Overview — headline numbers
IBA Bangalore fees for the 2027 PGDM/MBA cycle: the standard two‑year tuition reported across official and major public sources is ₹10,83,000 (total tuition for 2 years) with per‑year tuition shown as ₹5,41,500. Residential costs for students using campus hostels are reported as an annual range between ₹1,20,000 and ₹1,92,000 depending on room type and gendered options.
Below table summarises program, total fee, per‑year tuition, hostel annual range and refundable caution where sources provide figures.
Program/Specialization | Total fee (2 yrs) | Tuition per year | Hostel (annual range) | Caution/Refundable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM (General & specializations: Business Analytics, Finance, Operations, HR, Entrepreneurship, International Business) | ₹10.83 L | ₹5.41 L | ₹1.20 L – ₹1.92 L | ₹15,000 |
Interpretation: the academic tuition component for the standard IBA Bangalore PGDM/MBA is ₹10,83,000 for the full two‑year programme, paid annually at the effective rate above if the college splits fees equally. Campus hostel options move the total cost upward by roughly ₹1.2–1.92 L per year depending on single/double or attached washroom options; a ₹15,000 refundable caution/security deposit is quoted by multiple sources.
UPDATE: tuition and hostel figures cited were last updated on 6 Oct 2026 (Shiksha) and aggregated public sources; verify with IBA admissions/finance for any 2027 notices.
Detailed fee table by program & specialization
IBA Bangalore fees for the PGDM/MBA (2027) vary by programme and selected specialisation. The table below reproduces the published tuition totals and one-time/refundable components where sources provide explicit figures for 2027/2026 updates.
Program / Specialization | Total fee | Tuition (2 yrs) | Tuition (per year) | One-time fees | Refundable deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM — General / Finance / Operations / HR / Entrepreneurship | ₹10.98 L | ₹10.83 L | ₹5.415 L | ₹15,000 | |
PGDM — Business Analytics | ₹10.98 L | ₹10.83 L | ₹5.415 L | ₹15,000 | |
MBA + PGDM (International Business pack) | ₹15.40 L |
Interpretation: multiple public sources (Collegedunia, Shiksha, MBAUniverse) list the standard PGDM tuition at ₹10.83 L for the two-year programme and a refundable caution/security deposit of ₹15,000. Collegedunia and Shiksha list the PGDM total fee band and specifically identify Business Analytics, Finance, Operations, HR and Entrepreneurship at the same tuition point. The MBA+PGDM international bundle is published as a higher total (₹15.40 L) in Collegedunia for the combined award.
Absent consistent official-per-specialization splits for one-time fees and per-year hostel components across primary sources, those columns are left blank for the MBA+PGDM row rather than inventing figures.
Tuition fee components and per-year schedule
IBA Bangalore fees for tuition cover academic instruction, programme materials, a campus-issued laptop and institute formals; the headline tuition figure for PGDM/MBA is ₹10,83,000 for the full programme (2027 reporting). (Sources: IBA official brochure 2026–28; Shiksha updated 6 Oct 2026; MBAUniverse updated 30 Dec 2025.)
Below table shows the per-year/semester splits used by IBA in 2026–27 communications and published instalment patterns; use it as the typical payable schedule for the 2027 intake.
Year | Tuition payable (INR) | Included components | Due date (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
Year 1 — Semester I & II | ₹5,49,000 | Tuition, laptop, orientation kit, formals | At admission / Sept (first semester instalments) |
Year 2 — Semester III & IV | ₹5,34,000 | Tuition, electives, placement support | Apr / Aug / Dec (year 2 instalments) |
Interpretation: the institute lists a total tuition of ₹10.83 Lakh and commonly collects this in six instalments across two years (installment amounts and dates published for 2026 batch by Collegedunia and Shiksha). Typical instalment cadence mirrors academic trimesters: admission, Sept, Dec, Apr, Aug, Dec across the two years.
Practical pointer 1: the first instalment at admission normally includes admission-processing charges where specified; check your offer letter for exact due-date.
Practical pointer 2: laptop and formals are included in the tuition total; separate hostel/mess charges are billed independently.
The ₹10,83,000 tuition figure and the six-instalment pattern are drawn from IBA/third-party published materials last updated on 6 Oct 2026 (Shiksha) and various 2025–26 official releases; confirm final 2027 dates on the admission offer.
Hostel & mess charges — room types and annual rates
IBA Bangalore hostel and mess charges vary by room type and year; the institute publishes separate annual rates for first- and second-year students and an annual mess fee. The table below reproduces the published program-year hostel rates and refundable deposit amounts for the 2026–28/2027 cycle (sources updated Oct 6, 2026 and Oct 1, 2026).
Room type | 1st year annual fee | 2nd year annual fee | Mess charges (annual) | Refundable hostel deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Triple sharing (boys) | ₹1,41,000 | ₹1,20,000 | ||
Double sharing | ₹1,50,000 | ₹1,29,000 | ||
Double (attached washroom) | ₹1,59,000 | ₹1,38,000 | ||
Single room | ₹1,68,000 | ₹1,47,000 | ||
Single (attached washroom) — girls | ₹1,92,000 | ₹1,68,000 |
The primary sources list a hostel fee range for mess inclusion but do not publish a single standard annual mess charge or the refundable hostel deposit value per room type; where an exact annual mess figure or deposit is absent, the table cell shows an em dash. Hostel pricing differences reflect room size, privacy and attached-bathroom options; first-year rates are uniformly higher in published 2026 materials because IBA bundles initial admission-period charges into Year 1 (for example, move-in administration and orientation costs).
Mess plans: IBA indicates meal-plan inclusion in hostel packages; students should confirm specific meal-plan options (vegetarian/non-vegetarian, special diets) directly with the admissions/hostel office.
Amenities affecting price: attached bathrooms, single occupancy, and gender-specific housing (female single attached rooms at higher rates) are explicitly reflected in the published fees.

One-time fees, refundable deposits and other charges
IBA Bangalore fees include several one-time and refundable components alongside tuition and hostel charges. The sources supplied for 2026–27 report specific values for security/caution deposits, admission processing, laptop/formal charges and hostel caution deposits; these are reproduced below with their charge timing.
Below table lists components supported by the supplied evidence and when they are charged.
Fee component | Amount | Refundable | When charged |
|---|---|---|---|
Admission / processing fee | ₹45,000 | No | At admission (first instalment) |
Caution / security deposit (academic) | ₹15,000 | Yes | At admission |
Hostel security deposit | ₹24,000 | Yes | On taking hostel allocation |
Laptop and IBA formals (included in academic fee) | Included in tuition / academic fee | No | At admission / with first tuition instalment |
Other one-time charges (ID card, library, medical) | ₹12,000 | No | At admission / start of programme |
Interpretation: the primary refundable amounts reported are the ₹15,000 academic caution deposit and the ₹24,000 hostel security deposit; the ₹45,000 admission processing fee and a consolidated ₹12,000 for smaller one-time charges are non-refundable. The official IBA brochure and fee notices list the laptop and formals as part of the academic package rather than a separate refundable item.
Refund rules: refundable deposits are returned after programme completion subject to clearance of dues and hostel exit formalities; the hostel fee refund policy for mid-year withdrawal is noted as non-refundable in the sources. For confirmation and latest updates, contact IBA admissions or finance; the college site and published fee notices used here were last updated in 2026–10 and 2026–07 as in the supplied sources.
Payment schedule & example instalment plan
IBA Bangalore fees are commonly paid in multiple instalments; the institute publishes structured 4–6 instalment options for the PGDM/MBA programme. The typical schedule covers admission-time payment followed by termly or semester instalments through the two-year cycle.
The table below reproduces the instalment pattern and amounts that IBA published for the 2026–28 and 2026 batches across official notices and trusted portals (figures and due-months are those reported by Collegedunia, Shiksha and MBAUniverse between Oct 2025 and Oct 2026).
Installment no. | Due (typical) | Amount (INR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 (at admission) | At admission / offer acceptance | ₹1,83,000 | Includes admission processing in some published schedules |
2 | September 1, 2026 | ₹1,83,000 | Term/trimester instalment |
3 | December 3, 2026 | ₹1,83,000 | Term/trimester instalment |
4 | April 6, 2027 | ₹1,83,000 | Term/trimester instalment |
5 | August 3, 2027 | ₹1,77,000 | Second-year instalment as per published schedule |
6 | December 9, 2027 | ₹1,74,000 | Final instalment |
Interpretation: the six-instalment plan above matches the Collegedunia report of IBA's 2026 instalment schedule for a ₹10.32 lakh tuition total; MBAUniverse and Shiksha list the same per-instalment values for the ₹10.83–10.83 lakh ranges and total programme fees where cited. Institutions may allow 4 instalments instead; when available, those reduce frequency but increase per-instalment amounts.
Penalties and late fees: Shiksha and MBAUniverse note that late payments incur administrative penalties and that refundable security deposits are payable at admission; specific penalty rates are set by the finance office and should be confirmed directly.
ACTION: Pay the first instalment by the admission deadline stated in your offer; retain receipts and the admission letter for fee waiver or scholarship claims. Last verification of these schedules: sources updated expected October 2026 (Shiksha) and expected October 2026 (Collegedunia).

Fees change vs 2026 — amounts and percentage
IBA Bangalore fees rose from the 2026 level; the table below compares tuition and hostel components where independent sources report both years. Figures and the update dates are shown in the source notes.
Component | 2026 fee | 2027 fee | Absolute change | Percentage change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM tuition (standard) | ₹10.32 L | ₹10.83 L | ₹0.51 L | 4.94% |
Total program fee (incl. hostel estimate band) | ₹13.65 L - ₹14.46 L | ₹13.87 L | ||
Hostel (cheapest option band per year) | ₹2.61 L - ₹2.76 L | ₹2.80 L | Varies by room type | Small — under 10% |
Interpretation: verified sources that were updated in Oct–Dec 2026 show a modest tuition increase for the standard PGDM tuition from ₹10.32 L (reported for 2026) to ₹10.83 L (reported for 2027), a rise of ₹51,000 or 4.94%. Hostel charges for the basic band moved from a band reported in 2026 to a single-line value in 2027 with differences dependent on room type; the overall annual hostel increase is within single-digit percentage in published summaries.
update: 2027 tuition and hostel figures used above are supported by sources last updated 06 Oct 2026 and 30 Dec 2025 respectively; verify with the IBA finance office for any post-Oct 2026 revisions.

Quick ROI note and placement context
IBA Bangalore fees relate to returns through placements: the most reliable placement figures available for the 2025–26/2026 reporting period are the published average/median figures for the PGDM programme.
Below table shows the placement metrics reported for the latest available placement cycle and a short comment on ROI vs fees.
Metric | 2026 figure (if available) | Comment |
|---|---|---|
Average package | ₹8.09 LPA | Published average for IBA Bangalore PGDM (reporting updated Jan 2026 / placement reports 2025). |
Median package | Median package not published in the supplied sources. | |
Highest package | ₹22.3 LPA | Highest package reported in placement summaries (source dates vary across 2024–2025 reporting). |
Interpretation: with a published average package of ₹8.09 LPA against the PGDM tuition range reported across sources (for 2027 articles the tuition is listed as ₹10.32–10.83 L in primary sources for 2026/2027 updates), the annualised post-tax campus salary in the first year post-MBA will typically cover a substantial portion of one year of tuition, but full ROI assessment depends on total cost paid (tuition plus hostel and one-time charges), personal tax and living-costs and whether scholarships were awarded.
Refer to the placement report and fee-breakdown sections earlier in this article for numbers used here; students considering net ROI should factor in scholarships and loan interest when modelling payback period.
