Should you pick MBA Finance at VVCE?

This course suits students who want a banking or finance job and can pay the college fee on top of the KEA fee.

Pick it if:

You want a finance job: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Home First Finance, LKP Securities and banks like ICICI and HDFC are on the college recruiter list.

You want job skills on top of the degree: the college teaches Tally for tax, SAP and KPMG certification courses next to the MBA subjects.

You missed the round 1 close: in 2025 the General close moved from 5,359 to 13,546 by round 2, so keep VVCE in your options.

You want pay that is going up: the median pay rose from INR 3 LPA for the Class of 2022 to INR 5.6 LPA now.

Skip it if:

You are counting on a campus job: only 52 of 115 graduates of the Class of 2023 got placed, so search on your own too.

You want a low fee: the college adds its own fee to the KEA fee, so this seat is among the highest in its group.

You want finance internships close to home: Mysuru has few bank and finance head offices, so many finance interviews and internships are in Bengaluru.

You are Category-1 with a low family income: KEA takes less, but the college adds the same amount, so your total stays the same.

Counsellor's advice

If you want a finance job and can pay the full fee, take this seat in round 1. If your family cannot pay the college fee, keep a cheaper college above it.

In short

SJCE costs much less and placed a bigger share of its batch, but its closing rank is tougher. If your rank clears SJCE, take it; if it clears only VVCE, take this seat in round 1.

In short

SIT costs much less and its closing rank is a little tougher, but it does not publish MBA-only pay. If your rank clears SIT, ask it for MBA placement data before you pick it over VVCE.

In short

SJBIT costs much less and is easier to get, but it placed only 11% of its Class of 2025. If a campus job matters most to you, list VVCE above SJBIT.

In short

GAT costs much less, has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses VVCE, keep GAT as a cheaper backup; if it clears both, compare the finance recruiters before you pay.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on VVCE MBA Finance

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is MBA Finance at VVCE worth the fee?▾

It can be, if you plan your job search well. A PGCET seat costs INR 3.66 Lakhs for two years, and the latest MBA page gives a median pay of INR 5.6 LPA. So the full fee is less than one year of that pay. But only 52 of 115 graduates of the Class of 2023 got placed, so start looking for an internship in year 1.

What job will I get after MBA Finance here?▾

Most finance offers come from banks, home loan companies and share broking firms. Broadridge Financial Solutions gave the highest offer of INR 9 LPA, and Home First Finance, Mahindra Home Finance and LKP Securities also hire here. Take the Tally, SAP and KPMG courses the college offers, because they help you in these interviews.

Should I take this seat if my PGCET rank is just worse than the closing rank?▾

Yes, but keep a backup. The General seat closed at 6,025 in round 1 of 2026, and in 2025 the close moved from 5,359 to 13,546 by round 2. So a rank a little worse than the round 1 close often gets in later. Keep VVCE in your options and keep a safer college too.

Who should not take MBA Finance at VVCE?▾

Skip it if your family cannot pay the college fee on top of the KEA fee, or if you need a sure campus job. The college charges INR 1.11 Lakhs a year on top of what you pay at KEA. Only 45% of the Class of 2023 got placed. If either of these worries you, compare the colleges in the block above first.

Is Finance better than Marketing at VVCE for me?▾

Pick Finance if you like numbers, accounts and banking. Most companies on the college recruiter list are banks and finance firms, which helps a Finance student. Pick Marketing if you like sales and meeting customers. You choose the specialisation in year 2, so you can decide after year 1.

Is MBA Finance at VVCE good for higher studies or a Ph.D.?▾

Yes, if you want a Ph.D. in management later. The MBA department is a research centre, so you can do a Ph.D. at the same college after the MBA. If you plan for it, pick a strong final project and work on it with a faculty guide in year 2.

Should I wait a year for a better PGCET rank?▾

Only if your rank is far from the close. The General seat closed at 6,025 in round 1 of 2026, and in 2025 it moved to 13,546 by round 2. If your rank is better than 13,546, take a seat this year. A year of waiting is a year of pay lost.

Will I get a placement if I am not in the top half of the batch?▾

Not for sure. Only 52 of 115 graduates of the Class of 2023 got placed, and the batch has 180 seats. The college gives aptitude, group discussion and mock interview training before the drives. Keep your marks up, finish an internship in year 1 and apply off campus too.

How do I get admission to MBA Finance at VVCE?▾

Write Karnataka PGCET and add VVCE MBA, college code B315, to your KEA options. KEA gives the seat on your rank. Pick Choice 1, pay the fee at KEA and report at the college with your originals by the KEA date, or you lose the seat.

What is the full fee for MBA Finance at VVCE?▾

The full two-year fee on a PGCET seat is INR 3.66 Lakhs without hostel. With a boys room for three and mess, it comes to INR 5.51 Lakhs. The fee block above splits it into the KEA part and the college part, and the toggle adds the hostel.

Can SC and ST students study here for less?▾

Yes, if the family income is up to INR 10 Lakhs a year. SC and ST students of Karnataka pay INR 750 at KEA instead of INR 71,260 a year. The college collects the rest of its fee after the state scholarship comes. Keep your caste and income certificates ready when you apply.

Is there a hostel and what does it cost?▾

Yes. A boys room for three costs INR 92,500 a year and a girls room for two costs INR 93,500 a year. The boys hostel holds 535 students and the girls hostels hold 350. Ask the hostel office for a room as soon as you take the seat.
