Don Bosco Institute of Technology management quota admission gives students a direct way into DBIT, a VTU affiliated college on Mysore Road in South West Bangalore, when KCET or COMEDK counselling does not deliver the branch they were hoping for. DBIT was set up in 2001 and holds NBA accreditation for five of its B.E. programmes. Below you will find the branches, eligibility rules, documents and the admission process for the 2027 intake.
Which Don Bosco Is This?
The Don Bosco name is shared by a large number of schools and colleges across India. This guide covers only Don Bosco Institute of Technology at Kumbalagodu, Mysore Road, Bangalore, which is run by the Wayanamac Education Trust. It is a different college from Don Bosco Institute of Technology in Kurla, Mumbai, and it is not one of the Don Bosco schools in Bangalore. Each of these handles its own admissions, so always mention DBIT Bangalore, Kumbalagodu when you enquire.

How Management Seats Work at DBIT
Most B.E. seats at DBIT are allotted through KEA (KCET) and COMEDK counselling. A smaller share is set aside as the management quota, which the college fills directly under Karnataka Higher Education Department rules. A student who joins through this route sits in the same classroom, follows the same VTU scheme and receives the same degree as a counselling student.
