All you need to Know about GIM , GOA

So in Total GIM has a tuition fee of 19.5 Lakhs which is fixed and not subject to increase during the tenure of the course. Although Hostel and mess charges are subject to increase by 10-20% depending on the administration. The cost to study in GIM is relatively high according to me as there are other B schools as well with the same quality of education in the market but again it also depends on the number of options a student is having. There is a profile-based scholarship in GIM given in HCM / BIFS programs preferred only to MBBS doc/CAs. Apart from it, there is a need cum merit-based scholarship as well where a student is evaluated on the basis of 1st year academic performance and in this scholarship complete tuition fee of the year is waived.

Great platform to transform yourself

GIM is among one of the expensive colleges and yes, the fees structure is quite high but at the same time, the infrastructure and facilities provided by the college are top class. I would say before coming here, you should work hard on your skills and after admission also, it is necessary to understand your priorities so that you can get a good return in terms of placements.

Most sought after Data Analytics program

The overall fees of the course are approx. Rs. 19.5 lakhs including the hostel and accommodation charges. The payment of the fees is done before the start of each term. Considering the access to big data analytics tools which are expensive this course does justice to the return on investment. Scholarship or tuition fee waiver is provided to meritorious students as well as those with weak economic background.

An overview of the PGDM - BDA program of GIM

The fees for both the years is close to 19L, inclusive of all the requirements. Scholarship can be availed by students studying here. The job opportunity is pretty well from the campus to students studying there, in terms of summer internships and final placements.
