Should you pick MBA at Dr AIT?

This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA in Bangalore and will look for jobs on their own as well.

Pick it if:
You want an MBA in Bangalore at a low fee: the full PGCET seat fee is INR 1.88 Lakhs for two years, and KEA collects most of the first-year fee.
You are SC or ST from Karnataka: you pay INR 41,840 when you join, and the state pays the tuition fee through SSP.
You want to see how companies work from inside: the department plans visits to about 10 companies for each student during the course.
You want a small class: the college has 60 MBA seats a year, so your batch stays small.
Skip it if:
You need a campus job at the end: only 12 of the 53 students in the Class of 2025 were placed through the college.
You are counting on a steady pay figure: the median pay moved from INR 2.8 LPA to INR 5.5 LPA and back to INR 3.2 LPA in three batches.
You need to pay the yearly fee in parts: the college takes the full year's fee at once and charges a fine after the due date.
You have not downloaded your PGCET claim slip yet: KEA closes the download on 15 Sep 2026, and option entry comes after it.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA offers you this seat in round 1 and a low fee matters most, take it. If you need a campus job, start looking for internships in Bangalore from your first semester.
