Should you pick MBA at Koshys Institute of Management Studies?
This course suits students who want a sales, finance or HR job and can study in north Bangalore for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a sales or finance services job: Muthoot Finance, DHFL and Firstsource are on the college's recruiter list, so these roles come to campus.
You want to choose a specialisation: the college lists Finance, Marketing, HR, Healthcare Management and Logistics and Supply Chain for year 2.
Your PGCET went badly but you have a CAT, MAT or KMAT score: the college takes these scores too, so you can still apply.
You want the fee back fast: at INR 4 LPA the full fee of INR 3.25 Lakhs comes back in about one working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a high package: the average is INR 4 LPA and the top offer is INR 9 LPA, so most offers sit far below the top.
You are counting on last year's closing rank: the General close moved from 43,409 to 30,611 in two years, so it got tougher each year.
You want internships in the city centre on weekdays: the campus is at Kannur on Hennur-Bagalur Road in north Bangalore, a long ride from the central offices.
You need hostel and mess inside the fee: the hostels are separate for boys and girls, and you pay for them on top of the course fee.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA offers you this college in round 1 and your rank is near 30,611, accept it and pay the fee on time. If you want a finance or sales role, ask the placement cell for the recruiter list before you pay.

Will your score get you a seat at Koshys Institute of Management Studies?
Pick the exam you took. The cutoff ranges use the college's 2025 closing rank and score.
Exam
Karnataka PGCET · General
30,611 or better: yes, you are inside the 2025 General close. Keep this college high in your KEA options.
30,612 to 35,066: almost there. The 2024 close was 35,066, so a later round may still reach you.
Worse than 35,066: not likely this year. Apply with a CAT, MAT or KMAT score instead.
CAT · All categories
40 percentile or more: yes, you clear the CAT cutoff the college used in 2025.
40 percentile exactly: you just clear it. Apply early, before the seats fill.
40 percentile not reached: not on CAT this year. Try PGCET, MAT or KMAT.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The 2025 General close came in KEA round 2. A round 1 seat needs a better rank than that, so do not skip your round 1 options.
