What this article covers and sources
This article explains the GITAM Business School fees relevant to CAT and MBA aspirants: the official MBA tuition (year-wise and total), semester/annual breakdown where published, hostel and mess charges for the Hyderabad campus, one-time refundable and non-refundable deposits, scholarship and concession categories that apply to management students, payment modes and schedule, and the refund/cancellation rules that affect fee refunds.
Figures are drawn from official and high-quality third-party publications only. The primary official reference is the GITAM admissions fee page and the Hyderabad campus course listing maintained by the university; see the campus course index at GITAM School of Business Hyderabad which anchors the official programme pages and course-wise fee entries. Where the official page provides per-semester figures, those are reproduced exactly with the published reporting period.
Secondary, corroborating sources used because they publish campus-level fee breakdowns and hostel details include recent third-party college-data pages updated in 2026: Shiksha (last updated 30 Sep 2026) and Collegedunia (updated 10 Aug 2026). These sources report the Hyderabad campus MBA total and annual splits, hostel fee ranges and Ph.D. tuition figures; they are cited for items not shown in the central fee index.
The article marks every numeric item with its source and the last-updated date when that source is time-sensitive. If an official 2027 fee schedule is not yet published, this guide uses the latest officially published 2026 figures and clearly labels them as 2026 reporting. Any figure without supported source evidence is omitted from the fee tables below rather than estimated.
UPDATE: Shiksha campus fee page used for campus-level MBA and hostel figures was last updated 30 Sep 2026; Collegedunia MBA breakdown was updated 10 Aug 2026. Official GITAM fee index is undated; where it provides numbers those are reproduced verbatim and attributed.
Quick numbers: MBA tuition, hostel and sample 2-year budget
GITAM Business School fees for the full-time MBA programme total INR 11,33,900 across two years, with year-wise tuition of INR 5,69,900 (Year 1) and INR 5,64,000 (Year 2). These figures are reported in the 2026 course-fees data updated by Collegedunia on Aug 10, 2026 and corroborated by tertiary sources updated in late 2026.
On-campus hostel charges at the Hyderabad campus range between INR 2,41,000 and INR 3,09,000 per year (including mess), with AC single/double and multi-sharing non-AC options noted in the campus fee Overview (Collegedunia, updated Aug 10, 2026; Shiksha Overview updated Sep 30, 2026).
Below table lists the verified headline numbers for quick budgeting.
| Item | Amount (INR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MBA tuition (Year 1) | INR 5,69,900 | Collegedunia, Aug 10, 2026 |
| MBA tuition (Year 2) | INR 5,64,000 | Collegedunia, Aug 10, 2026 |
| MBA total tuition (2 years) | INR 11,33,900 | Collegedunia compiled 2026 fees |
| Hostel + mess (annual range) | INR 2,41,000 - 3,09,000 | Includes 4 meals/day; Collegedunia, Aug 10, 2026 |
Practical interpretation: a resident MBA student choosing a mid-range hostel (~INR 2.75 lakh/year) should budget roughly INR 16.83 lakh for tuition plus hostel across two years (INR 11.33 lakh tuition + INR 5.5 lakh hostel). A commuter or student in lower-cost sharing hostel at the reported minimum would expect a two-year all-in of about INR 15.15 lakh (tuition + INR 4.82 lakh hostel for two years). These totals use only figures supported by the supplied sources.

Official MBA fee table (year/semester breakup)
The MBA tuition at GITAM School of Business Hyderabad is published by the university and verified by recent listings; the table below reproduces the official year-wise and semester-wise tuition amounts where the sources provide them.
| Programme | Year 1 (INR) | Year 2 (INR) | Total (INR) | Reporting period/source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master of Business Administration (MBA) | ₹5,69,900 | ₹5,64,000 | ₹11,33,900 | GITAM listings and Collegedunia, Updated: Aug 10, 2026 |
The official GITAM admissions fee page lists semester tuition rows by programme but does not show a campus-specific two-year total in a single row; Collegedunia and collegial listings report the MBA Year‑1 and Year‑2 tuition with a combined total for the 2026 cycle. Use the GITAM School of Business Hyderabad link for the MBA programme page where these tuition items are stated in published fee tables.
Interpretation: Year 1 comprises the first two semesters billed cumulatively as INR 5,69,900; Year 2 (semesters 3–4) is billed as INR 5,64,000, giving a programme tuition total of INR 11,33,900 for the 2026 reporting period. Candidates should budget the tuition per academic year when planning payment schedules or loans.
The figures above reflect the 2026 published fee cycle (Collegedunia update Aug 10, 2026; Shiksha listing updated Sep 30, 2026). Confirm any 2027 adjustments on the official GITAM admissions portal before payment.
One-time fees and refundable deposits
GITAM Business School fees include several one-time charges at admission; the official GITAM fee pages and recent college listings provide the supported items below. The table lists only components for which verified amounts are available in the supplied sources.
| Fee component | Amount (INR) | Refundable | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application / Processing fee | <em>—</em> | Application fees are published per cycle on the GITAM admissions portal; specific amounts were not listed in the supplied official fee page extracts. | |
| Ph.D. Application fee (published) | INR 1,200 | No | Ph.D. application fee shown on the official fee structure (Ph.D mode of admission table). Published: undated. |
| Ph.D. Annual fee (general category) | INR 30,000 (per year) | No | Listed under Ph.D. mode of admission as annual fee; included here because it appears in the official fee table used as a primary source. |
| Caution / Security deposit | <em>—</em> | GITAM site lists refundable deposits as part of components for some programmes but does not provide campus-level amounts for Hyderabad in the supplied extract. |
The official GITAM fee page provides explicit per-programme semester figures but omits campus-specific one-time deposit numbers for Hyderabad; third-party sources (Shiksha, Collegedunia) report tuition and hostel totals but do not publish verified one-time deposit amounts. Practically, MBA candidates should plan for a caution/security deposit (refundable) and a separate refundable hostel deposit at admission; keep payment receipts as the university refunds these at the end of the programme subject to clearances.
For Ph.D. applicants, the supplied official extract confirms a INR 1,200 application fee and a recurring annual tuition charge of INR 30,000 for Indian full-time scholars. For any unspecified one-time charges, consult the GITAM admissions portal or the Hyderabad campus admissions office before payment.
Hostel and mess fees: room types and annual charges
GITAM Business School hostel accommodation at the Hyderabad campus is available in multiple room types with meals included; annual charges depend on AC/non-AC and sharing. Verified official campus-level hostel rates are reported in public sources updated in 2026.
Below table summarises the room options and annual charges supported by public data for the Hyderabad campus.
| Room Type | Annual Hostel Fee (INR) | Meals Included | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-AC (multi-sharing: double/triple/four) | ₹2,41,000 | Yes | Annual fee reported as lower bound for non-AC multi-sharing (2026 update) |
| AC (single/double) | ₹3,09,000 | Yes | Annual fee reported as upper bound for AC single/double (2026 update) |
Collegedunia and Shiksha pages updated in 2026 list the same hostel fee range of ₹2,41,000 to ₹3,09,000 per year for GITAM Hyderabad, with meals (four meals daily) included in the published descriptions. The hostel fee normally covers room, four meals a day, Wi-Fi, laundry basics and 24-hour electricity backup as stated in the 2026 reports; specific inclusions should be confirmed with campus hostel office.
Practical interpretation: MBA candidates budgeting for two years should add the hostel range to tuition. An MBA student staying in the highest-rate AC option would add ₹6,18,000 across two years; at the minimum multi-sharing rate the two-year hostel cost is ₹4,82,000.

Fees for other business programmes (BBA, B.Com, Ph.D.)
The BBA, B.Com (ACCA) and Ph.D. fee figures for GITAM Hyderabad are published for the 2026 cycle and are listed below with annual and total tuition where available.
| Programme | Duration | Annual Fee (INR) | Total Fee (INR) | Reporting period/source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBA (General, Business Analytics, Financial Markets) | 3 years | 2,91,000 | 8,73,000 | 2026 / Collegedunia (updated 10 Aug 2026) |
| BBA (Entrepreneurship) | 3 years | 8,24,000 | 24,72,000 | 2026 / Collegedunia (updated 10 Aug 2026) |
| B.Com (with ACCA) | 3 years | 1,95,000 | 5,85,000 | 2026 / Collegedunia (updated 10 Aug 2026) |
| Ph.D. (Management specialisations) | 3 years minimum | 30,000 | 90,000 | 2026 / GITAM fee structure (site undated) and Collegedunia (updated 10 Aug 2026) |
Interpretation: the standard BBA tracks carry a uniform annual tuition of ₹2.91 lakh, while the Entrepreneurship variant is priced significantly higher at ₹8.24 lakh per year₹1.95 lakh per year₹30,000 per year (₹90,000 total for three years).
Scholarship eligibility and continuation rules differ by programme; see the Scholarships section for MBA/UG scholarships and the official GITAM admissions portal for Ph.D. application fees and processing charges.
Scholarships and fee concessions (MBA & UG)
GITAM Business School scholarships are awarded through merit slabs tied to entrance scores and need-based schemes; continuation rules require minimum academic performance in later years. The campus publishes scholarship slabs and application details on its scholarship page.
Below table summarises the scholarship categories and the conditions that GITAM publishes for business programmes where official slabs are available.
| Scholarship Type | Eligibility | Benefit (% or amount) | Renewal condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance-score / Merit slabs | CAT / XAT / GMAT / MAT / GBAT or GITAM entrance test ranks/scores | Up to 100% (slab structure across 100%, 75%, 60%, 40%, 25%, 15%) | Maintain minimum CGPA 8.0 (published continuation criteria) |
| Need-based scholarship | Household income below prescribed limits and meritorious slab recipient | Additional 20% towards hostel fee for selected slabs | Continues subject to income verification and academic performance |
| Employee / Loyalty scholarships | Children, spouse or alumni / employees’ children | 10%–60% (varies by category) | Renewal tied to eligibility status and satisfactory progress |
Interpretation: merit slabs offer the largest fee relief for high percentile candidates; need-based aid supplements hostel charges. GITAM’s Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad scholarship pages list exact percentiles and score bands (100% to 15%) mapped to tests including CAT and GBAT — the published tables show threshold percentiles for each slab and note that scholarships are awarded in the first year and continued only if the student meets the minimum CGPA.
eligibility: Scholarship slabs are awarded on entrance-test percentiles; continuation normally requires a CGPA of 8.0 in subsequent years per GITAM scholarship rules.
Payment schedule, accepted modes and installment options
GITAM Business School fees are normally collected as per the university’s semester schedule with tuition billed each semester; the Hyderabad campus uses the central GITAM payments system for tuition and allied charges. Official campus pages list semester-wise tuition numbers for programmes but do not publish a publicised multi-instalment calendar on the admissions fee page.
Below is a concise table of the payment channels and practical instructions that GITAM Hyderabad accepts or that official sources commonly report for GITAM admissions payments.
| Payment Type | Details/Instructions | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Online payment gateway | Institute accepts online payments via the GITAM admissions portal and net-banking/UPI/card gateways as part of the university’s e-payment interface. | Use the GITAM admissions fee portal at application/enrolment; retain transaction/reference receipt. |
| NEFT/RTGS/Bank transfer | Payments such as caution deposits or transfers are accepted through bank transfer to the university account when notified in the fee instructions. | Follow bank details on the official fee challan; mention student ID and keep UTR for verification. |
| Card/UPI | Debit/credit card and UPI options available through the online gateway for semester tuition and one-time fees. | Pay online and save payment confirmation; cards may incur bank charges. |
| Installments/EMI | GITAM does not publish an official campus-level multi-instalment schedule on the fee page; external platforms reporting GITAM Hyderabad indicate tuition is normally charged per semester. | Contact admissions/finance office for campus-specific installment plans or third-party EMI options. |
| Education loans | Standard education loan documentation applies; students arrange loans with their banks. GITAM’s admissions pages reference fee components but do not list bank tie-ups publicly. | Apply to bank early; provide offer letter and fee schedule to bank. |
Practically, CAT/MBA aspirants should plan for semester payments aligned to the academic calendar and preserve transaction receipts. For instalments or EMI programmes, the admissions or finance office on the Hyderabad campus must be contacted directly; official fee pages and 2026 notices do not publish an authorised EMI partner list or a fixed instalment calendar for 2027.
action: Students expecting instalments or EMI must request written confirmation of any payment schedule from the GITAM Hyderabad finance office before making a non-refundable payment.
Refund and cancellation policy for fee payment
GITAM Business School fees refund and cancellation rules are governed by the university’s admission and fee regulations; the most used public summaries for Hyderabad campus fees (2026) do not publish a detailed, dated refund schedule on the official fee page. Where programme-level notices exist, refunds typically separate refundable deposits from tuition and one-time payments.
Below table shows the events commonly referenced in GITAM fee notices and the university-level practices that are supported by the supplied sources. Each row reproduces only figures directly present in the public 2026 sources.
| Event (withdrawal/fee refund) | Refund %/Amount | Timeline | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refundable security/caution deposit | — | — | Official GITAM fee page lists deposits as fee components but does not publish amounts or timelines (GITAM admissions/fee-structure page; undated). |
| Tuition fee refund on withdrawal before classes | — | — | Third-party summaries (Collegedunia, Shiksha) report total fees only; no dated official refund percentage or schedule is available in the supplied sources. |
| Cancellation after admission (general) | — | — | Public portals used as supplemental sources reference GITAM refund practices qualitatively but do not provide a dated numeric refund matrix for 2026-27. |
Interpretation: supplied official material and recent secondary summaries (2026) record refundable deposits and one-time fees as components but do not publish specific refund percentages, prorating rules or exact timelines for the Hyderabad School of Business. That means precise refund amounts and processing windows must be obtained from the GITAM admissions/fee office at the time of admission.
Practical steps for applicants: 1) Ask admissions for the written refund policy and deposit refund procedure before paying; 2) retain fee receipts and bank transaction references; 3) note that one-time application or processing fees are commonly non-refundable (as with many universities) though GITAM’s current public pages do not list a definitive exception or amount.
caution: Official GITAM pages used for this article (fee structure, 2026) do not publish a dated refund schedule for Hyderabad campus — confirm refund percentages and timelines directly with the campus admissions office before payment.
Sample budget: conservative and lean MBA scenarios
GITAM Business School fees for MBA plus hostel and related costs over 24 months can be estimated using the officially reported tuition and published hostel ranges. The two sample budgets below use the verified 2026 tuition totals and the 2026 hostel ranges published by Collegedunia and Shiksha (last-updated Sep–Oct 2026).
Table: consolidated 24-month budgets for an MBA student choosing on-campus accommodation (AC single = higher band; non-AC multi-sharing = lower band). All figures are in INR.
| Budget Item | Conservative (INR) | Lean (INR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBA tuition (2 years) | 11,33,900 | 11,33,900 | GITAM MBA Year 1 ₹5,69,900 + Year 2 ₹5,64,000 (Collegedunia, updated Aug–Oct 2026) |
| Hostel (2 yrs) | 6,18,000 | 4,82,000 | Collegedunia reports annual hostel range ₹2,41,000–₹3,09,000; conservative uses AC single both years, lean uses lower annual rate both years (updated Aug–Oct 2026) |
| Mess / food & utilities | Included within the hostel annual charges per Collegedunia (meals included in hostel fee) | ||
| One-time deposits (caution/security) | Primary source lists refundable deposits generically; specific Hyderabad deposit amounts not published in available sources | ||
| Misc (books, travel, personal) | 80,000 | 40,000 | Practical allocation for two years; not itemised in GITAM sources |
| Total 24-month budget | 18,31,900 | 16,55,900 | Sum of supported tuition + hostel + listed misc |
Interpretation: Using the official tuition ₹11.33 lakh (two-year total) and the published hostel band (₹2.41–3.09 lakh per year), an MBA aspirant should plan for roughly ₹16.6–18.3 lakh total over two years depending on room choice and personal spending. Mess charges are reported bundled with hostel fees; one-time deposit amounts for Hyderabad campus were — in the supplied sources and therefore omitted from totals.

Practical pointers for fee-related decisions:
- Confirm the exact MBA tuition and yearwise breakup on the official GITAM admissions/fees page before paying; the article uses published 2026 figures where 2027 numbers were —.
- When budgeting, add annual hostel and mess charges shown in official campus notices; published ranges for hostel+meals appear in campus fee summaries from 2026.
- Retain electronic receipts for every transaction and request a fee receipt from the campus fee office; refundable deposits (caution/security) must be tracked separately.
- If you plan scholarships, follow the application deadlines and renewal conditions — many merit scholarships require a minimum CGPA to continue into subsequent years.
- Use bank NEFT/RTGS/online gateway options accepted by GITAM; for large amounts prefer direct bank transfer and notify the fees office with UTR/transaction ID.
- For loan financing, start sanction and disbursal well ahead of the fee due date; loan processing can take several weeks.
