Siddaganga Institute of Technology

Siddaganga Institute of Technology in Tumakuru was founded by the Siddaganga Math, one of Karnataka's most respected religious and educational institutions, and that backing gives the college an unusually disciplined, service-oriented character among private engineering colleges. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC and AICTE approval, teaching all the core engineering branches, with computer science and electronics the strongest draws. Tumakuru is about an hour's travel from Bengaluru, close enough for companies and internships to reach the campus while keeping hostel and living costs well below the metro. The college has a long-standing reputation within Karnataka's engineering counselling and a large alumni base. It suits students who want an established, values-driven residential engineering college with Bengaluru proximity but without Bengaluru prices.
