Programme Offered

Presidency University — Private University Framework

As a private university, Presidency University has curriculum autonomy to design MBA specialisations responsive to Bangalore's industry needs. The university's multi-faculty campus creates cross-disciplinary interaction between management, law and engineering students — providing MBA students with awareness of legal aspects of business and technology-business intersections that single-faculty management colleges cannot offer. The university's Ittigegud location in North Bangalore is accessible from Yelahanka and Hebbal zones.

North Bangalore Employment Zone

Presidency University's North Bangalore location gives MBA students access to the Manyata Tech Park employment cluster (TCS, Infosys, Oracle, Mphasis), the Hebbal-Nagawara IT corridor and the Devanahalli airport zone for placement recruitment and internships. North Bangalore's rapid residential development is creating consistent management talent demand from real estate, retail, hospitality and services companies alongside IT.

Career Scope

Presidency University MBA graduates access Bangalore's IT, FMCG, retail and financial services sectors through campus placement. Finance, marketing, HR, operations and business analytics specialisations align with North Bangalore's employment market. KMAT Karnataka is the primary admission route for Karnataka domicile students. The private university degree framework supports post-MBA research degree pursuit and international higher education pathways.

Presidency University actively engages North Bangalore's corporate sector for live projects, guest lectures and internship placements. The university's private university status enables faster curriculum updates and international tie-ups than Bangalore University affiliated management colleges. KMAT Karnataka scores are the primary admission route for Karnataka domicile students, with competitive scores giving access to multiple private university MBA programmes across Bangalore.

Real Fees and Admission Route Detail

Presidency University's MBA total fees run approximately ₹5.3-7.3 lakh depending on specialisation for management-quota seats, with PGCET-route students paying a substantially lower regulated fee around ₹1.8 lakh per year — a genuinely significant cost difference worth understanding clearly before applying. Specialisations include General, Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, Banking and Finance, and Marketing and Finance.

Confirm current-year exact specialisation-specific fees and CAT/MAT/KMAT cutoff expectations directly with the School of Management admissions office, since fee variance by admission route (PGCET versus management quota) is substantial and not always clearly distinguished in aggregated third-party listings.

Presidency University's multi-faculty North Bangalore campus (Ittigegud) sits within the same broader institution as its law school, giving MBA students informal cross-disciplinary access to legal and engineering coursework uncommon at standalone management colleges.
