SAGE University's MBA in Finance offers a comprehensive education with a focus on affordability and accessible scholarship options. Admission requires a bachelor's degree, an entrance exam (SEE), and may include a scholarship test. The tuition is affordable, with fees at Rs 40,000 per year, Rs 20,000 per semester, and additional costs for admission and exams. Scholarships are abundant for eligible students, including those from OBC, SC/ST categories, and students with high academic achievements.
The total cost for the two-year program is around Rs 2 lakh. The faculty at SAGE University is experienced, with a 1:80 faculty-to-student ratio and members holding PhDs and significant teaching experience. Despite positive interactions and engagement, the curriculum could benefit from more project-based learning and case studies. The exam system is moderately challenging, with a 5% failure rate, and the university offers a variety of courses. Placement opportunities are a mixed bag, with packages ranging from 3 LPA to 20 LPA, and an average of 5-6 LPA.
However, the placement success rate is relatively low, with only 30-40% of students securing jobs. Most recruiters are from BPOs, and the placement cell needs improvement to meet industry standards. The highest package recorded is 8 LPA, and the average package is about 3 LPA. Healthcare management placements benefit from a partnership with Apollo Hospital Group, providing paid internships and enhanced job opportunities. Additionally, there are internship opportunities with stipends around 5000 INR and projects like Smart City.
As a relatively new institution established in 2020, SAGE University's industry recognition is still developing, influencing placement outcomes.
