Srinivas University

Srinivas University in Mangalore, established in 2013, consolidated the long-running Srinivas group of professional colleges into a private university, and its teaching remains profession-first — engineering is prominent, with computer science, electronics, mechanical and electrical branches on offer. It holds UGC recognition and an A grade from NAAC. Mangalore is a congenial base for a student: a clean, mid-sized coastal city with a strong banking and education tradition, a modest IT and services sector of its own, and living costs well below Bengaluru, to which it is well connected. Admissions are accessible compared with Karnataka's government engineering seats, and fees sit at typical private levels for the region. It suits students from coastal Karnataka and Kerala's northern districts who want a private professional degree in a comfortable coastal city rather than the competitive scramble of Bengaluru.
