Karnataka Management Quota Engineering Admissions 2025–26

Karnataka Management Quota Engineering Admissions

Karnataka management quota engineering admissions involve directly contacting colleges to secure seats. These seats are available in Private Unaided Engineering Colleges (25% of the intake), Private Minority Engineering Colleges (30% of the intake) and Aided Engineering Colleges (5% of the intake).

Karnataka management quota engineering admissions for the academic year 2025–26 were governed by Government Notification No. ED 170 TEC 2025 dated 05-07-2025, which provides a structured framework for seat allocation across all engineering colleges in the state. Under this framework, management quota engineering seats are distributed among three distinct types of institutions. These institutions are listed under three distinct annexures:

• Annexure B – Aided Engineering Colleges
• Annexure C – Private Unaided Engineering Colleges
• Annexure D – Private Minority Engineering Colleges

Each annexure follows a clearly defined seat distribution pattern across categories. In Annexure B, seats are allocated with 95% under CAT-1 (Government quota) and only 5% under CAT-3 (Management/NRI quota). In Annexure C, the distribution is broader with 45% CAT-1 (Government quota), 30% CAT-2 (through COMEDK), and 25% CAT-3 (Management/NRI quota), resulting in the largest pool of management quota seats. Annexure D provides a balanced structure with 40% CAT-1 (Government quota), 30% CAT-2 (through COMEDK), and 30% CAT-3 (Management/NRI quota).

Each annexure also reflects differences in seat availability across branches such as CSE, AI & ML, and other courses, along with distinct fee structures ranging from lower bands to premium fee levels depending on the institution and course.

This article presents a complete and all-inclusive breakdown of the admission framework, including:

• Detailed seat matrix (branch-wise aggregation)
• Exact fee structure values for major colleges
• Annexure-wise total seat distribution
• Comprehensive management quota (CAT-3) analysis

The objective is to provide a clear, data-driven understanding of Karnataka engineering admissions under the management quota.

Private Unaided Colleges – Annexure C

Seat Matrix (Official Totals)

Importance of Annexure C

• Annexure C is the largest contributor to engineering admissions in Karnataka, with a total intake of 95,236 seats.
• It includes 23,809 seats under CAT-3 (Management/NRI quota), which forms the biggest pool of management quota seats among all annexures.
• It serves as the primary route for management quota and NRI admissions, significantly outweighing Annexure B (147 seats) and Annexure D (3,132 seats).
• The annexure covers a wide range of private unaided colleges, including institutions with high seat availability in CSE, AI & ML, and other branches, making it central to the admission process.
