CMR Institute of Technology Bangalore

CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT) is an engineering and management college at 132 AECS Layout, ITPL Main Road, Kundalahalli, Bengaluru. Its MBA programme was launched in 2002 under the Department of Management Studies and Research Center, which is a VTU-recognised research centre. The college says the MBA is permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, approved by AICTE and recognised by the Government of Karnataka, and it states an A++ grade from NAAC.

The MBA is a two-year programme with dual specialisation pathways, each combining Business Analytics with Marketing, HR or Finance. The programme includes a mandatory summer internship and a final-year capstone research project, and students get training on tools such as SPSS, Tableau, Power BI and Python. The website does not publish the MBA intake or the fee; it says the detailed fee structure is released each year in the prospectus, so ask the admissions office. CMRIT also offers MCA and a range of B.E. programmes.

You need a three-year bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks (45% for SC, ST and Category-1 candidates from Karnataka). One of KMAT, CMAT, MAT or PGCET is mandatory. For PGCET, the Karnataka Examinations Authority runs centralised counselling and you choose CMRIT at that time.
