RV College of Engineering (RVCE), Bengaluru, was founded in 1963 with three engineering branches, Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical. It is run by Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust and is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. UGC extended its autonomous status for a further ten years, covering academic years 2024-25 through 2033-34, under the UGC (Conferment of Autonomous Status) Regulations 2023.
The college holds NAAC A+ accreditation, CGPA 3.39, Second Cycle, awarded 29 November 2024 and valid to 28 November 2029. It falls in the 101-150 band for NIRF 2025 Engineering, a band for which NIRF discloses no exact numeric rank or score.

RVCE's 2026-27 B.E. branch list spans 13 disciplines: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Industrial Engineering and Management, Chemical, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Biotechnology, Aerospace, and three Computer Science specialisations, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cyber Security, and Data Science. It also runs 12 M.Tech programmes and an MCA programme. RVCE does not offer an MBA; that programme is run separately by RV Institute of Management, a sister institution under the same trust.
Admission to B.E. programmes requires a valid rank in KCET, COMEDK UGET, or JEE Main. The exact seat-matrix split across these three routes was not available as a directly confirmed official figure at the time of writing.

| KCET | Karnataka state rank |
| COMEDK UGET | COMEDK rank |
| JEE Main | JEE Main rank |
For the 2026-27 cycle, KCET 2026 Round 2 choice entry was reported ending around 13 August 2026, and COMEDK UGET 2026's Round 1 allotment result and fee-payment window ran 12 to 14 August 2026, both genuinely active as of the time this page was drafted. Exact seat-matrix percentages by admission route were not confirmed from an official RVCE or Karnataka Examinations Authority document and are not stated here.
