Should you pick MCA at St Aloysius?
This course suits graduates who want an IT job and are happy to study at a quiet campus outside Mangaluru city.
Pick it if:
You want an IT job in a software company: the IT placement cell holds company drives from October to June for software developer roles.
You want a course with a long record: this MCA started in 1999, and IT alumni of the AIMIT campus work at KPMG, Walmart and Dell.
You missed the KEA PGCET or did badly in it: this MCA does not use KEA ranks, so your degree marks and the entrance test decide.
You are from outside Karnataka: you pay INR 5,000 more a year than Karnataka students, and you take the same entrance test.
Skip it if:
You want a high starting salary: the NIRF median pay for all PG students here is INR 4.6 LPA, and about half were placed.
You plan to apply only in June: seats fill in the order students apply from November, so many seats are already filled by then.
You want to live in the city centre: the AIMIT campus is in Beeri, Kotekar, outside the main city, and you stay in its hostel.
You will take a loan for the fee: the fee is INR 3.16 Lakhs and the median pay is INR 4.6 LPA, so repaying takes years.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 50% in your degree and want this seat, apply as soon as the forms open in November. Pay the first-year fee only after you read the refund dates in the refund policy.

In short
Mangalore University costs much less and pays more, but it has only 30 seats through KEA PGCET. If your rank gets you one, take it; if not, St Aloysius takes you on your degree marks.
In short
SJEC costs a little more on its management fee and placed a smaller share of its PG batch. If you have a good KEA PGCET rank, its KEA seat costs less; if not, St Aloysius is the better pick.
In short
NMAMIT has more seats, but its tuition alone costs more over two years. If you want to spend less and stay near Mangaluru, pick St Aloysius; if the fee is not a worry, apply to both.
In short
MITE placed more of its PG batch at a higher median pay, but it does not publish its MCA fee. If you have a KEA PGCET rank, ask MITE for its fee and compare; if not, apply to St Aloysius.
In short
St Agnes College placed more of its PG batch at a slightly higher median pay, but its MCA fee is not published. If you get a KEA PGCET seat there, compare its fee before you pay St Aloysius.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on St Aloysius MCA
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the MCA at St Aloysius worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who want an IT job and apply early. The full fee without hostel is INR 3.16 Lakhs, and the NIRF median pay for all PG students here was INR 4.6 LPA. So a placed student can pay back the fee in about a year of salary. Check the EMI tile in the fee block before you take a loan.
What job will I get after this MCA?▾
Most placed students get IT jobs such as software developer or business analyst. Company drives start in October of the final year and go on till June. The department reports 72% placement, so plan for an off-campus search too if you are not picked early. Build two or three projects in year 1 to make your profile stronger.
Who should not take this MCA here?▾
Skip it if you want a high starting salary or a city-centre campus. The NIRF median pay for all PG students here is INR 4.6 LPA, and the AIMIT campus is in Beeri, Kotekar, outside the main city. If either matters more to you than the fee and its Jesuit campus life, compare other options before you pay.
Should I take this MCA if I did not clear KEA PGCET?▾
Yes, a KEA rank does not matter here. This MCA has no KEA quota, so the seat depends on your degree marks and the university's entrance test. You need 50% in your degree, or 45% for SC, ST and Category-I students. Use the seat checker above to see if you meet the rule.
Should I apply in my final year of degree?▾
Yes, apply as soon as the forms open in November. You can apply with your 4th or 5th semester marks card. Your seat is confirmed only after the final marks card shows the required marks, so keep your aggregate above 50% in the last semester.
Is the campus right for me if I want city life?▾
Probably not, if city life is your main wish. The AIMIT campus is in Beeri, Kotekar, outside Mangaluru city, and its hostels have 50 rooms each for boys and girls. If you want a quiet campus to study, it suits you. Visit the campus before you pay the first-year fee.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
You may get placed, but later and with a smaller offer. NIRF shows 428 of 843 PG students here were placed in the Class of 2025, which is about half. Join the pre-placement training on aptitude and interviews, and apply off campus from the start of the final year.
Is this MCA good for higher studies or research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it early. The School of Information Science and Technology also offers a Ph.D, and its faculty work on AI, cloud computing and networks. Ask a faculty member in year 1 about a research project, because a project and a paper help a Ph.D application.
Should I wait for the last date to apply?▾
No, do not wait. Seats fill on merit in the order students apply, from November till the last date of admission. In 2026 that last date was 30 Jun 2026, but many seats go before it. Apply in the first weeks after the form opens.
How do I get admission to this MCA?▾
Apply online on the AIMIT admission portal and pay the form fee by UPI. You then sit the university's entrance test, and the Admission Cell offers the seat on merit. Pay the first-year fee to confirm the seat and bring your original marks cards for the document check.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 3.16 Lakhs without hostel for Karnataka students. With the hostel fee it comes to INR 4.86 Lakhs. Students from outside Karnataka pay INR 5,000 more a year, and exam fees are extra. The toggle in the fee block above shows both totals.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Usually no. The fee rules say you pay each year's fee in one go, and a fine of INR 50 a day starts after 8 days. The scholarship page says some students get a chance to pay in parts, so ask the Admission Cell in writing before the due date.
Do I get the fee back if I cancel the seat?▾
It depends on when you cancel. If you cancel on or before the last date of admission, you get the full fee back, less a processing fee of up to INR 1,000. After that the refund drops in steps, so read the refund policy before you pay.
Students are eligible for campus placements after their fourth semester, with companies like Amazon, Google, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Infotech, and Coca-Cola participating. The highest and average salary package is 4.2 lakhs. Students should focus on course-related projects for placement reviews. MCA students can receive a 30% tuition fee waiver if they rank in the top 100 in MAT/KMAT and score 85% or above in qualifying exams.
The hostel fee is Rs. 72,000 annually, including food and facilities, and total costs range from Rs. 200,000 to Rs. 250,000. Scholarships and financial aid are available, and there have been no significant fee increases recently.
