COA-approved Architecture Colleges in Bangalore: common questions
Is management quota admission available in COA-approved colleges in Bangalore?
Yes. Every private college in Karnataka keeps a share of its seats to fill directly, outside the KCET and COMEDK counselling rounds, and COA-approved colleges here are no exception. The management-quota fee is set by the college: normally well above the KEA government-quota fee for the same seat and below the NRI fee. Any payment beyond the declared fee is unlawful under Karnataka's capitation-fee Act, so pay the college itself and keep a receipt.
