Fees and Financial Aid:

When it comes to the expenses for the PGDM programme, students have some reservations. A total of more than 10.5 lakh rupees must be paid every year. As a result, our course price will be between 21 and 22 lakh rupees. However, students can apply for particular scholarship opportunities. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic achievement and family income. Depending on your financial situation, you may be eligible for a fee reduction of 25% to 30%.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fees are Rs.12 lakhs. The fees hike is totally at the discretion of the management board. The fees are inclusive of residential charge so, beyond 21 lakhs, its just the canteen and few recreational activities with your friends that requires a small amount. Stipend offered is also quite well with which I managed to a few additional courses and seminars and of course a short friends trip. The loan can easily be got from a range of banks all with different rate of interest. There are 20 scholarships offered to the students on basis of academic performance and the annual income of the family.
