Should you pick MBA Finance at PES University?
This course suits students who want a banking or finance job in Bangalore and can pay a high fee.
Pick it if:
You want a banking or Big 4 job: ICICI, Axis and EY are on the recruiter list, and the last two trimesters are paid internships.
You want to work in Bangalore: the campus is on the Ring Road in the city, and many banks and finance firms have large offices here.
You want pay that is rising: the median pay of placed graduates rose three years in a row in the university's own NIRF data.
You want to learn finance tools: the course trains you in Tableau, Python, R and advanced analytics, with certificates.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a big package: the MBA has 480 seats, and the median pay is INR 6.2 LPA, much lower than the fee.
You need a job offer for sure: 326 of 459 graduates were placed in the Class of 2025, so about three in ten were not.
You want Finance classes from the first day: year 1 is the common core for all majors, and the Finance major starts only in trimester 4.
Your CAT score is just under 60 percentile: that was the 2025 General close, so also book a PES entrance test slot.
Counsellor's advice
If your family can pay INR 15.30 Lakhs and you want a bank job, take this seat. If a loan pays the fee, check the EMI tile first and keep a cheaper college above it.

In short
Christ costs INR 3.82 Lakhs less and its median pay is INR 3.6 LPA higher, but its batch is much larger. If Christ gives you a seat, it is the stronger pick on these numbers; if only PES University does, take this seat.
In short
Jain does not publish its MBA fee online, but its median pay is INR 2.4 LPA higher and 92% of its graduates were placed. If you get both offers, ask Jain for the full fee in writing before you choose PES University.
In short
Alliance costs INR 70,000 more and its Class of 2024 median was INR 8 LPA. If you get both offers and can pay either fee, Alliance has the better pay record; if the fee is tight, PES University is the cheaper seat.
In short
Dayananda Sagar University has half the seats of PES University and a median pay of INR 6 LPA, close to this page's. If both offer you a seat, ask for its full two-year fee in writing and pick the cheaper one.
In short
CMR University costs less than half of the PES University fee, but its median pay is INR 1.4 LPA lower. If the fee decides it for you, CMR is the cheaper seat; if pay matters more, take PES University.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on PES University MBA Finance
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the MBA Finance at PES University worth the fee?▾
It depends on how you pay. The full fee is INR 15.30 Lakhs without hostel and the Class of 2025 median pay was INR 6.2 LPA, so the fee takes about two and a half years of pay to cover. If a loan pays it, read the EMI tile in the fee block before you decide.
What job can I get after this course?▾
Most finance students aim for bank, Big 4 and finance roles. ICICI, Axis and EY are on the university's recruiter list, and the last two trimesters are paid industry internships and projects. Use year 1 to get good at Tableau, Python and R, so you are ready when internship interviews start.
Should I take this seat if my CAT score is just above 60 percentile?▾
Yes, if the fee works for your family. 60 percentile was the 2025 CAT General close in Round 1, so your score gets you to the online interview. The interview decides the seat, so prepare for it well, and keep a cheaper college in your list too.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you cannot pay a high fee or you need a sure job. The fee is INR 15.30 Lakhs without hostel, and 326 of 459 graduates were placed in the Class of 2025, so about three in ten had no campus offer. If either worries you, check the compare block above before you pay.
Is Finance better than the Business Analytics major here for me?▾
Pick Finance if you want bank or investment roles, and Business Analytics if you like working with data tools. You choose the major only in trimester 4, after the year 1 core, so you can decide after a year of classes. Talk to the faculty in trimester 3 before you choose.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Likely, but not for sure. The Class of 2025 placed 326 of 459 graduates at a median pay of INR 6.2 LPA, so about three in ten had no campus offer. Use the paid internship in trimesters 5 and 6 to show a company what you can do.
Should I wait a year for a higher CAT score?▾
Only if you expect a big jump. The CAT General close was 60 percentile in both 2024 and 2025, so a small gain changes little here. If you already clear it and can pay the fee, take the seat now rather than lose a year.
Is this MBA good for me if I want to work in Bangalore?▾
Yes, the campus is on the Ring Road in Bangalore, and many banks and finance firms have large offices in the city. The paid internships in trimesters 5 and 6 are with companies, so being in the city helps. Check which recruiters on the list hire for finance roles before you decide.
Do I get a scholarship when I join?▾
Not at entry. PES gives the Prof. MRD Scholarship of INR 3.80 Lakhs to the top 5% by CGPA and the Prof. CNR Rao Scholarship of INR 3.04 Lakhs to the next 20%, as money back after you join. Use the calculator above to see your net fee for each case.
How do I get admission to this MBA?▾
Register on the PES admissions portal and pay the INR 1,200 form fee. Then take the PES entrance test or send a CAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, NMAT or GMAT score, and sit the online interview. The result comes within three working days, and you pay the blocking tuition fee to hold the seat.
Can I pay the fee online?▾
No. PES takes the fee only by demand draft, not by online transfer, cash or cheque. The tuition fee is INR 7.60 Lakhs a year, so you pay it year by year over two years. Ask your bank for the draft a few days before each fee date.
Is a hostel room available for MBA students?▾
Yes, but rooms are shared and cost extra. Hostel and mess cost INR 95,000 a year at the lowest room rate, with three or four students to a room, and girls stay 2 to 5 km off campus with a bus. You must name a local guardian aged 35 or more to get a room.
