Ramaiah Institute of Technology M S R Nagar Bangalore Answered Questions

That depends on which entrance exam you choose to write. For both KCET and COMED-K, you would need a rank of about 1000-1300 to get in through the first round. However, if you are lucky, you can get in through the second round with a rank of about 2500-3000.
Also, if you are very insistent on joining MSRIT and you don't get a Mechanical Engineering seat, you can pick another branch, because the coursework for the first year is common to all branches. If you do exceedingly well in the first year, MSRIT offers you an option for a branch change.

That depends on your perspective. In terms of job opportunities and chances for higher studies, it surely is, in my opinion. However, if you getting into one of the NITs or IITs, don't back out.
The faculty is excellent, especially in the Mechanical, IS, CS and ECE departments. With respect to Mechanical Engineering, the coursework might be slightly hectic, but there is huge exposure in terms of projects and internship opportunities. MSRIT is also one of the few colleges with a 100% placement record over the last few years. Doing well here will take you places.
