Should you pick BA Political Science at Surana College?

This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a Bangalore city campus for three years.

Pick it if:

You passed Class 12 in this state: half the places are General merit, so a score that misses the Other State list can still get in.

You want product companies, not only service IT: the course-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.

Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.

You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.

Skip it if:

You are counting on last year's admission score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe score.

You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.

You want internships in a big city: this is a Bangalore city campus, so the placement cell brings most internships here.

You wait too long: BA seats can fill after merit review, so apply before the last date.

Counsellor's advice

Take it if you want BA HEP and can use Bangalore well. If you want only one subject, ask the Admission Cell first.

In short

Bangalore costs less and pays more on average, but its admission score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Bangalore; if it clears only Surana, take this place and do not wait for the spot round.

In short

Bangalore places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier admission score is what you need, keep it one place below Surana in your choice list as the safer place.

In short

Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the places. If Surana gives you a place in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.

In short

Bangalore costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more places and an easier admission score. If your score misses Surana in the early rounds, list Bangalore right below it and take whichever comes first.

In short

Summit is the cheapest place here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If Surana allots you a place in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Surana College BA Political Science

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is BA Political Science at this college worth the fee?▾

Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.26 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 4.92 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.

Should I take this place if my score is just above the admission score?▾

Not on last year's number alone. The General General merit place closed at score 50 in merit round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.

What job will I get after this course?▾

Most students get roles in public policy, media, NGOs and entry-level corporate teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 4.92 LPA, the median was INR 4.50 LPA and 100% of the batch was placed. If you want a public policy or civil services path instead, this course is not the right pick.

Who should not take this course here?▾

Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Bangalore city campus, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.

Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾

Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover public policy, international relations and political theory, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.

Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾

Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General admission score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the place next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the place now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.

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

Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 100% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4.50 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.92 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.

Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾

Pick BA Political Science if you want a software job and ECE if you want a public policy or civil services path. BA Political Science places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its admission score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want BA Political Science, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.

How do I get admission to this course?▾

Take the Class 12 merit exam and fill this college in your Surana Admission Cell choice list. A place comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the first fee within the days Surana Admission Cell gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the place.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

The full 4-year fee is INR 1.26 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 3.66 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.

Can I pay the fee in parts?▾

Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.

Do I get the fee back if I drop the place?▾

It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
