Should you pick the MBA at SIT Tumakuru?
This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA with a finance or analytics focus and can live in Tumakuru for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a finance or markets role: the department works with MCX and NISM, and finance students take Bloomberg and NSE certificate courses.
You want an internship set up for you: in 2025 the department placed 109 students in internships across 48 organisations.
Your PGCET rank misses the round 1 close: in 2025 later rounds took the General seat to rank 12,579, so keep it in your options.
You want a low fee: a KEA seat here costs INR 1.27 Lakhs for both years, the same tuition KEA fixes for every private college.
Skip it if:
You want a big-city campus: the campus is in Tumakuru, about 70 km from Bengaluru, and company visits are planned trips to Mumbai and local firms.
You want MBA-only placement figures first: the institute files one figure for all PG courses, so ask the department for the MBA list before you pay.
You need non-vegetarian food in the hostel: the hostel mess serves vegetarian meals, so you eat outside for anything else.
You are waiting for a second round: KEA has asked the Supreme Court for two more rounds, so a second round is not certain this year.
Counsellor's advice
If round 1 gave you this seat, take Choice 1 and join. If you are waiting for a later round, keep a safer college above it, because more rounds are not certain.
MBA Eligibility▾
Degree: Any bachelor's degree with 50% marks. 45% for SC and ST.
Exam for a KEA seat: A PGCET rank from the same year. KEA fills 57 seats on it.
Exam for a college seat: A KMAT, CAT or MAT score for the seats the college fills.
KEA seat split: KEA seats are split into Rest of Karnataka and Kalyana Karnataka seats.
MBA Admission Process▾
Write PGCET: KEA holds one MBA paper of 100 marks. Your rank decides your KEA seat.
Enter options: List colleges in your order on the KEA portal. A mock allotment lets you change them.
Pick a choice: Choice 1 means you join. Choice 2 means you pay but want a better seat. Choice 3 means you wait.
Pay and report: Pay the fee at the bank and report with your originals by the last date, or you lose the seat.
College seats: For the seats the college fills, apply to the college with your KMAT, CAT or MAT score.

In 2025 the General ranks that got in went from 804 to 12,579 across the rounds. Trust the round 1 close of 4,038; a rank near 12,579 helps only if KEA holds more rounds this year.

In short
RNSIT is harder to get into and its MBA median is lower than the figure SIT files for all its PG courses. If your rank clears RNSIT and you want a Bengaluru campus, take it; if not, take SIT.
In short
CMRIT has the same fee and seats, a tougher closing rank and an MBA median of INR 6 LPA. If your rank clears CMRIT and you want Bengaluru, it is a fair pick; if not, take SIT.
In short
SJBIT is easier to get, but it placed only 11% of its MBA batch in 2025. If SIT gives you a seat, take SIT and keep SJBIT only as a backup.
In short
GAT is the easiest seat here and has more KEA seats, but it placed 57% of its MBA batch. If your rank misses SIT, list GAT below it as your safer choice.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on SIT Tumakuru MBA
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the MBA at SIT Tumakuru worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students on a KEA seat. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.27 Lakhs, and all PG courses here had a median pay of INR 7.9 LPA in 2025. The fee is small next to that pay. The pay figure is not MBA-only, so ask the department for the MBA list before you pay.
What job will I get after this MBA?▾
It depends on the specialisation you pick in semester 3. Finance students train for markets roles through the work with MCX and NISM, and the 2025 internships covered manufacturing, IT, healthcare and consulting. The institute does not publish an MBA-only recruiter list, so ask the placement office which companies hired the last MBA batch.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the round 1 closing rank?▾
Only if you can afford to wait. The General seat closed at 4,038 in round 1 of 2026, and in 2025 later rounds reached 12,579. KEA has asked the Supreme Court for more rounds, but they are not certain. Keep a safer college above this one in your options and check the rank checker above for your category.
Who should not take this MBA?▾
Skip it if you want a big-city campus or non-vegetarian hostel food. The campus is in Tumakuru, about 70 km from Bengaluru, and the hostel mess serves vegetarian meals. If you want to meet companies every week on your own, a college inside a big city may suit you better.
Which specialisation should I pick here?▾
Pick by the job you want. Finance, Marketing, HR and Business Analytics are offered, and you choose your papers in semester 3. Finance gets the most support here through the work with MCX and NISM. If you like data, Business Analytics teaches R and Python, so check the syllabus before you choose.
Is this MBA good for a Ph.D. or research later?▾
Yes, the department is a VTU research centre. Seven scholars have finished a Ph.D. here and 12 are working on one. If research is your plan, do your semester 4 project with a faculty guide and ask about the Ph.D. route in year 2.
Should I wait a year for a better PGCET rank?▾
Usually no. KEA fixes the same tuition at every private college, so a better rank changes your college, not your fee. If your rank already clears 4,038 for General, take the seat now. Wait only if you are aiming for a college with a much tougher closing rank.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most PG students here were placed, 94% in 2025, but that figure covers all PG courses. The course has 120 seats, so the last students can wait longer for an offer. Keep your marks steady, treat the semester 3 internship as a job trial and attend every placement training session.
How do I get admission to this MBA?▾
Write PGCET and enter this college in your KEA options. KEA fills 57 seats on your rank and the college fills the rest on a KMAT, CAT or MAT score. After allotment, pay the fee and report with your originals by the last date, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
A KEA seat costs INR 1.27 Lakhs for both years without hostel. That is the KEA tuition of INR 57,750 a year and the VTU fee of INR 11,880. If your degree is from outside Karnataka, the total is INR 1.29 Lakhs. The management seat fee is not published, so ask the college.
Is there a hostel and what does it cost?▾
Yes. The campus has four boys' hostels and two girls' hostels for 2,100 students, with shared rooms. The hostel fee is not published, so ask the hostel office for the yearly fee and the mess charge before you pay.
Can I get a scholarship on this MBA?▾
Yes, if you are SC, ST or from an OBC category with a low family income. Two state schemes can cover the full tuition fee of INR 1.16 Lakhs: the SC and ST scheme up to INR 2.5 Lakhs income, and the BCWD scheme for Category 1, 2A, 3A and 3B. Use the calculator above and apply on the SSP portal after admission.
The college boasts excellent facilities and a strong teaching faculty, featuring renowned instructors like Ajoy Sir, Vivek Sir, and Preethi Ma'am. Students must pass two internal exams, each worth 50 marks, and four quizzes totaling 25 marks per semester to qualify for exams, ensuring a rigorous academic atmosphere. By the third semester, students become eligible for placements, with many securing positions in top companies, despite delays due to COVID-19. The MBA program is well-structured, supported by strong faculty, and offers various extracurricular activities such as business plan competitions, marketing events, and cultural festivals.
The annual fee for students admitted through the CET is 120,000, while those admitted through management seats pay 200,000 per year. CET students pay an initial 56,000, later refunded as a scholarship mid-course. Although the fees are higher than other colleges, the scholarship partially offsets the cost for CET students.
