The admission to MBA program in my college is offered based on KMAT/MAT/CMAT exam. Therefore, I provided the KMAT score along with past academic details while filling the form and application fee of Rs. 1000.Based on my score, I was called to appear for selection procedure round wherein I faced an interview and lastly, I got an admission offer letter after which I paid program fee and secured my seat. Most importantly, the things due to which I took admission here are its ranking, advanced course curriculum, highly qualified facilities, placement record and others as well.However, before taking admission, I visited the official website, I checked everything there and according to that, my college ranked 88 for MBA by Times and 91 by Business Today.

Also, it has got accreditated by NAAC with Grade 'A' and above all, it is affiliated to Bangalore University.Moreover, the course fee is 7 lakhs for both the year and since my college is a private college, the course fee is not too high as compared to other private institutions.
