Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT), Bangalore

About Bangalore Institute of Technology

Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) was established in 1979 under the Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha (RVS), a long-standing Karnataka educational trust. The college sits on K.R. Road in V.V. Puram, in central Bengaluru, close to Basavanagudi and the city’s commercial core. BIT is a government-aided, private institution affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), and was granted autonomous status in 2023, letting it frame its own curriculum while VTU confers the degree.

BIT is approved by AICTE and accredited by NAAC with an A+ grade, with NBA accreditation for eligible programmes. It has appeared in the NIRF 251-300 band for engineering in past cycles; check the latest NIRF disclosure for the current figure.
