Should you pick MBA at Surana College?
This course suits Karnataka students with a PGCET rank who want a low KEA fee and can travel to Kengeri every day.

You want a business analytics role: the course adds an IBM business analytics certification and Tableau and Excel training in the second year.
You want a big alumni network: the MBA has about 2,000 alumni working in companies in India and abroad.

You are a Karnataka SC or ST student: KEA takes half the fee off if your family income is INR 2.5 Lakhs to INR 10 Lakhs.

In short
Oxford CE has the same KEA fee and a higher reported pay, but half the KEA seats and a slightly tougher close. If your rank clears both, list Oxford CE above Surana College.
In short
Atria IT is tougher to get and reports lower pay on the same KEA fee. If both offer you a seat, Surana College is the better pick on these numbers.
In short
EWIT matches Surana College on fee and pay, with fewer KEA seats. If you need a hostel or a campus nearer home, let that decide between the two.
In short
Sir MVIT reports higher pay but its close is about 11,000 places tougher. If your rank clears Sir MVIT, list it above Surana College; if not, keep Surana College.
In short
KIMS reports a higher average and closes earlier in the round. If your rank clears KIMS, put it first; if it does not, Surana College is the realistic KEA seat.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Surana College MBA
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the MBA at Surana College worth the fee?▾
Yes, on a KEA seat the fee is low for a Bengaluru MBA. The full tuition is INR 1.16 Lakhs for two years, and the PG campus reports an average package of INR 5 LPA. That is an ROI of 433% on the fee. If you take a management seat, ask the college for its fee in writing before you pay.
What job can I get after this MBA?▾
Most roles come from the four specialisations: Marketing, Finance, HR and Business Analytics. The course adds Excel, Tableau and an IBM business analytics certification, so analyst roles are open to you. The PG campus average is INR 5 LPA and the highest offer is INR 13 LPA. Pick your specialisation by the job you want, not by friends.
Should I take this seat if my PGCET rank is just above the cutoff?▾
Yes, if you are a GM student near 27,062, keep this college in your KEA options. The 2025 GM close moved from 15,228 in round 1 to 29,268 in round 2, so later rounds took lower ranks. Use the rank checker above for your category before you lock your options.
Who should not take this MBA at Surana College?▾
Skip it if you need a hostel, because the college lists none for this campus. Skip it too if you want a high first package, since the PG campus average is INR 5 LPA. If you cannot travel to Kengeri every day, look for a college nearer home.
Is this MBA good for a business analytics career?▾
Yes, if you choose Business Analytics as your specialisation in the second year. You learn Excel, Tableau, Python and R, and you can earn an IBM business analytics certification. Build a small project with each tool, because that is what interviewers ask about.
Should I wait for round 2 or take a round 1 seat somewhere else?▾
It depends on your rank and on the Supreme Court. KEA has asked the court for two more rounds, so round 2 is not fixed yet. If round 1 gave you a seat you like, keep it. Remember that KEA keeps the whole fee if you give up a seat after round 2 ends.
Will I get placed after the MBA here?▾
Most likely, if you take the placement training seriously. The college holds a finishing school module every semester and holds drives with Bengaluru companies. It does not publish an MBA placement rate, so ask the placement cell for last year's MBA numbers before you join.
Is a KEA seat better than a management seat here?▾
Yes, a KEA seat costs less. On a KEA seat the tuition is fixed at INR 57,750 a year by the state. The college does not publish its management seat fee online. If you get a KEA seat, take it rather than paying more for the same course.
How do I get admission to the MBA at Surana College?▾
Write PGCET, then enter this college with its KEA code B302 in your options. If KEA allots the seat, pay the fee at KEA and report at the college with all originals. For a management seat, apply to the college with a PGCET, KMAT, MAT or CMAT score.
What is the full fee for the MBA on a KEA seat?▾
The full fee is INR 1.16 Lakhs for two years, all of it tuition. KEA fixes it at INR 57,750 a year. The university exam fee is extra and you pay it on the UUCMS portal each semester.
Does Surana College have a hostel for MBA students?▾
No. The college lists no hostel in its AICTE report for the Kengeri campus. Most students travel daily or rent a room or a PG nearby. Find your room before the reporting date so that you do not miss classes.
Can I get my fee back if I cancel the KEA seat?▾
Only before round 2 option entry ends. If you give up the seat before that date, KEA keeps INR 5,000 and returns the rest. If you give it up after round 2, KEA keeps the whole fee, so decide before then.
The MBA program at Surana College is supported by a dedicated faculty, including approachable members like Rink Sir and Prakruthi Mam, who not only assist students academically but also serve as motivational speakers. The fee for the MBA course is set at 250,000 INR for students entering through PGCET and 500,000 INR for those admitted via the management quota over the two-year program.
Additionally, students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships through both the SSP state and central government initiatives, with no extra fees beyond the stated amounts.
