CU Karnataka BBA : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to the Central University of Karnataka's undergraduate and postgraduate programs is based on the Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET), typically held in May, with results announced by June. Some programs require additional steps like counseling or interviews, while others offer direct admission based on CUCET scores. The university's key attractions include its infrastructure and diverse student body. The faculty consists of around 60 lecturers, mostly postgraduates or researchers, with an average age of 45.

Although the teaching quality is perceived as low by some, faculty engage students through seminars and presentations. The university offers an affordable fee structure, costing approximately Rs. 1,13,000 for a 3-year program, including tuition, food, and other charges. The semester fee is around Rs. 20,000, and the monthly mess fee is about Rs. 1,600. The hostel fee is approximately Rs. 3,000 per semester. Fees vary slightly by department, with annual costs generally under Rs. 50,000, making it accessible for lower-income students.

Scholarships are available for specific communities and merit students, and payments can be made via bank challan or online. Placement opportunities are available with companies like Mahindra, Flipkart, Infosys, Amazon, Google, and Tata, with an average package of 15 lakhs per annum. However, only about 30% of students secure placements annually. Internships are offered for management and psychology students with a Rs. 10,000 stipend, though students often need to find their own opportunities.

The university facilitates access to government scholarships, such as post-matric scholarships for backward and minority communities, and top students can receive tuition fee reimbursements. External scholarships, like those from the Reliance Foundation, are also accessible, with additional benefits for Karnataka residents.
