Should you pick M.E Big Data Analytics at MAHE?
This course suits students who want data roles and can learn coding, maths and database tools for two years.
Pick it if:
You want data roles: MSIS trains students for analyst, data engineer and data scientist work, and 50 companies visit for PG internships.
You want work practice: the second year can be a company internship, so keep projects ready from semester one.
You compare fee and pay: INR 4.72 Lakhs is lower than the INR 12.73 LPA PG median pay.
You have a circuit or CS degree: 60% marks and a MET score keep you in the main route.
Skip it if:
You need a pure research course: this MSIS course is built for data jobs, tools, projects and company internship work.
Your degree is from another stream: the institute can add a programming test, so ask before you pay.
You count on a public cutoff: MAHE does not publish a fixed closing score, so use the MET merit list.
You cannot join by July: the last intake started classes in Jul 2026, so plan documents before the fee date.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 60% and a clear data job goal, take the MET route early. If your degree is not CS or circuit, ask about the programming test before paying.

FAQs on MAHE M.E Big Data Analytics
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.E Big Data Analytics at MAHE worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a data job and can use the internship route well. The full fee without hostel is INR 4.72 Lakhs, and the PG 2-year median pay is INR 12.73 LPA. Check the EMI tile before you use a loan, and ask MAHE which fee support you can claim.
Should I take this course if I do not have a CS degree?▾
Take it only after MAHE confirms your stream is accepted. The eligibility rule allows circuit, electrical and computer science streams with 60%, and other streams may face a programming skills test. Write to the admission office before paying, because the test can decide whether the seat is safe for you.
What job can I get after this course?▾
This course is aimed at data roles. MAHE lists business analyst, big data developer, data analyst, data engineer, data science engineer and data scientist as career paths. The school says 50 companies visit for PG internships. Build coding projects early, because a data role needs proof of tools, not only marks.
Is this course good for a data science job?▾
Yes, if you want a technical data path. The course covers statistics, databases, Hadoop, Spark, machine learning and data visualisation. The PG median pay shown above is INR 12.73 LPA. Use the second year project or internship to show one full data pipeline before placement starts.
Who should skip this course at MAHE?▾
Skip it if you want a general management course or a pure research degree. This is a technical ME course built around tools, coding, databases and analytics projects. If you dislike programming or cannot spend two years on maths and data systems, choose a course with a lighter technical load.
Should I choose MAHE if I have a valid GATE score?▾
Yes, but check the money first. A valid GATE score can help you claim the AICTE PG scholarship of INR 2.98 Lakhs, but MAHE says some fee support rules may not combine with GATE. Compare the net fee in the scholarship block and confirm the final rule before joining.
Is the MAHE fee worth it against the pay?▾
It can be worth it if you use the placement and internship support. The fee without hostel is INR 4.72 Lakhs and the PG median pay is INR 12.73 LPA, so the pay figure is higher than the full fee. If you add hostel, check the higher total in the fee toggle.
Should I wait a year for a better admission chance?▾
Do not wait only for a fixed cutoff, because MAHE does not publish one for this course. If you meet 60%, have the right degree stream and can prepare for MET, apply in the next intake. Waiting makes sense only if your programming base is weak and you need time to build it.
Is MAHE right for higher studies after this course?▾
Yes, if you use the project work well. The course has machine learning, databases and analytics tools, and the school has research and industry projects. A higher studies plan needs a strong project guide and clean grades, so choose the project area early.
Will the city help me with internships?▾
Manipal is not a large metro, so most internship access comes through the school and the placement cell. MAHE says MSIS has live projects, guest lectures and industry links, and 50 companies visit for PG internships. If you want daily city office access, compare that before you join.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply on the MAHE portal, meet the 60% degree rule and follow the MET or admission route assigned to you. MAHE then prepares the merit list and calls students for counselling. Keep degree papers ready, because the seat is not final until you pay and clear document check.
What is the full fee for this course?▾
The full 2-year fee without hostel is INR 4.72 Lakhs. With the hostel and living estimate used here, the total becomes INR 8.12 Lakhs. Use the fee toggle above to see EMI and ROI for both totals, then confirm the latest fee table before paying.
Admission to the college is based on merit, using the best of five subject marks from students' higher secondary exams. Students are ranked by their total marks, and seat availability differs by subject. The faculty is strong, with at least five teachers and a department head for each subject. However, the lab facilities are outdated, affecting practical learning. The college offers a government-funded fee structure, making education affordable. Fees for laboratory-based subjects are capped at 3,000 INR per year, while literature subjects cost up to 1,000 INR per year.
Placement and internship opportunities are robust, with many companies offering internships that last one year, providing valuable industry experience. Stipends depend on the company. Scholarships are also available: the top 10% of students from classes with at least 40 students receive a 50% scholarship, and those with a Konkani language certificate get a 5% scholarship.
