Should you pick MBA at St Agnes College?

This course suits Karnataka students who want a low-fee MBA close to home and a job in the region.

Pick it if:

Your PGCET rank is near the 2026 General close: the seat closed at a later rank in 2026 than in 2025.

You want a job in and around Mangaluru: the college drives bring firms such as K12 Techno Services, Cogent and Fiscal Solutions to campus.

You want a small class: KEA fills 57 seats here, so classes stay small and every student gets a faculty mentor.

You want a low fee: a PGCET seat costs INR 1.16 Lakhs for two years, against a median PG pay of INR 5.1 LPA.

Skip it if:

You want offers from big national companies: the college drives bring mostly regional firms, and the college publishes no package for the MBA alone.

You want a fixed specialisation: a specialisation is offered only if 20 students pick it, so the one you want may be dropped in semester 3.

You are not from Karnataka: KEA seats go to Karnataka students, so you must take a management seat through KMAT or a national test.

You want placement data for the MBA alone: the figures the college gives NIRF cover all its PG courses together, not the MBA by itself.

Counsellor's advice

If your PGCET rank is close to the 2026 General close, put this college in your round 1 options. If you are not from Karnataka, apply for a management seat early.

In short

Mangalore University charges much less tuition, pays a higher PG median and is easier to get into. If your rank clears both, put Mangalore University above St Agnes College in your options.

In short

Alva's has more seats but a much tougher close, and its MBA median was lower. If your rank is better than 14,909, compare the two campuses; if not, St Agnes College is the seat to aim for.

In short

A. J. Institute of Management has the same KEA fee, more seats and a slightly tougher close. If your rank clears both, pick the one whose placement record you can check in writing.

In short

Manel Srinivas Nayak Institute of Management has the same fee and seat count, with a slightly tougher close. If your rank clears both, choose on the specialisations each one offers; if it clears only St Agnes College, take this seat.

FAQs on St Agnes College MBA

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is the MBA at St Agnes College worth the fee?▾

Yes, if you get a PGCET seat. The tuition for both years is INR 1.16 Lakhs, and PG students of the Class of 2025 had a median pay of INR 5.1 LPA. So the fee is much less than one year of pay. If you take a management seat, ask the college for its fee in writing before you pay.

What job will I get after this MBA?▾

Most jobs come through the college drives with regional firms. Past drives brought K12 Techno Services, Cogent and Fiscal Solutions to campus. In the Class of 2025, 83% of PG students were placed at a median of INR 5.1 LPA. Join the placement training in the second year, because the campus drive opens in July.

Should I take a seat here if my PGCET rank is just inside the closing rank?▾

Yes, if you are in the General category and your rank is better than 24,033. That was the round 1 close in 2026, but in 2025 the close was 16,079. The number can move a lot from one year to the next. Put this college in your options and keep a college with an easier close below it.

Who should not take this MBA?▾

Skip it if you want big national recruiters on campus or a fixed specialisation. The college drives bring mostly regional firms. A specialisation is offered only if 20 students pick it, so yours may be dropped. If either matters more to you than a low fee, look at other colleges too.

Which specialisation should I pick here?▾

Pick the one that matches the job you want, not the one your friends pick. The college offers Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, Logistics and Supply Chain, and Business Analytics from semester 3. Each needs 20 students to be offered. Ask the department in semester 1 which ones have enough names before you decide.

Is this MBA good for a student from outside Karnataka?▾

Only through a management seat. KEA seats go to Karnataka students, and others get only the seats a college hands back to KEA. You apply on the college site with a KMAT or national test score, then attend the group discussion and interview. Apply early and keep the interview date free.

Should I wait a year to get a better PGCET rank?▾

Only if you can raise your rank by a lot. The General close was 16,079 in 2025 and 24,033 in 2026, so the close moves both ways. A year of waiting also costs you a year of pay. If your rank falls inside this year's range in the checker above, take the seat now.

Is the MBA here good for a finance job?▾

It can be, if you choose Finance in semester 3. Finance is one of the five specialisations, and firms like Fiscal Solutions have come to the college drives. But the college does not publish MBA pay by role. If you want a finance job, ask final-year students where they were placed before you decide.

Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾

Most likely yes, but later. In the Class of 2025, 147 of 177 PG students were placed, which is 83%. The students placed last often get smaller offers. Attend every training session and keep your attendance up, because the campus drive is only for final-year students.

Can men join the MBA at St Agnes College?▾

Yes. The undergraduate college is for women, but the PG centre that teaches the MBA is co-ed. The PG centre has its own building on the Bendore campus. Ask the college about hostel rules before you join, because the hostel fee and rules for PG students are not published.

How do I get admission to this MBA?▾

There are two ways in. For a KEA seat, write PGCET, list St Agnes College in your KEA options, pay the fee and report. For a management seat, apply on the college site with a KMAT or national test score, then attend the group discussion and interview. Keep your degree marks cards ready for both.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

For a PGCET seat the tuition is INR 1.16 Lakhs for both years. With the PG exam fee it comes to INR 1.27 Lakhs. The college also charges a university fee that it has not published. Ask for the full fee sheet before you pay, and check the fee block above for how each part is charged.

Can I get a fee waiver?▾

Yes, if you are an SC, ST or Category-1 student from Karnataka with an income certificate. The waiver is INR 40,000 or INR 57,750 over the course, based on your income. Enter the income certificate RD number in your PGCET form, or you pay the full fee. Use the calculator above to see your amount.
