SEC MBA Eligibility

You need a bachelor's degree of at least three years with 50% marks, or 45% if you are from a reserved community. You also need a TANCET score for a state quota seat, or a CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET score for a management quota seat. The same rule holds for every specialisation.

Requirement	What you need
Degree	Any bachelor's degree of three years or more
Degree marks	50% (45% for reserved communities)
Exam, state quota	TANCET score, through the state MBA counselling
Exam, management quota	CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET score
Nationality	Indian nationals for the state counselling

SEC MBA Admission Process

There are two ways in: the state counselling with your TANCET score, or the college's own management quota. In the state counselling you list colleges in order, and a seat comes in the round your rank reaches. You do not pick a specialisation at this stage.

Step	What you do
Write TANCET	Anna University holds it once a year, in May.
Register for counselling	Apply online for the state MBA counselling in June.
Fill choices	List this college among your choices, best first.
Or apply to the college	Management quota seats take CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET.
Pay and report	Pay the fee and report with your original papers.

SEC MBA Branches and Seats

The college has 240 MBA seats in all, and the fee is INR 70,000 for each of the four specialisations. Seats are not split by specialisation, because you choose it through your elective courses after joining. The college brochure also lists Business Analytics as a fifth option. Every specialisation name below opens its own course page.

Specialisation	Full fee	Seats
MBA Finance	INR 70,000	Shared pool of 240
MBA Human Resource	INR 70,000	Shared pool of 240
MBA Marketing	INR 70,000	Shared pool of 240
MBA Operations	INR 70,000	Shared pool of 240

SEC MBA Entry routes

The college fills its 240 seats through two routes: the state quota through TANCET, and the management quota. It does not publish a closing TANCET score. Both routes open every specialisation, since the choice comes later through electives.

Route	What it opens	What decides the seat
TANCET, state quota	Every specialisation	Your TANCET rank in the state MBA counselling
Management quota	Every specialisation	Your CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET score and degree marks

Which MBA specialisation should you pick at SEC?

Specialisation

FinanceHRMarketingOperations

Finance (Finance)

INR 70,000 for two years, the same fee as every specialisation.

Pick it if:

You want a bank or finance job: Axis Bank, HDB Financial Services, HDFC Life and Standard Chartered are on the college's MBA recruiter list.

You want to trade on real market screens: the department has a Finance Lab with NSE terminals and a FinTech Lab for the finance students.

You want proof that finance offers come here: a second-year MBA student from this college took an offer at Mr. Cooper, a US mortgage firm.

Skip it if:

You want a finance-only first year: the first year is the same for everyone, and finance comes only through the electives you pick later.

You dislike spreadsheets: every new batch starts with a bridge course in Power BI and Excel, and finance electives lean on both.

Open the full MBA Finance page

Human Resource (HR)

INR 70,000 for two years, the same fee as every specialisation.

Pick it if:

You want a people or HR role: the college trains students on HRM and payroll software, and alumni work as HR specialists in healthcare services firms.

You like working with people: the department has a Life Design Lab and outbound leadership training by Pegasus Academy for every learner.

You are not sure between HR and another field: HR is a set of electives, so you can decide after the first year with some classes behind you.

Skip it if:

You want a pay figure for HR alone: the college publishes one average for the whole MBA batch, not one for each specialisation.

You want an HR degree title: the degree reads MBA for everyone, and HR shows only in the electives on your mark sheet.

Open the full MBA Human Resource page

Marketing (Marketing)

INR 70,000 for two years, the same fee as every specialisation.

Pick it if:

You want sales or brand roles: the department has a Sales Lab, and firms such as Policybazaar and bigbasket are on its MBA recruiter list.

You learn best out in the field: the course takes you to retail malls, live markets and factory tours as part of class work.

You want a CRM skill on your CV: the college trains and certifies students on Zoho for CRM work before placements.

Skip it if:

You dislike targets and travel: the sales roles that firms like Policybazaar and bigbasket offer usually come with targets and field work.

You want marks without a long project: the final semester is a 16-week project, often inside a company, for every specialisation.

Open the full MBA Marketing page

Operations (Operations)

INR 70,000 for two years, the same fee as every specialisation.

Pick it if:

You want plant or supply chain work: the campus is near the Sriperumbudur factory belt, and Valeo and Motherson are on the MBA recruiter list.

You want proof that plant firms hire here: a second-year MBA student from this college took an offer at Valeo, a global car parts maker.

You want to see factories before you graduate: the course includes factory tours as part of its field visits.

Skip it if:

You want a city office job: most operations roles near this campus sit in plants and warehouses on the highway, not in city offices.

You want a campus inside the city: Thandalam is on the Chennai to Bengaluru highway, so plan for the college bus or the hostel.

Open the full MBA Operations page

Exam, state quota: A TANCET score, used for your rank in the state MBA counselling.

Same rule, every specialisation: All four use one rule; you pick your specialisation later through electives.

Nationality: Only Indian nationals can apply through the state counselling.

MBA Admission Process▾

Write TANCET: Anna University holds it once a year, in May. Register in March or April.

Register for state counselling: Apply online for the state MBA counselling in June and check your rank in July.

Fill your choices: Your list is an order of colleges, not specialisations. Put this college where you want it.

Or apply to the college: Management quota seats take CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET. Ask for the merit waiver before you pay.

FAQs on Saveetha Engineering College MBA

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get admission to the MBA here?▾

Write TANCET in May and take part in the state MBA counselling, where you list this college among your choices. You can also apply to the college for a management quota seat with a CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT or TANCET score. Either way, you need 50% in your degree, or 45% if you are from a reserved community.

Is the fee the same for every specialisation?▾

Yes. The full two-year fee is INR 70,000 without hostel for every specialisation. With the hostel fee it comes to INR 2,25,200. Both totals sit in the fee block above.

When do I choose my specialisation?▾

After you join. The first year is common, and your specialisation comes from the elective courses you pick later. So you can join first and decide once you know which subjects you enjoy.

Can I get the tuition fee waived?▾

Yes, on prior approval. A TANCET percentile above 95 takes 100% of the tuition fee off, and lower levels take 75%, 50% or 25% off. Management quota students get the same on their Class 10, Class 12 and degree marks.

Does pay differ by specialisation?▾

The college publishes one figure for the whole MBA batch: an average of INR 5.36 LPA and 93% placed. Nothing is published by specialisation, so compare the recruiters instead of pay.

Is there an internship in the MBA?▾

Yes. Every student does a four-week internship after the second semester, and the final semester is a 16-week project that you can do inside a company.

Do I get the fee back if I leave?▾

The college follows the refund rules of AICTE and the state fee committee. Leave early and most of the fee comes back; leave late and the college keeps a part. Ask for the refund table in writing before you pay.
