Should you pick PGDM Finance at IMT Hyderabad?
This course suits students who want a finance or banking job and are happy to live on a campus near the airport for two years.
Pick it if:
You want a finance job at a bank: Goldman Sachs, D.E. Shaw, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo hired from the Class of 2025 here.
You want to work in Hyderabad: many global banks have large offices in the city, so finance internships and jobs are close to home.
Your CAT or XAT percentile is 90 or above: you clear the recorded cutoff and also get the merit scholarship of 40% on the academic fee.
Your family income is below INR 8 Lakhs a year: ask for the tuition fee waiver, which removes the academic fee.
Skip it if:
You want only finance jobs: finance roles took 28% of the offers and marketing took more, so the finance jobs are fewer.
You are counting on the top offer: the average was INR 12.2 LPA and the highest INR 31 LPA, so plan on the average.
You want to live at home and study: every student lives on campus, and the hostel and mess are part of the academic fee.
Your CAT percentile is below 90: the cutoff stayed at 90 percentile for five years, so apply to a safer college as well.
Counsellor's advice
If your CAT percentile is 90 or above, take this seat and claim the merit scholarship. If you are below 90, keep a safer college in your list and apply here too.

In short
IBS Hyderabad costs more before hostel and pays less on average. If your percentile clears 90, take IMT Hyderabad; keep IBS Hyderabad only as a backup below it.
In short
Welingkar Mumbai costs less before hostel and pays about the same. If you want to work in Mumbai, pick Welingkar; if you want to work in Hyderabad, pick IMT Hyderabad.
In short
IPE Hyderabad costs much less but its average pay is also much lower. If money is tight and your percentile is below 90, IPE Hyderabad is the safer pick; otherwise take IMT Hyderabad.

FAQs on IMT Hyderabad PGDM Finance
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is PGDM Finance at IMT Hyderabad worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee is INR 15.85 Lakhs with hostel and mess, and the Class of 2025 averaged INR 12.2 LPA, which gives an ROI of 77%. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most finance students join banks, financial services firms and consulting firms as analysts. These sectors took 36% of the offers for the Class of 2025, and Goldman Sachs, D.E. Shaw and Morgan Stanley hired here. Ask the placement cell which roles each firm offered last year before you pick your electives.
Should I apply if my CAT percentile is just below 90?▾
Yes, but do not count on it alone. The cutoff stayed at 90 percentile from 2021 to 2025, and the lowest CAT score the college takes is 75 percentile. Apply here, and also apply to a safer college so you have a seat either way.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want to live at home or if you want only finance jobs. Every student lives on campus, and the hostel and mess are part of the academic fee. Finance roles took 28% of the offers, so the rest went to marketing, IT and other roles.
Is PGDM Finance better than the general PGDM here for me?▾
Pick Finance if you are sure you want a banking or finance job. It has 60 seats against 120 in the general PGDM, and all four courses sit placements together. If you are not yet sure of your subject, the general PGDM keeps more choices open.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but at a lower package. The Class of 2025 placed 93% of its batch, and the average was INR 12.2 LPA while the highest was INR 31 LPA. Keep your grades up and start preparing for placement interviews in the first year.
Should I wait a year and write CAT again for a bigger college?▾
Only if you are sure you can raise your percentile by a lot. A year out delays your first salary of about INR 12.2 LPA. If you clear 90 percentile now and get an offer, take the seat and the 40% merit scholarship that comes with it.
Is Hyderabad a good city for a finance career?▾
Yes, many global banks and finance firms have large offices in Hyderabad. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and BNY Mellon hired from the Class of 2025 here. The campus is at Shamshabad, near the airport, so plan the travel time for city internships.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Write CAT, XAT, GMAT or CMAT, then fill the IMT form and choose PGDM Finance. The form fee is INR 3,500 and the form opened on 1 Sep 2026. If you are shortlisted, you sit a personal interview, and an offer follows for the final list.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 15.85 Lakhs, and it already has the hostel and mess. With the caution money you get back, you pay INR 16 Lakhs in all. The fee block above shows each part and the toggle adds the caution money.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the academic fee in five parts over two years, and the first part is INR 3.73 Lakhs. If you need a loan, ask the admission office about bank tie-ups before the first part is due.
Can I get more than one scholarship?▾
No, you can take only one scheme for the whole course. If you qualify for two, pick the bigger one. The merit scholarship gives 40% of the academic fee and the women's scholarship gives 20%, so use the calculator above to see which one you get.
IMT Hyderabad requires a minimum graduation qualification with at least 50% for admission. The faculty is experienced, using real-life examples to make learning practical and engaging.

IMT Hyderabad: 1 Answered Question
I am considering BIMtech vs IMT Hyderabad, both for a full-time, flagship PGDM course. In which one should I reserve a seat for the time being?
Swetha ChillaPGDM- Marketing from Institute of Management Technology ,Ghaziabad (2018)
IMT Hyderabad is better as it is the youngest member of the IMT group and it is situated in this city which is booming with regards to IT, marketing, and finance.
The location acts as a huge advantage as it is just 30 minutes away from the main city and 7 to 10 minutes away from the international airport.
The faculties are great with more than 80% of them having a Ph.D. in their respective fields.
Some also have approximately 7 to 10 years of industry experience.
As a part of the pedagogy, amazing Harvard cases are discussed.
The best thing offered by the college is a 14 to 16-week internship which is a huge duration for industry exposure under the guidance of teachers.
