Which MBA course should you pick at Mangalore University?
Course
General MBA specializations
4 courses, 60 seats in all, INR 83,270 for two years without hostel. One route in: PGCET, then KEA.
Pick it if:
You want a finance, marketing or HR job: the General MBA teaches these three areas, and Cognizant, Infosys and Advinus are named among campus recruiters.
You want a full MBA at a state university fee: the whole course costs INR 83,270 without hostel, paid once a year.
Your General PGCET rank is inside 27,102: that was the round 2 close in 2025, so a seat was open at that rank.
Skip it if:
You want an MBA-only placement record before you join: the university publishes one figure for all its two-year PG courses together.
You want a big batch with many classmates: the General MBA takes only 60 students, shared across its three specializations.
MBA Tourism and Travel Management (Tourism MBA)
50 seats, INR 61,220 for two years without hostel. One route in: PGCET, then KEA.
Pick it if:
You want work in travel, tourism or hotels: this course trains for those jobs and keeps 50 seats of its own, apart from the General MBA.
You want the lower of the two fees: the full course costs INR 61,220 without hostel, the lowest MBA fee here.
Your rank may miss your first choice: list this course as well, since it fills from the same PGCET rank list with separate seats.
Skip it if:
You want finance, marketing or HR as your main subject: those three areas are taught in the General MBA, not in this course.
You want a placement figure for this course alone: the university publishes one figure for all its two-year PG courses, not by course.
Counsellor's advice
If your rank is inside the 2025 close for your category, list the General MBA first and the Tourism MBA second. If you want travel or hotel work, put the Tourism MBA first, since its fee is lower and its seats are separate.
MBA Eligibility▾
Degree: A three-year bachelor's degree in any subject from a recognised university.
Degree marks: 50% in all. SC, ST and Category 1 students of Karnataka need 45%.
Exam needed: A Karnataka PGCET rank for MBA. KEA gives every seat from this rank list.
Same rule, every course: The General MBA and the Tourism MBA use the same marks rule and the same exam.
Tie in rank: When two students have the same rank, higher degree marks go first.
MBA Admission Process▾
Write PGCET: KEA holds one PGCET exam for MBA each year, usually in June.
Verify documents: Upload your mark sheets and category papers for the KEA check.
Enter your options: List the MBA courses here in the order you want them, with other colleges if you like.
Take the allotment: Choose Choice 1 to keep the seat, or a later choice to wait for round 2.
Pay and report: Pay the fee and report to the department with originals by the last date.

In short
Mysore charges about INR 21,000 more for its MBA and publishes no MBA pay figure. If your rank clears both, choose on the specialization you want; the cost gap is small.
In short
Kuvempu costs about the same at the top of its fee list and has 100 MBA seats. If you want a wider seat pool on one rank, keep it just below this seat in your options.
In short
Karnatak charges INR 16,478 more and has 60 seats. If you live in north Karnataka, weigh the hostel and travel cost; otherwise this seat costs less.
In short
AIMIT is a private college in the same city with a higher median pay but a fee over seven times this one. If the fee is a strain, this seat is the safer buy.
