RVCE Bangalore Engineering and Architecture Courses & Fees 2026

Hello Srijit,

A direct answer to your question is a NO, as RVCE does not accept JEE MAINS scores for merit-based seats. The only way to get admission is through the entrance exam: KCET( for Karnataka residents) and COMDEK UGET( for Non-Karnataka residents and Karnataka residents).

Therefore, you need to look for any other colleges in Bengaluru that do accept JEE MAINS.

I hope this  helps you.

Thankyou.

Yes, to get admission into colleges that come under PMSSS (Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme) such as RV College of Engineering (RVCE), BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE), and other private engineering colleges in Karnataka, you generally need to qualify through the regular engineering admission process of the state or the institute. PMSSS itself does not conduct a separate entrance exam; it only provides a scholarship to eligible students after admission.

For most Karnataka engineering colleges like RVCE and BMSCE, admission is primarily done through KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) for state quota seats and through COMEDK UGET for management/private quota seats. Students applying under PMSSS are usually required to secure admission through one of these recognised entrance exams, depending on the seat category available for PMSSS candidates in that particular college.

In some cases, if you are opting for management quota seats, the college may consider your JEE Main score or conduct its own admission process, but this varies from college to college. After securing admission through the approved entrance route, eligible students from J&K and other notified regions can then apply for PMSSS to receive the scholarship benefits.

So, in summary, you are required to appear for an entrance exam like KCET, COMEDK, or sometimes JEE Main, depending on the college and seat type. PMSSS works as a financial support scheme and not as an alternative admission route. It is important to check the admission brochure of both the college and PMSSS for the specific year to understand seat availability and eligibility conditions clearly.

All the best.
