Should you pick MBA Finance at Global Academy of Technology?

This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA in Bengaluru and will search for a finance job on their own too.

Pick it if:
You want an MBA with a low fee: a PGCET seat here costs INR 1.16 Lakhs in tuition for two years, against a median pay of INR 5.5 LPA.
You want pay that is going up: the median MBA pay rose from INR 4.25 LPA to INR 5.5 LPA across the last three batches.
Your PGCET rank is outside the GM close: half the seats here go through KMAT, so a KMAT score gives you a second way in.
You want to stay in west Bengaluru: the campus is in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, so city internships in finance offices are a daily trip from home.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a campus job: only 51 of the 90 students who finished in 2025 were placed, so plan your own job search too.
You want a small batch: the intake doubled from 120 to 240 seats, so the placement cell now has twice as many students to place.
You want to see finance recruiters first: the college does not publish an MBA recruiter list, so ask the placement cell for last year's finance offers.
You come in through KMAT or management quota: the KEA fee does not apply to those seats, so get the fee in writing before you pay.
Counsellor's advice
If PGCET gives you this seat and a low fee matters most, take choice 1 and report. If you want a finance job from campus, ask for last year's finance offers before you pay.
MBA Finance Eligibility
Degree marks: A bachelor's degree with 50% marks. 45% for SC, ST and Category 1.
Final-year students: You can write PGCET in your last degree year and show marks at the document check.
Exam needed: A Karnataka PGCET rank for KEA seats, or a KMAT score for the other half.
Category claim: Bring a valid caste and income certificate to claim a reserved seat.
MBA Finance Admission Process
Write PGCET: KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) holds the MBA paper once a year.
Option entry: List GAT MBA on the KEA portal in your order of liking.
Pick a choice: Choice 1 takes the seat. Choice 2 keeps it and waits for a better one.
Pay the fee: Pay online by the last date and download the confirmation slip.
Report at GAT: Bring the slip and original marks cards, or you lose the seat.
