Overview

The College of Agricultural Engineering, UAS Bangalore is a constituent college of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, located on the Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK) campus in north Bangalore. It became a separate college in 2018, though agricultural engineering teaching at UAS goes back to a department set up in 1965, and the B.Tech programme started in 1996-97. The green, research-focused GKVK campus sets it apart from typical city engineering colleges.

The college is part of a government state agricultural university, so the degree is awarded by UAS Bangalore and it is not VTU-affiliated; its programmes are accredited by ICAR. It offers a four-year B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering through departments of Soil & Water Engineering, Processing & Food Engineering and Farm Machinery & Power Engineering, plus M.Tech programmes in these areas. Facilities include a Farm Machinery Testing Centre and a Centre of Excellence for Farm Mechanization, and students can use the hostels on the GKVK campus.

Admission is through KCET, with seats allotted by KEA under farm-science rules; a large share of seats is reserved for children of agriculturists, and some seats are filled through the ICAR national quota. Candidates need Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in 2nd PUC, so check the KEA agriculture-course eligibility rules carefully. Sign up free to see fees by quota, closing ranks and placement data.
