Jain (Deemed-to-be University)

Jain (Deemed-to-be) University, established 1990 by the Jain Group of Institutions, is one of Bangalore's most established private deemed universities. Located across multiple Bangalore campuses (primary engineering at Jain Global Campus, Kanakapura Road), the Faculty of Engineering and Technology offers strong CSE placements (~10 LPA avg), broad multi-disciplinary exposure (management, commerce, sciences, design), and a 30+ year heritage in private higher education.

Founded by R. Chenraj Roychand (Jain Group). Distinct from St Joseph's College of Engineering (which uses a different 'Jain' name in some confusion). Jain University covers engineering + management + commerce + sciences + liberal arts + design across multiple Bangalore campuses.

BTech admission through Jain Entrance Test (JET) or JEE Main scores. ~1500 BTech intake. CSE and Cyber Security / AI specialisations are the dominant clusters.

Admission via: KCET ↗/COMEDK ↗/Direct

JET qualifier bands and JEE Main equivalents are estimates from publicly available Jain admissions communication. Verify against Jain University's official annual admissions notification.

Seat splits and fees vary by college and year. Always confirm the current management-quota fee directly with the college before deciding.

Total 4-year cost: ~₹15-19 Lakhs (CSE) / ~₹12-15 Lakhs (other branches)

Solid CSE placements driven by Bangalore location, Jain brand recognition (best known for management programs), and active recruiter outreach. CSE branch sees ~88% placement with consistent IT services and growing product company representation. Bangalore tech ecosystem (Electronic City 50 km, Whitefield 60 km) supports placement pipelines but commute distance is a factor.

Branch-wise B.Tech Placements
