AMU PG Diploma Marketing Management: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The PGDMM at AMU is a part-time, on-campus programme offered through the Centre of Professional Courses (CPC). Classes are typically held in the evening hours on the AMU main campus in Aligarh, making it convenient for working professionals and students who may have daytime commitments. The exact class schedule is communicated after admission. Since it is a part-time course, students are not entitled to hostel accommodation as per AMU's residential policy.

Ans. No national-level entrance exam such as CAT, MAT, or CMAT is required for admission to PGDMM at AMU. Selection is based entirely on AMU's own Departmental Test (course code: MMPPA), which is conducted at Aligarh. Candidates must score at least 20% marks in this test to be eligible for admission. The test is objective in nature and covers topics related to general management, marketing, and aptitude. The merit list is prepared based on test performance.

Ans. AMU revised its fee structure for the 2026-27 session, and the total fee for PGDMM increased from Rs. 14,288 (2025) to Rs. 21,000 (2026), an increase of approximately Rs. 6,712. This revision was officially announced in February 2026 along with the release of the AMU fee structure for 2026. The fee of Rs. 21,000 is the total course fee for the entire 1-year programme and is payable at the time of admission. Candidates should note that the application/processing fee of Rs. 750 is additional and non-refundable.

Ans. Yes, the PGDMM at AMU is open to graduates from any discipline. There is no restriction on the stream of the qualifying degree. Whether you have a background in science, arts, commerce, or engineering, you are eligible to apply as long as you hold a Bachelor's degree from a recognised university and qualify the AMU Departmental Test. This makes the programme accessible to a wide range of candidates looking to transition into or strengthen their marketing career.

Ans. No. As per AMU's official residential policy stated in the Guide to Admissions 2026-27, candidates admitted to Evening/Part-Time courses and courses running under the Centre of Professional Courses (CPC) are NOT provided hostel accommodation. Students are expected to make their own arrangements for accommodation in or around Aligarh. This is an important factor to consider, especially for outstation candidates planning to pursue this programme.
