TJIT is a reasonable late-round fallback for a Bangalore seat — not a first-choice option for students with competitive scores.
