Should you pick MBA Working Professionals at East Point Group of Institutions?
This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a small industrial town for two years.
Pick it if:
You work in Bangalore: the campus is off Old Madras Road, so weekend travel stays easier.
You want management roles: the placement page names IT, Core, Consulting and Finance for campus hiring.
You need to pay in parts: the fee is yearly, so ask the office before the first fee date.
You want the fee to pay back fast: the ROI tile compares INR 6.5 LPA pay with the full fee.
Skip it if:
You are counting on one test score: the college accepts four exams, so confirm which score is used first.
You need campus hostel certainty: the fee note says hostel and mess depend on room type, so get it in writing.
You want a quiet campus life: the campus is near Bangalore job areas, so travel and work can take time.
You will wait for CAT only: apply with KMAT or PGCET if you need an earlier call.

FAQs on East Point Group of Institutions MBA Working Professionals
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is MBA Working Professionals at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without living cost is INR 5.82 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 6.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the cutoff score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Karnataka seat closed at score 60 in latest round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with product and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The 2024 placement year averaged INR 6.5 LPA, the median was INR 6 LPA and 88% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a higher score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General cutoff score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 88% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 6 LPA is lower than the average of INR 6.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course higher than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick MBA if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. MBA places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its cutoff score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want MBA, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the CAT exam and fill this college in your East Point Admission Cell choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days East Point Admission Cell gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 5.82 Lakhs without living cost. With PG and living it comes to INR 8.82 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
