B.M.S. College of Engineering or Bhusanayana Mukundadas Sreenivasaiah College of Engineering (BMSCE) is a private engineering college in Basavanagudi, Bangalore, India. It was started in 1946 by Bhusanayana Mukundadas Sreenivasaiah and is run by the B.M.S. Educational Trust. It is affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University and became autonomous in 2008. BMSCE is located on Bull Temple Road, Basavanagudi, diagonally opposite to the famous Bull Temple. Though a private college, it is partially funded by the Government 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 offering PhD and M.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 the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC). The institution has been practicing outcome-based education since 2008. It is the first institution in Karnataka to be accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in Tier I format, and it has recently received an "A++" grade from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) under Cycle II.[4]
The institution is also a recipient of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Scheme on Global Initiative of Academic Network (GIAN) and the National Doctoral Fellowship (NDF) – AICTE since 2018–19. 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.
BMSCE has consistently been ranked among the best engineering institutes in the country and has a strong alumni network with over 24,000 registered members.
BMSCE was founded in 1946 by B. M. Sreenivasaiah with three undergraduate courses namely mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering, as the first private sector initiative in engineering education in India. B. M. Sreenivasaiah was followed by his son B. S. Narayan.[5]
Students are admitted to undergraduate courses on basis of their performance in either Karnataka Common Entrance Test, or in the COMED-K test. There is a lateral entry scheme in place, by which students holding diploma degrees can enter directly to the second year of study in engineering. Students, upon graduating, receive a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Students can also apply using JEE-Mains Scores.
Students are admitted to postgraduate courses on basis of their GATE test scores, as well as on their Post Graduate Karnataka CET scores. Students, upon graduating, receive a Master of Computer Applications (M.C.A.) or Master of Technology (M.Tech.) degree.[6] [7] They also offer a Master 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.[11] These research labs help the students to build prototypes which enable them to participate in competitions both in India and abroad.
Utsav is the cultural and signature festival of the BMS College of Engineering. It is usually held towards the end of August every year. Started in 1973 by a group of students, it has attracted considerable media attention and numerous sponsors over time. There are participants from institutes in other states like IIT Madras and IIT Bombay. Some of the events that pulled the crowds on day two were the rock concert and gaming competitions. Bands like Parousia, Escher's Knot, The Bicycle Days, All the Fat Children, Requiem and Solder were among those that entertained the city's rock music fans. The fest also features events like western and Indian dances, quizzes, technical events, theatre, Mad Ads, face painting, debate, dumb charades and rangoli. There are also stalls selling products made by BMSCE students. The money obtained by selling the products will be donated to Navachetana Trust, an NGO.[12] [13] [14]
The college was accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with an A++ in the Second Cycle : with a CGPA of 3.83 on a scale of four which is highest in the country.
