Should you pick MBA at Surana College?
This course suits students who want a low-fee MBA in Bengaluru and are fine with a large batch.
Pick it if:
You want a job with IT and consulting firms: Infosys, Wipro and Deloitte recruit here, and their offices are in Bengaluru, the same city as the campus.
You missed the General close of 2024: the last seat closed at rank 30,833 in 2025, far above 13,544 in 2024, so a seat got easier to get.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay of INR 6.7 LPA, the INR 2.50 Lakhs government quota fee comes back inside the first working year.
You want to study business analytics: it is one of five specialisations here, next to Finance, Marketing, HR and General Management.
Skip it if:
You expect the whole batch to get placed: the intake is 240 and 65% of the latest batch was placed, so about one in three looks for a job alone.
You expect high offers to be common: the highest offer was INR 13.58 LPA, but the average was INR 6.7 LPA, so most offers sit far below the top one.
You can get only a management quota seat: that seat costs INR 6 Lakhs, more than double the government quota fee, so check the average pay first.
You need a hostel room on a tight budget: with hostel and mess the full cost goes from INR 2.50 Lakhs to INR 4.50 Lakhs.
Counsellor's advice
If KEA allots you this college on a government quota seat, take it with Choice 1, because the fee is INR 2.50 Lakhs. If only a management quota seat is open, pay nothing until you compare INR 6 Lakhs with the average pay.

Will your PGCET rank get you an MBA seat at Surana College?
Pick your PGCET rank range. The cutoff ranges are this course's 2025 government quota closing ranks across categories.
Your PGCET rank
23,164 or better
Yes, you are in. In 2025 the last seat in every category went to a rank worse than yours. Keep this college high in option entry.
23,165 to 30,833
Almost there. Some categories closed in this range in 2025, so your category decides it. Keep this college in your options and wait for round 2.
Worse than 30,833
Not through the government quota this year. Try a management quota seat with a KMAT, CAT or MAT score.
No PGCET rank
You can still apply for a management quota seat. You need a KMAT, CAT, MAT, CMAT or XAT score.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The range 23,164 to 30,833 mixes every category. Your own category may close anywhere inside it, so do not treat the lower number as your safe rank.

In short
Jyoti Nivas costs INR 1 Lakh less, but its published average pay is INR 2.7 LPA lower. If the fee is your biggest worry, look at Jyoti Nivas; if pay matters more, keep Surana College first.
In short
Seshadripuram IMS costs INR 5.50 Lakhs more, and its published average pay is lower. If you hold a government quota seat at Surana College, take it before you pay the higher fee there.
In short
Kristu Jayanti costs INR 6.55 Lakhs more and does not publish an MBA average pay. If you still want it, ask for its MBA placement report before paying more than Surana College charges.
