SPJIMR Courses & Fees 2026

Q: Is a 4-year tri city BBA course of SPJ better than a 5-year IPM at IIM Indore?

IPM does not offer a BBA degree but you will receive a BA degree for your undergrad coursework (Foundations in Management). The subjects taught at the undergraduate level are vastly different from those taught in any other BBA program. Any decision based on an assumption about the IPM curriculum can land you in big trouble. Returning to the question, I'm not familiar with the specifics of the four-year Tri-City programme, but I'm sure it entails a lot of learning from an institute like SPJ. Having said that, IPM and the aforementioned course can be compared on the same scale. Two degrees from IIM Indore (one of which is the regular MBA that other PGP participants are entitled to) is an incredible value that cannot be matched by any other BBA programme in the country. Other benefits include the environment and opportunities that come with being a student at an IIM. Comparisons can be made when other IIMs launch courses similar to IPM, which does not appear to be happening anytime soon. Until then, IPM would be a clear winner in terms of undergrad management education.

Q: What is the difference if I choose FMS (Delhi), JBIMS (Mumbai) or SJSOM-IIT Bombay over IIM-B, SPJIMR and other such institutes that charge hefty for MBA courses?

Choosing a B-school can be a tricky decision especially when it comes to ROI. I understand that ROI is one of the most important factors when it comes to MBA courses since funding your education with loans come with its own set of challenges. But the institutes that you have mentioned above certainly surpass the challenges since they belong to the tier 1 category. You might come across articles and blogs stating that FMS or JBIMS do not provide a typical MBA environment but for me, that discussion does not even make sense. What is an MBA environment after all? You spent 2 years of your life at the campus and wish to land a good job. FMS, JBIMS, and IIT Bombay all three have good market reputations, they home the best candidates and charge minimal fees. So, if ROI is even a little bit of a concern for you, go for these colleges without any second thought or regret.

Q: How was the interview experience at the SPJIMR PGDM course for information management?

For SPJIMR, there are two rounds of interviews. These are both group interviews, with the first one focusing on inquiries related to your chosen field of expertise and the second round focusing on your morals and values. In my friend’s case, no questions about information management were asked, but there were times when inquiries about the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other hot subjects in this industry were made. It is best to arrive prepared according to your chosen specialization and to have some knowledge of the other specializations, such as finance, operations, and marketing. Everyone in the group was required to express their opinion on a particular supply chain problem, regardless of the field they chose to study. There are no domain-specific questions in the second round.

Q: What is the quality of education at SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM)? What kind of placements do they have after completing their course there? How does it compare to IIM’s placement records?

SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM), a top management school in India, provides high-quality education. The course balances theoretical and practical knowledge and emphasizes leadership abilities. Many leading companies recruit the institute's graduates each year. Amazon, McKinsey & Company, and Accenture recruit SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM) grads at 26 LPA on average. SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM) has strong placement records despite not being as well known as other IIMs. SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM) has continually been one of India's top management colleges for placements. Below is a table comparing fees and placement records of SPJIMR and IIMs; College Fees (MBA/PGDM) Highest Salary Package Average Salary Package SPJIMR INR 20.42 Lakhs INR 77.8 LPA INR 33.02 LPA IIMs INR 12 Lakhs to INR 28 Lakhs INR 35 LPA to INR 1.14 CPA INR 15 LPA to INR 34 LPA SPJIMR Mumbai (PGPM) offers a high-quality management education with a focus on leadership and a good possibility of securing a high-paying job after graduation. It may not have the same prestige as some IIMs, but it is a respected institute with a successful track record. Hope it helps, choose wisely, All the best!

Q: What components are included in the SPJIMR course fees, and what are the additional costs to plan for?

The total fees for SPJIMR programs like PGDM and PGPM typically include tuition, basic hostel accommodation, and academic materials. For example, the PGDM fee for Indian participants is INR 26.50 lakhs, which covers those core components.However, students should plan for the following additional expenses:Mess/food costs (often separate)Travel and boarding expenses during internships or industry projectsOptional international immersion costs (visas, airfare, lodging) not included in base tuition for PGDM/PGPM.So the true total cost over the program duration can be significantly more than the listed fee if you opt for GFT/Global Immersion. Many students budget an extra INR 3INR 8+ lakh for these add-ons.

Q: Are there installment options or financial support for fee payment at SPJIMR?

Yes, executive and part-time programs like PGEMP and PGPGM often offer installment payment options at SPJIMR.Additionally, the institute provides scholarships and financial assistance in certain cases (e.g., merit-cum-need scholarships, women-specific awards, academic merit awards). For scholarships and eligibility details, check the specific program page on the official SPJIMR website.

Q: Does SPJIMR offer a management quota or direct admission at higher fees?

No. SPJIMR does not have a management quota or pay-for-admission model. Admissions to flagship programs like PGDM are strictly merit-based (CAT/GMAT + profile + interview), and claims of direct seats at higher fees are not officially supported.

Q: Is SPJIMR PGDM fee the same for Indian and International candidates?

No, international candidates generally pay a higher fee for the PGDM program than Indian participants. For example, recent figures indicate about INR 35.94 lakh for international participants versus INR 26.50 lakh for Indian candidates. This reflects additional international student services and regulatory costs.

Q: Do all SPJIMR programs include international immersion (GFT/Exchange) in the fee?

No. For flagship programs like PGDM and PGPM, Global Fast Track (GFT) or International Exchange components are optional and are not included in the base tuition/fee figures published on the official site. These optional parts can add significant cost (travel, visa, lodging) if you choose to participate.

Q: Does SPJIMR provide hostel facilities for PGPGM and other part-time management programs?

For weekend/part-time courses like PGPGM, campus accommodation at SPJIMR is not typically offered as part of the standard fee (which is around INR 9.5 lakhs over 2 years). However, hostel rooms may be available on weekends on a twin-sharing basis if available, usually at an additional cost.

SPJIMR: 5 Answered Questions

Does SPJIMR have a different course structure and calendar than the IIMs and other top B schools? If so, is it better?

Hardik NagarLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

There are a few differences in the course calendar of SPJIMR and the IIMs that you should be aware of.

The major difference is that SPJIMR's flagship 2-year MBA course has Autumn Internship while IIMs have Summer Internship. In Autumn Internship, you will have completed most of your first-year B-school knowledge, which is a plus point when applying for corporate internships. Additionally, SPJIMR's famous Sem-III, which is a semester for Specialization courses, would have been completed by then. During this semester, you will undergo live projects which is like a near-internship experience and helps you a lot in your actual internship. However, this can keep you away from interacting with students from other B-Schools, unlike in the case of the Summer Internship. During the Autumns Internship selection process, roles are Specialization Specific, and having completed Sem-III restricts the roles you can take outside of your specialization.

With the completion of the Autumn Internship, the final placement season is usually 3/4 months away, giving companies time to roll out PPI/PPO wisely and allowing students to choose prudently between PPI/PPO and the option to be part of Final placements. However, this can leave students with less time for preparation for finals if they don't get PPI/PPO or reject those.

There are also a few minor differences in the course calendar. For example, in the summer, SPJIMR has Social Internship, whereas IIMs have a corporate internship. Additionally, in the mid-second year, SPJIMR students fly to the US for Fast-Track Learning, which is not available in IIMs. The second year for SPJIMR students is mostly busy with Sem-III then GFT then Autumns Internship. Thus SPJIMR students take part in corporate competitions (likes of LIME, Mahindra War Room, TBLA, etc.) during the first year itself, although this is just a norm. SPJIMR also offers numerous Minors (viz. Analytics, Finance, Consulting, Strategy, etc.). But the Analytics semester overlaps with International Exchange Semester. This means students can either do a Minor in SPJIMR OR an International Exchange at Foreign Universities.

Overall, while the timing of the internships is different, SPJIMR's Autumn Internship can be an advantage for you, and the live projects in Sem-III can provide you with valuable experience. However, you should also consider the minor differences and how they may affect your interests and goals.

Is a 4-year tri city BBA course of SPJ better than a 5-year IPM at IIM Indore?

Charu MalikStudied at Integrated Programme in Management, IIM Indore (2021)

IPM does not offer a BBA degree but you will receive a BA degree for your undergrad coursework (Foundations in Management). The subjects taught at the undergraduate level are vastly different from those taught in any other BBA program. Any decision based on an assumption about the IPM curriculum can land you in big trouble.

Returning to the question, I'm not familiar with the specifics of the four-year Tri-City programme, but I'm sure it entails a lot of learning from an institute like SPJ.

Having said that, IPM and the aforementioned course can be compared on the same scale.
Two degrees from IIM Indore (one of which is the regular MBA that other PGP participants are entitled to) is an incredible value that cannot be matched by any other BBA programme in the country.
Other benefits include the environment and opportunities that come with being a student at an IIM.

Comparisons can be made when other IIMs launch courses similar to IPM, which does not appear to be happening anytime soon. Until then, IPM would be a clear winner in terms of undergrad management education.

What is the difference if I choose FMS (Delhi), JBIMS (Mumbai) or SJSOM-IIT Bombay over IIM-B, SPJIMR and other such institutes that charge hefty for MBA courses?

Choosing a B-school can be a tricky decision especially when it comes to ROI. I understand that ROI is one of the most important factors when it comes to MBA courses since funding your education with loans come with its own set of challenges. But the institutes that you have mentioned above certainly surpass the challenges since they belong to the tier 1 category.

You might come across articles and blogs stating that FMS or JBIMS do not provide a typical MBA environment but for me, that discussion does not even make sense. What is an MBA environment after all? You spent 2 years of your life at the campus and wish to land a good job. FMS, JBIMS, and IIT Bombay all three have good market reputations, they home the best candidates and charge minimal fees. So, if ROI is even a little bit of a concern for you, go for these colleges without any second thought or regret.

How was the interview experience at the SPJIMR PGDM course for information management?

For SPJIMR, there are two rounds of interviews. These are both group interviews, with the first one focusing on inquiries related to your chosen field of expertise and the second round focusing on your morals and values.

In my friend’s case, no questions about information management were asked, but there were times when inquiries about the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and other hot subjects in this industry were made. It is best to arrive prepared according to your chosen specialization and to have some knowledge of the other specializations, such as finance, operations, and marketing. Everyone in the group was required to express their opinion on a particular supply chain problem, regardless of the field they chose to study. There are no domain-specific questions in the second round.
