CMR’s Lakeside campus teaches engineering. OMBR, HRBR and City locations serve other courses. Campus allocation also changes some fees: three-year BCA tuition totals ₹3.75 lakh at Lakeside and ₹4.05 lakh at OMBR at their respective semester rates.
The Lakeside campus has a makerspace with 3D printers, laser cutters and electronics workstations, alongside classrooms, a library, cafeteria, dining hall and an AV hall. The makerspace supports model building and testing for engineering, design and architecture projects.
Its equipment includes Bambu Lab printers, EinScan scanners and a CO2 laser cutter. Students can also take optional short courses in prototyping and tool use. The academic blocks include computer laboratories, discussion rooms and a mini-library, as well as ramps and lifts.
Lakeside hosts engineering, architecture and design, as well as management, commerce and computing programmes in its academic blocks. OMBR and City/HRBR have separate programme and counselling entries; general BCA is offered at both OMBR and Lakeside at different tuition rates.
The distinction also applies to postgraduate admission. MBA counselling uses B149 for OMBR, B150 for City and B395 for Lakeside; MCA uses C527 for OMBR and C521 for Lakeside. On-campus Lakeside residences have separate boys’ and girls’ accommodation.
| Campus | Programmes and access |
|---|---|
| Lakeside | Engineering; selected computer studies; on-campus residences |
| OMBR | Computer studies and named management routes |
| City / HRBR | University administration and named programme routes |
CMR’s engineering, design and architecture students have access to a shared prototyping makerspace. The CSE curriculum includes Python, C, Java, data structures, operating systems and database management, together with internships and career preparation. MBA students can choose two areas of specialisation.
Campus choice changes the cost: general BCA tuition differs by ₹30,000 over three years between OMBR and Lakeside at these rates. Hostel charges are additional to tuition. For employment outcomes, the available engineering figure is the engineering school’s highest offer; there is no matching CSE median or eligible-batch count in that summary.
Law ranks 29 out of 200 in the 2026 Collegedunia ranking. The corresponding Commerce and MBA positions are 224 out of 300 and 315 out of 350. In the Times Engineering Survey 2026, CMR is 65 among 125 private engineering institutes and 42 among 70 private engineering institutes for placements. These are separate subject and agency comparisons, with the full details on the Rankings page.
