Should you pick MBA Marketing and HR at CMR Institute of Technology?
This course suits students who want a marketing or HR job in Bengaluru and want to keep the fee low.
Pick it if:
You want a job in a Bengaluru company: the campus is on ITPL Main Road near the Whitefield tech parks, so internships are a short trip.
You want a low fee for an MBA: a PGCET seat costs INR 1.17 Lakhs for the full course, and the median pay was INR 6 LPA.
You want a batch where most students get placed: 95 of 113 students in the two-year PG batch were placed in the Class of 2025.
Your PGCET rank is on the General list: the General seat closed only in round 3 of 2025, so a rank near 22,694 can still get in late.
Skip it if:
You want a very high first package: the college says its highest MBA offers are INR 10 to 15 LPA, so a very large offer is rare here.
You want a business school name on your degree: this is an engineering college under VTU, and the MBA is one department inside it.
You are counting on last year's closing rank: each category closed at its own rank in round 3, and the close moves every year.
You have no entrance exam score: every seat here needs a PGCET, KMAT, CAT, MAT or CMAT score.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA gives you CMRIT in round 1 on a General rank, take it and pay the fee on time. If your rank is far past 22,694, keep a safer college above it and wait for round 2.
