This is a bundled programme fee including tuition, books/course materials, accommodation and listed service facilities. It excludes the International Immersion Programme (IIP), including its travel/stay costs; electricity, telephone, laundry and sports/gym charges are extra by usage. These are 2026–27 amounts, not a confirmed 2027–28 fee.[72]

As of 3 October 2026, no official 2027-28 MBAEx fee schedule was located. The latest accessible official IIMC fee page is for AY 2024-25: INR 31,00,000 non-refundable programme fee, payable in four instalments. It included tuition, course material/books, accommodation, economy airfare and some immersion-programme incidentals; it excluded food, electricity and personal expenses. That schedule also required a INR 60,000 refundable security deposit (subject to dues). This is historical, not a confirmed 2027 fee.[84]

IIML’s 2027–28 fee notice, available by 3 October 2026: INR 26,00,000 programme fee + INR 20,000 refundable caution money + INR 5,000 alumni membership fee; the online application fee is a separate non-refundable INR 5,000. The programme fee includes tuition, course materials, basic single-occupancy campus accommodation with shared washroom, food, computing/networking, library, career counselling, student activities, convocation, and academic inputs, visa and stay during the overseas module. Airfare for international immersion is extra on actual basis; overseas-module boarding and incidentals are also extra. The published fee does not specify a separate tax amount.[88]

ISB’s published 2027–28 fee schedule (INR; shared accommodation, single-instalment column) totals ₹40,46,520 including GST and the ₹20,000 interest-free refundable security deposit. Components include ₹26,64,000 tuition, ₹2,34,000 shared accommodation (GST-exempt), and admission plus commitment charges of ₹6,45,000 including GST. The schedule separately estimates about ₹4,50,000 in on-campus student expenses: books ₹20,000, laptop ₹75,000, meal plan ₹80,000, other expenses ₹2,25,000 and insurance ₹50,000. Taxes are subject to rates at payment; the school marks other expenses as indicative. Fee schedule is for academic year 2027–28, not a guaranteed final bill.[98]

IIMK’s current PGP-BL fee page (updated 3 October 2026; PGP-BL 08/2027 intake) lists INR 22,50,000 programme fee and INR 3,000 non-refundable application fee. The programme fee includes delivery, books/instruction material, in-campus accommodation and facilities, plus programme/coordination fees for international immersion. Mess/canteen is extra and use-dependent; international-immersion travel and stay are extra. The fee page links a PGP-BL 08 fee breakup; confirm the instalment schedule before accepting an offer.[104]

Ahmedabad campus, one-year PGPX basis: IIMA does not publish a separate living-expense budget in the cited material. The residential accommodation is included in the 2026–27 bundled fee; utilities are billed by usage and IIP travel/stay is extra. No verified food/personalspending estimate is published, so the programme fee should not be treated as an all-in cost.[71]

For the one-year Bengaluru campus basis in the 2026–27 schedule, hostel accommodation plus mess is INR 1,43,000 (INR 80,000 + INR 63,000). This is the school’s quoted residential/ meal cost, not a full personal-spending estimate; incidental expenses are not itemized. International immersion is separately budgeted in the fee schedule at an indicative INR 5,50,000.[76][78]

No IIMC-specific living budget was located. Numbeo’s Kolkata city estimate updated 2 October 2026 is INR 31,229.7 per month for one person, excluding rent; it is a citywide proxy, not an MBAEx/campus budget. IIMC’s 2024-25 fee disclosure included accommodation but excluded food, electricity and personal expenses; re-check the 2027-28 fee and residence terms before budgeting.[86]

No separate living-cost estimate is published for the 2027–28 programme year. For the Noida campus, basic single-occupancy accommodation (shared washroom) and food are included in the programme fee. Accommodation upgrades, overseas-module airfare, boarding and incidentals such as local transport and internet are additional; no verified rupee budget for these extras is published.[88][90]

Hyderabad city benchmark: Numbeo estimated ₹33,047 per month for a single person excluding rent, last updated 2 October 2026. This is a citywide estimate, not an ISB-campus budget; ISB accommodation is separately itemised in the 2027–28 fee schedule, and the figure does not represent Mohali living costs.[98][100]

Kozhikode campus, one-year residential programme: IIMK says incampus air-conditioned, twin-share hostel accommodation is included in the programme fee. Mess/ canteen charges are additional and use-dependent, and travel/stay for the international immersion is extra. IIMK does not publish a separate numeric annual living-cost or meal estimate on the cited fee/FAQ pages, so a total living budget cannot be verified from official sources.[103][104]
