Mukka is a suburb of Mangalore city on the shore of the Arabian Sea along Coastal Karnataka. It is located along National Highway 66 about 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of Mangalore city centre. The National Institute of Technology Karnataka campus lies just to the south. It is the gateway to Mangalore city from the north and an educational centre. It was a small town-village until recently but from 2010 the area is developing both educationally and commercially.[citation needed] The Srinivas College of Engineering and Technology and Srinivas Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre are located here.

The official language is Kannada but Tulu is the main language spoken here.
