MBA admissions in Karnataka occur through Common Entrance tests.
Seats under the Government Quota: The test that admits students for seats in the Government Quota is the PGCET (Post Graduate Common Entrance Test) that is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) through the offices of the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). Refer http://vtu.ac.in/pdf/circulars/kea.pdf
This test provides admission to the seats in the MBA departments of any University in Karnataka and institutions affiliated to the following Universities, namely Visvesvaraya Technological University, Mangalore, Mysore, Bangalore, Kuvempu, Gulbarga, Bijapur Women’s University, Karnatak and Tumkur, as well as the Government quota seats in private Colleges in the state.*
This test also gives admission to management seats in Institutions which have requested the KEA to conduct the test on their behalf.
The tuition fee to be paid for these seats is as notified by the Karnataka State Government.
Seats under the Management quota: Karnataka Private Post-Graduate Colleges’ Association (KPPGCA) KMAT 2011: During the past five years, KPPGCA has been organizing the process of admission to MBA and MCA courses to fill the management quota of seats in the member institutions (meaning Private Unaided Institutions) by holding the "Karnataka Management Admission Test (KMAT)" at test centers across Karnataka. This year KMAT 2011 is scheduled to be held on Sunday, July 24, 2011, from 2 pm to 5 pm.
