Only 19 colleges show a total cost, and it ranges from ₹1,200 to ₹74,80,000, so a low or high figure may reflect fees and not the whole picture. Cutoffs on this list come from Karnataka PGCET, MAH MBA CET and TANCET, so check which exam a college uses. Before you decide, confirm official approval and accreditation, and read the college's own fee notice and the counselling authority's notices.
