Admission to Presidency University's MBA program in Bangalore is accessible via the Karnataka PGCET entrance exam and a telephonic interview, with no written test required. The program spans 3 years full-time, with a fee of 3.25 Lakh INR, though PGCET qualifiers pay 2,70,000 INR and management course students 5,50,000 INR. A confirmation fee of 25,000 INR is required, and the total cost, inclusive of a 75,000 INR optional foreign trip, can reach up to 7,00,000 INR, all payable in installments.
The program offers certification courses in Digital Marketing, Business Analytics, and more, though some students find the fees high and report unexpected charges. The faculty, comprising around 40 lecturers, is well-qualified, with most having over a decade of experience and corporate backgrounds, though some rely heavily on presentations. The placement rate is about 75%, with companies like Infosys and Deloitte, offering roles such as finance analyst and associate analyst. The highest salary package is 8.4 LPA, and the average is 5 LPA, while the lowest stands at 1.2 LPA.
The placement system has faced criticism for disorganization and restrictive policies. Scholarships are available based on merit, with awards up to Rs. 50,000 for SC/ST categories, and education loans are supported. The total fee for new admissions can increase by Rs. 50,000 annually, and state government scholarships may apply.
