Should you pick MBA at St. Agnes College?

This course suits students who want a banking, finance or logistics start in coastal Karnataka on a low government seat fee.

Pick it if:
You want a start in banking or finance: Mangaluru is the home city of Karnataka Bank and Canara Bank, and Finance is one of the five specialisations here.
You want logistics work near a port: the city has New Mangalore Port, and the course offers a Logistics and Supply Chain specialisation.
You want the fee back fast: on a government seat the tuition fee is INR 1.16 Lakhs, against a PG median pay of INR 4.5 LPA.
You want a small class: the MBA takes only 60 students, so the placement cell has a small batch to place.
Skip it if:
You want consulting or big brand jobs: the college-wide recruiter list is led by IT services firms such as Infosys, Wipro and TCS.
You are counting on pay to rise each year: the NIRF median for PG courses stayed at INR 4.5 LPA in each recent year.
You want Business Analytics for sure: a specialisation is offered only if 20 students pick it, so a small one can be dropped.
You have no PGCET rank: government seats go only through KEA, so you need a KMAT score and the college interview for a management seat.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA allots you this college in round 1, take the government seat and pay the fee by its last date. If you only have a KMAT score, ask for the management seat fee in writing before you pay.
