Field Marshal KM Cariappa College Kodagu BBM : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The BBM (Bachelor of Business Management) was the nomenclature used when FMKMCC was affiliated to Mangalore University. Since FMKMCC became a constituent college of Kodagu University, the programme is now officially offered as BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration). The curriculum, duration (3 years), and fee structure remain essentially the same. Students seeking admission to the business management programme at FMKMCC should apply for the BBA programme as listed in the current 2026-27 admission notification.

Ans. No entrance examination is required. Admission is entirely merit-based, determined by the marks obtained in the 10+2 / 2nd PUC examination. KCET is only for Engineering and Medical programmes and is not applicable here. Students simply need to apply with their 10+2 / 2nd PUC marksheets before the deadline of 15 May 2026 for the 2026-27 batch.

Ans. FMKMCC offers the BBA/BBM programme under two categories: General (government-aided) and Payment (self-financing). General category seats have a subsidised tuition fee of Rs. 5,500 per year (total 3-year fee: Rs. 35,220), while Payment category seats have a higher tuition fee of Rs. 12,000 per year (total 3-year fee: Rs. 54,720). Both categories follow the same curriculum and are awarded the same Kodagu University degree. General seats are filled first based on merit, and remaining seats are offered under the Payment category.

Ans. After completing BBM/BBA from FMKMCC (Kodagu University), graduates can pursue careers in banking, insurance, retail management, marketing, human resources, and entrepreneurship. Many students go on to pursue MBA for advanced management roles. The degree also opens doors to government competitive examinations such as banking (IBPS, SBI), SSC, and Karnataka state government services. Given the affordable fee structure and the college's serene location in Kodagu, the programme offers strong value for students from the region.

Students from outside Kodagu district who wish to stay on campus should apply for hostel accommodation at the time of admission, as seats are limited.
