Should you pick MBA at BGS & SJB Group of Institutions?
This course suits students who want an IT or consulting role and can study on the western side of Bengaluru.
Pick it if:
You want an IT or consulting job: the recruiter list names Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte and KPMG, so most offers here are in those kinds of roles.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay of INR 5.52 LPA the full fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
You want to live where you study: the MBA sits inside the BGS Health and Education City in Kengeri, with hostels on the same campus.
You are in Category 1 or 3B: your seat closed at 9,240 or 10,434 in 2025, well before GM, so read your own category row, not the GM number.
Skip it if:
You want a big campus drive just for MBA: the NIRF 2024 sheet counts 34 of 130 PG students placed, so most of the batch finds jobs on its own.
You want a large MBA alumni base in finance: the MBA here started only in 2008, and the recruiter list leans to IT and services firms.
You want a campus close to the city centre: Kengeri is on the western side of Bengaluru, so internships in the central business areas mean a long daily trip.
You are counting on the round 3 close: 24,328 was the last-round GM number, so round 1 is likely to need a better rank than that.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA offers you this seat in round 1 on a rank near 24,328, accept it and pay the fee on time. If you want a finance role, ask the placement cell for its MBA recruiter list before you pay.

In short
RNSIT costs less and its GM close was easier in 2025. If your rank clears only RNSIT, take that seat; if it clears both, compare the recruiter lists of RNSIT and SJBIT before you pick.
In short
Acharya's published fee is a management quota fee and its pay figure is older. If you have a government seat offer at SJBIT, take it before you pay a management fee at Acharya.
In short
Cambridge IT costs more and shows higher pay, but its GM close was much tougher. If your rank is near 24,328, SJBIT is the seat you can reach, so list it above Cambridge IT.
In short
East Point costs much more but its GM close was easier. If SJBIT offers you a seat, take it; keep East Point as a backup below it in your options.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
