Should you pick MBA at St Aloysius?
This course suits students who want a finance, analytics or HR job in coastal Karnataka and will plan their own job search too.
Pick it if:
You want an audit, banking or analytics job: KPMG, Grant Thornton, HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra are on the recruiter list, so finance roles lead here.
You want work close to home in Mangaluru: local firms like MResult and Niveus hire from this campus, so you need not move to a metro city.
You cannot choose one subject yet: you pick two specialisations from Finance, Marketing, HR, Business Analytics and Operations, not just one.
You have a KMAT score but no CAT score: any one valid score from KMAT, CAT, XAT, MAT or CMAT is enough to apply here.
Skip it if:
You expect a campus job for everyone: only 82 of 240 two-year PG graduates got placed in the NIRF 2025 data, so plan your own job search too.
You want the fee back in your first working year: the full fee is INR 6.01 Lakhs and the median pay is INR 5.65 LPA, so it takes longer.
You need a hostel room for sure: rooms go first come, first served, so a late admission may mean renting a room near the campus.
You plan to apply only after the CAT result: seats here go first come, first served, so a late form can find the batch already full.
Counsellor's advice
If you have 50% in graduation and any valid score, apply as soon as the form opens. If a campus job matters most, ask the placement office for MBA numbers before you pay.

In short
SDM College of Business Management placed a much bigger share of its batch, but at a lower median pay. If a campus job matters most, weigh it above St Aloysius; if pay matters more, pick St Aloysius.
In short
St Joseph Engineering College placed a bigger share at almost the same median pay. If you get offers from both, ask each for MBA only placement numbers before you pay St Aloysius or St Joseph Engineering College.
In short
Srinivas University placed most of its PG batch at a slightly higher median pay. If campus placement is your main goal, ask Srinivas University for its MBA fee before you choose St Aloysius.
In short
Justice K S Hegde Institute of Management costs a little more, and its placement figures are not published here. If the fee is your limit, St Aloysius is the cheaper seat of the two.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
