B.M.S. College of Engineering. orBhusanayana Mukundadas SreenivasaiahCollege of Engineering (BMSCE) is aprivateengineering college inBasavanagudi, Bangalore, India. It was started in 1946 byBhusanayana Mukundadas Sreenivasaiah and is run by the B.M.S. Educational Trust. It is affiliated withVisvesvaraya Technological University and became autonomous in 2008. BMSCE is located on Bull Temple Road,Basavanagudi, diagonally opposite to the famousBull Temple. Though a private college, it is partially funded by theGovernment of Karnataka.[1][2]
BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) has existed for 74 years and has produced more than 40,000 engineers and leaders who have made significant contributions to the world. The institution offers 14 undergraduate and 15 postgraduate courses in both conventional and emerging fields. Fourteen of its departments are recognized as research centers offeringPhD andM.Sc degrees in science, engineering, and management. At present, over 350 research scholars are pursuing their PhD degrees in these centers, and 160 PhDs have been produced so far.[3] BMSCE is an autonomous institution that has been approved by theAll India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and theUniversity Grants Commission (UGC). The institution has been practicing outcome-based education since 2008. It is the first institution inKarnataka to be accredited by theNational Board of Accreditation (NBA) in Tier I format, and it has recently received an "A++" grade from theNational Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) under Cycle II.[3][4]
The institution is also a recipient of theMinistry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Scheme on Global Initiative of Academic Network (GIAN) and the National Doctoral Fellowship (NDF) – AICTE since 2018–19.[3] BMSCE has a student population of approximately 6,000, which is one of the largest student populations among engineering colleges in Karnataka. The institution is a preferred destination for students across the country due to its quality education, infrastructure, healthy teaching-learning practices, and industry-ready graduates. The college has modern classrooms and well-equipped labs that are regularly upgraded, and the campus is Wi-Fi enabled with 24x7 internet facilities.[3]
BMSCE, a top-ranked engineering institute, boasts a robust alumni network of over 24,000 members.[3]
BMSCE was founded in 1946 byB. M. Sreenivasaiah with three undergraduate courses namelymechanical,civil, andelectrical engineering, as the first private sector initiative in engineering education in India.B. M. Sreenivasaiah was followed by his son B. S. Narayan.[2][5]
In 2024, suspicions were raised about irregularities in admission at the College for computer science seats.[6][7][8][9] In June 2025, the College, along with the Akash Institute of Engineering and Technology, and theNew Horizon College of Engineering was raided by officials from the Directorate of Enforcement to search for evidence connected to a suspected seat-blocking scandal related to student admissions for the 2024-2025 academic year.[10][11]
Students are admitted to undergraduate courses on basis of their performance in eitherKarnataka Common Entrance Test, or in the COMED-K test. There is a lateral entry scheme in place, by which students holdingdiploma degrees can enter directly to the second year of study in engineering. Students, upon graduating, receive aBachelor of Engineering degree.[12][13] Students can also take admission by MANAGEMENT QUOTA (necessary condition is the student must have given at least one among COMEDK or KCET or JEE MAINS
Students are admitted to postgraduate courses on basis of theirGATE test scores, as well as on their Post GraduateKarnataka CET scores. Students, upon graduating, receive aMaster of Computer Applications (M.C.A.) orMaster of Technology (M.Tech.) degree.[12][13] They also offer aMaster of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

R and D Center involves in identifying new research areas, developing projects leading to publications in national/international journals and conferences. Established an RandD centre at the institution level to promote research and innovation among the faculty and students. The centre helps in developing co-operative and complementary research among various departments under BMSCE to explore advanced technologies. The centre acts as the liaison between the university (VTU and Mangalore University) and the research centres at BMSCE. The centre also guides and facilitates in writing of project proposals, and scientific papers leading to publication as well as in identifying the research outcomes of research for filing patents.[20]
These research labs help the students to build prototypes which enable them to participate in competitions both in India and abroad.[20]
In October 2014, a student committed suicide on campus.[21] In January 2025 a student died by suicide on campus,[22][23]
Utsav is thecultural and signature festival of the BMS College of Engineering. It is usually held towards the end of August every year.
