Not AICTE Approved
This MBA is offered by the university directly and does not carry AICTE approval. It is UGC-recognized and holds NAAC 'A' grade, but verify whether your target employers or further-education plans require AICTE accreditation.
The verdict
Worth considering
Pick this if you want a barebones, ultra-low-cost MBA from a state university that still holds a NIRF top-60 rank and places a meaningful share of grads in banking and IT. Skip if AICTE approval, high placement rates, or metro-campus exposure are must-haves for you.
