Should you pick MBA at Siddaganga Institute of Technology?
This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA on an engineering campus and can study in Tumakuru.
Pick it if:
Your PGCET rank is near the GM close: the 2025 GM seat closed at 12,579 in round 3, so list SIT high and keep it floated to later rounds.
You want a known campus name on a low fee: the engineering side brings 252 recruiters to campus, and a PGCET seat costs INR 1.16 Lakhs for both years.
You want to stay on campus: the hostel and mess cost INR 86,550 a year, and you pay it only if you take a room.
You want the fee back fast: at the MBA median pay the PGCET seat fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on the 2024 closing rank: the last seat went at 35,126 in 2024 but at 19,751 in 2025, so it got tougher.
You want a big MBA salary: the MBA median is INR 3.6 LPA, far below the INR 9 LPA campus average that engineering pulls up.
You want Bengaluru internships every week: Tumakuru is about 70 km away, so most internships mean travel or a stay in the city.
You hope for a KMAT seat at the PGCET fee: half the seats go through KMAT, and those seats are not charged at the KEA fee.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA allots you SIT on a GM rank near 12,579, take the seat and pay the fee on time. If your rank is worse, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology closed its GM seat at a tougher rank and sits in Bengaluru. If your rank clears it and you want the city, take it; if your rank clears only SIT, take this seat.
In short
Acharya charges the same PGCET fee, its hostel costs a little more, and its GM seat closed at an easier rank. If SIT allots you a seat, take it; keep Acharya below SIT in your options as the safer seat.
In short
BIET costs about the same, its hostel costs less, and its seat is easier to get. If your rank misses SIT, list BIET right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
SSIMS is in the same city and its last seat went at an easier rank. If you want to stay in Tumakuru and your rank misses SIT, keep SSIMS as your backup.
