Should you pick MBA at St. Francis de Sales College?
This course suits students with a PGCET rank who want an MBA close to the Electronic City offices.
Pick it if:
You want to work near big IT offices: the campus is in Electronic City, where many IT and software companies have their offices.
You want job tools along with the degree: the MBA adds Power BI, SAP, Six Sigma and Digital Marketing certificates to the course.
You have a Karnataka PGCET rank near 26,137: a PGCET seat here costs INR 2.43 Lakhs, much less than a management seat.
You want the fee back soon: at the median PG pay of INR 3.8 LPA, the PGCET seat fee comes back within the first working year.
Skip it if:
You want a big alumni network: the MBA started in 2020, so only a few batches have finished the course so far.
You are counting on a campus job: in the Class of 2024, 61% of PG students were placed, so many students found jobs on their own.
You are a boy who needs a hostel with food: the college hostel gives only a room, so you pay for your meals on your own.
You can get only a management seat: the college fee is INR 5.60 Lakhs, more than double a PGCET seat, for the same median pay.
Counsellor's advice
If PGCET round 2 gives you this seat, take it and pay the fee on time. If you get only a management seat, check the INR 5.60 Lakhs fee against the median pay first.

Oxford CE costs less on a KEA seat and placed far more of its batch at a higher median pay. If both offer you a KEA seat, pick Oxford CE; choose SFS College only if its campus suits you better.
In short
Sir MVIT costs less and pays a higher median, but its seat closed at a much tougher rank. If your rank clears 15,773, prefer Sir MVIT; if not, SFS College is the seat to aim for.
In short
EWIT closed at almost the same rank and pays a higher median, but placed a smaller share of its batch. If the share placed matters most to you, keep SFS College above EWIT in your options.
In short
Atria closed at a tougher rank and placed a smaller share of its batch. If your rank clears both, check which side of the city suits you; if it clears only SFS College, take this seat.

FAQs on St. Francis de Sales College MBA
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is the MBA at SFS College worth the fee?▾
Yes, on a PGCET seat. The full fee without hostel is INR 2.43 Lakhs and the median PG pay was INR 3.8 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. On a management seat the college fee alone is INR 5.60 Lakhs, so check your loan EMI before you say yes.
Should I take a management seat here if I miss the PGCET seat?▾
Only if you can pay without a heavy loan. The management seat costs INR 5.60 Lakhs in college fees, more than double the PGCET seat, and the median pay stays the same. Wait for the KEA round 2 result first, then decide on the management seat.
What job will I get after this MBA?▾
Most students get entry roles in IT services, banking, retail and online shopping companies. In the Class of 2024, 61% of PG students were placed at a median pay of INR 3.8 LPA. Pick the Business Analytics or Finance specialisation if you want analyst roles, and finish the Power BI and SAP certificates.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Not for sure. Only 61% of PG students were placed in the Class of 2024, so many students looked for jobs on their own. Join the placement training from the first year, finish an internship, and keep applying outside the campus drives as well.
Who should not take this MBA here?▾
Skip it if you need a large alumni network or a hostel with food for boys. The MBA started in 2020, so only a few batches have passed out. The boys' hostel gives only a room, so you pay for food on your own. If either matters a lot to you, look at other options first.
Is a PGCET rank of about 26,000 enough for this college?▾
Yes, if it is 26,137 or better for a GM seat. That was the round 1 close in 2026. In 2025 round 2 closed at 24,767, which was tougher, so a later round may not help. Take a round 1 offer and use the rank checker above for your category.
Which specialisation should I pick here?▾
Pick the one that matches the job you want. The college offers HR, Finance, Marketing, Logistics and Supply Chain, and Business Analytics, all at the same fee. If you are unsure, Business Analytics and Finance fit the IT and banking companies near Electronic City.
Is the Electronic City location good for internships?▾
Yes, it helps. The campus is in Electronic City, where many IT and software companies have their offices, so internships and visits are easier to reach. Ask the placement cell in the first semester which companies took interns from the last batch, and apply early.
Should I wait a year to get a better PGCET rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot. The GM seat here closed at 26,137 in round 1 of 2026, which many ranks clear. If your rank already clears it, take the seat now. A year of waiting adds a year before you start earning.
How do I get admission to the MBA here?▾
There are two routes. Write Karnataka PGCET, enter this college in your KEA options, pay the KEA fee and report before the last date. Or apply on the college portal for a management seat and attend the interview. You need 50% in your degree, or 45% if you are SC, ST or Category-1 from Karnataka.
Can I get a fee waiver as an SC or ST student?▾
Yes, on a PGCET seat. With family income below INR 2.5 Lakhs, the fee is covered up to the government college fee. With income from INR 2.5 to 10 Lakhs, half the KEA fee is waived. Bring your caste and income certificate from a Karnataka Tahsildar to the KEA document check.
Does the college have a hostel for MBA students?▾
Yes, for boys, near the campus. A 3 sharing room costs INR 3,000 a month without food, plus an admission fee and a deposit. Girls stay in hostels near the campus managed by others, at INR 7,000 to INR 9,000 a month with food. Book early, because rooms fill before classes start.
