The seat distribution at Sapthagiri College of Engineering follows a specific quota system for the BE course. 45% of the total seats are reserved for Karnataka students through the KCET (CET) quota. Another 30% is open to both Karnataka and non-Karnataka students via the COMEDK quota. The remaining 25% of BE seats are filled through the Management quota. This structured approach ensures that the college maintains a mix of local talent and students from across the country.

The Supernumerary Quota (SNQ) is an additional 5% of seats available at Sapthagiri College of Engineering for the BE program.

These seats are over and above the regular intake, providing extra opportunities for deserving candidates.

Absolutely! The non-Karnataka students can either compete for a seat under the 30% COMEDK quota, which is available for students from all over India, or apply directly under the 25% Management quota. But for the management quota, the costs would be higher.
