Quick numbers: total fees & programme differences
IMT Ghaziabad fees for flagship PGDM programmes and variants are presented below so aspirants can shortlist by cost. The standard two-year PGDM (core, Marketing, Finance, B&FS) carries a published total tuition of ₹23,00,000. The Dual Country Program (DCP) splits charges between India and Dubai: the India component is ₹10,03,000 plus a Dubai-side component shown in AED. The accelerated PGDM ExP (ExP/Executive) and short PG Diploma figures are lower and listed individually in the table.
Below table lists tuition totals and the DCP AED component where applicable; occupancy variants are shown for DCP because hospitality/hostel charges in Dubai differ for single and double occupancy.
Program | Total tuition (INR) | DCP AED component (AED) | Total payable (INR + AED) | Occupancy variant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM — General / Marketing / Finance / B&FS | ₹23,00,000 | ₹23,00,000 | ||
PGDM Dual Country Program (DCP) | ₹10,03,000 (India) | AED 87,675 (double) / AED 94,275 (single) | ₹10,03,000 + AED 87,675 / AED 94,275 | Double / Single occupancy (Dubai hospitality) |
PGDM ExP (Executive) | ₹21,03,000 | ₹21,03,000 | ||
PG Diploma | ₹1,10,000 | ₹1,10,000 |
Interpretation: the standard PGDM tuition (₹23 lakh) is higher than the ExP and PG Diploma; the DCP appears lower in INR because part of fee is billed in AED — aspirants must add the Dubai AED component and UAE taxes to compare effective cost. Use the admission schedule and fee-deadline context in IMT Ghaziabad Admission 2026: Eligibility, Dates & Fees when planning payments.
The DCP Dubai-side totals above include hospitality, visa, insurance and refundable deposits stated in the institute fee sheet; UAE VAT and bank/overseas wire charges are additional and must be borne by the candidate.
Fee table: PGDM core, Marketing, Finance, B&FS, ExP, PG Diploma
IMT Ghaziabad fees for the principal programmes group into two clear bands: the standard two-year PGDM variants and the accelerated/executive offerings. The table below lists tuition and the one-time/non-tuition components that together form the published programme totals.
Program | Tuition (INR) | Admission fee (INR) | Caution deposit (INR) | Alumni fee (INR) | Total (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM (Core) / Marketing / Finance / B&FS | 22,27,000 | 50,000 | 15,000 | 8,000 | 23,00,000 |
PGDM ExP (Accelerated / Executive) | 20,30,000 | 50,000 | 15,000 | 8,000 | 21,03,000 |
PG Diploma (selected certificate/PG diploma) | 1,10,000 | 1,10,000 |
The tuition and components for the standard PGDM specialisations (core, Marketing, Finance, Banking & Financial Services) and the ExP programme are supported by multiple official-aggregate reports and aggregator pages updated in 2026. The PGDM family uses a two-installment tuition charging pattern; one-time charges (admission, refundable caution deposit and lifetime alumni fee) combine to ₹73,000 for the standard PGDM. The ExP total follows the same break-up with a lower tuition share.
Practical interpretation: if you budget for IMT Ghaziabad fees for a standard PGDM you should plan for a taxable tuition component of ₹22.27 lakh plus one-time non-tuition payments of ₹73,000 (caution refundable). For PGDM ExP the tuition is ₹20.3 lakh and total programme figure ₹21.03 lakh.

Detailed DCP breakdown — INR + AED items and instalments
The DCP fee is split between IMT Ghaziabad charges in INR and IMT Dubai charges in AED; instalments mix both currencies. The published IMT DCP fee sheet shows the India-side totals and a separate Dubai-side schedule that changes by occupancy (single or double).
Below table reproduces every line item that is present and supported in the official DCP fee document.
Component | Amount (INR/AED) | Instalment number | Refundable (Yes/No) |
|---|---|---|---|
Admission Fees | INR 50,000 | 1 | No |
Tuition Fees (India) | INR 3,80,000 | 1 | No |
Tuition Fees (Dubai) | AED 50,000 | 6 | No |
Additional Dubai tuition instalments | AED 17,000 (2nd), AED 17,000 (3rd), AED 16,000 (4th) | 2,3,4 | No |
Tuition Fees (India) second instalment | INR 2,50,000 | 2 | No |
Group Insurance | AED 1,100 | 3 | No |
Visa Charges | AED 3,300 | 4 | No |
Hospitality (Double) | AED 28,600 | 5 | No |
Hospitality (Single) | AED 35,200 | 5 | No |
IMT Publication | AED 175 | 3 | No |
Lifetime Alumni Fees | INR 8,000 | 1 | No |
Hostel Deposit | INR 15,000 + AED 3,500 | 1 | Yes |
Library Deposit | AED 1,000 | 1 | Yes |
Practical interpretation: the India ledger shows an initial INR 4,53,000 (admission + first Indian tuition + deposits + alumni) and a second India instalment of INR 2,50,000. The Dubai ledger lists several AED instalments totalling AED 87,675 (double) or AED 94,275 (single) depending on occupancy; the final combined programme total is reported as INR 10,03,000 plus the AED component in the official sheet.
VAT/VAT note: UAE VAT/GST where applicable and bank/overseas wire charges are additional and must be borne by the candidate (document note).
AED-line charges are subject to UAE VAT and any bank/overseas wire fees; the published DCP sheet lists these as extra costs to the student.
PGDM ExP and PG Diploma fees
PGDM ExP and the institutes PG Diploma programmes carry separate, programme-specific tuition totals and the same one-time components (admission fee, refundable caution deposit, lifetime alumni fee) where published. Use the table below for the component-wise totals recorded in official and recent public sources.
Program | Tuition total (INR) | Admission fee (INR) | Caution deposit (INR) | Alumni fee (INR) | Total payable (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PGDM ExP (18 months) | 21,03,000 | 50,000 | 15,000 | 8,000 | 21,03,000 |
PG Diploma (selected certificates) | 1,10,000 | 1,10,000 |
Interpretation: the PGDM ExP published tuition ₹21,03,000 (source updated July 2026) is listed alongside the standard one-time charges that apply across PGDM variants; several public pages show the same admission fee ₹50,000, caution deposit ₹15,000 and alumni fee ₹8,000 used in non-DCP programmes. The standalone PG Diploma tuition of ₹1,10,000 appears in official course listings for 2027.
Instalments: IMTs published instalment schedules explicitly cover standard PGDM and DCP in primary PDFs; for ExP and PG Diploma the sources show total tuition values and do not provide a multi-instalment split in the supplied evidence, so list price should be treated as the programme total payable. For fee queries or payment modes, candidates should consult the admissions office; scholarship and waiver details are handled under the institutes published scholarship policy.
Hostel, deposits and occupancy choices
Hostel, deposits and occupancy choices at IMT Ghaziabad are split between the India-resident PGDM components and, for the Dual Country Program (DCP), Dubai-side charges in AED. The institute charges a refundable Hostel Deposit and a refundable Library Deposit; room hospitality charges for Dubai vary by single or double occupancy and are listed separately in the DCP fee sheet.
Below table reproduces the published amounts from IMT's DCP fee schedule where both INR and AED items are shown. Use this when comparing total payable for the DCP; standard PGDM campus hostel amounts for Ghaziabad are reported in secondary sources and appear under separate hostel fee lines in programme totals.
Item | Double occupancy (INR/AED) | Single occupancy (INR/AED) | Refundable (Yes/No) |
|---|---|---|---|
Hostel Deposit | ₹15,000 / AED 3,500 | ₹15,000 / AED 3,500 | Yes |
Library Deposit | / AED 1,000 | / AED 1,000 | Yes |
Hospitality Fees (Dubai) | / AED 28,600 | / AED 35,200 | No |
All AED figures and the hostel/library deposits above are taken from IMT Ghaziabad's DCP fee PDF (no update date provided) and appear in the programme totals: the DCP total shows an India component of ₹10,03,000 plus Dubai components of AED 87,675 for double occupancy and AED 94,275 for single occupancy.
For standard (non-DCP) PGDM programmes, hostel charges are reported separately in sources; one example lists annual hostel & mess at ₹1,00,000 per year for double sharing, which is added to the tuition totals in programme-level tables. When budgeting, combine refundable deposits with the first instalment due at seat acceptance and add the Dubai AED component for DCP applicants—remember that UAE VAT and overseas wire charges are additional and payable by the student.

Taxes, bank and overseas wire charges
IMT Ghaziabad fees include programme charges that are explicitly exclusive of UAE VAT/GST and bank/overseas wire charges where UAE/Dubai components apply (Dual Country Program). Candidates are responsible for any tax or government levies on the AED amounts and for bank fees when transferring funds abroad.
The IMT DCP fee notice lists a specific note: the Dubai-side charges are exclusive of VAT/GST applicable as per prevailing regulations of the UAE Government and bank charges/overseas wire charges, which must be borne by the candidate. The notice is undated in the supplied PDF; treat these as formal exclusions in the published DCP fee sheet.
Practical bank-transfer pointers:
When paying AED components for the DCP, request the exact AED beneficiary details and a pro forma invoice showing the AED amounts: admission, tuition (AED 50,000 listed), hospitality and visa items from the DCP fee sheet so your bank can quote foreign-transfer charges correctly.
Budget for outgoing transfer fees and intermediary bank charges; the DCP PDF explicitly states these are additional and borne by the payer. Use your banks fastest available routed transfer (SWIFT) if timing matters and obtain an MT103/UTR receipt for proof of payment.
Where possible, split INR and AED payments exactly as shown on the DCP schedule to avoid reconciliation delays — the PDF separates IMT Ghaziabad INR instalments (for example, an Indian tuition component of ₹9,30,000) and Dubai AED instalments.
Expected extras to budget (documented in supplied DCP sheet): UAE VAT/GST on AED items, bank charges/overseas wire charges, and any currency-conversion margins your bank applies. The DCP sheet also lists small AED line items such as visa charges AED 3,300 and group insurance AED 1,100 that are payable in Dubai currency.
CAUTION: The DCP document notes that VAT/GST and bank/wire charges are extra and will be charged as per prevailing UAE and banking rules; keep additional funds ready when paying AED components.
For standard (non-DCP) PGDM programmes, tuition and one-time charges quoted in INR in official summaries do not show an explicit VAT exclusion in the supplied sources; banks domestic transfer charges still apply and should be verified with your payment bank.
Instalment schedules and payment deadlines
IMT Ghaziabad fees instalments are split across the academic cycle; candidates must pay a mix of one-time amounts and periodic tuition instalments. For the standard PGDM (non-DCP) the published schedule shows tuition charged in two per-annum instalments: Rs. 12,27,000 in year 1 and Rs. 10,00,000 in year 2, plus one-time charges. The PGDM ExP published total is Rs. 21,03,000 (single total); instalment pattern follows institute communication at offer time.
The IMT Ghaziabad Dual Country Program (DCP) requires multiple instalments in both INR and AED. The DCP record lists six instalments: an India admission payment and tuition components plus five further instalments that include AED charges for Dubai tuition, insurance, visa and hospitality. The DCP line items in the published PDF show an India-side total of Rs. 10,03,000 and Dubai-side totals of AED 87,675 (double occupancy) or AED 94,275 (single occupancy).
Below table shows programme, instalment count and timing as supported by official figures.
Program | No. of instalments | Instalment amounts and timing |
|---|---|---|
PGDM (core, Marketing, Finance, B&FS) | 2 | Yr1: Rs. 12,27,000 due at offer/start; Yr2: Rs. 10,00,000 due before second year term . |
PGDM Dual Country (DCP) | 6 | INR: Admission Rs. 50,000 + instalments totalling Rs. 10,03,000; AED: staged payments totalling AED 87,675/ AED 94,275 depending on occupancy, paid as per Dubai-term schedule in the DCP PDF. |
PGDM ExP | Published total Rs. 21,03,000; instalment dates issued in offer letter. |
Practical interpretation: pay the first-year instalment and one-time charges by the offer acceptance deadline; DCP candidates must also convert and pay AED components and bear applicable UAE VAT and transfer fees. Keep bank/wire lead time in mind when meeting Dubai-term instalments.
ACTION: Secure funds for the first-year instalment and refundable deposits by the seat-acceptance deadline; DCP candidates must arrange AED payments and account for UAE VAT and wire charges.
Refunds, scholarships and fee waivers
IMT Ghaziabad fees refunds follow standard seat-acceptance and withdrawal rules; refundable deposits (caution/hostel) are returned at the end of the programme subject to deductions. The institute’s published fee documents show a refundable hostel deposit of ₹15,000 and a library deposit of ₹1,000 for DCP; the caution deposit appears in other fee notes as ₹15,000.
IMT Ghaziabad offers named scholarships and waivers that apply to tuition. Official scholarship categories documented in public admissions/placement summaries include the Smt. Leela Nath Memorial Scholarship and a Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme. These are applied as tuition reductions, not against non-tuition charges such as admission fee or refundable deposits.
Below is a compact table of scholarships and eligibility as reported by IMT communications and placement/admissions summaries.
Scholarship name | Eligibility | Benefit | Application timing |
|---|---|---|---|
Smt. Leela Nath Memorial Scholarship | Female candidates admitted to PGDM | 25% tuition waiver | Post-joining / disbursed after payment (documented in IMT scholarship notes 2026) |
Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) Scheme | Economically weaker sections (income criteria as per scheme) | 100% tuition waiver | As per admission/scholarship process (applied post-admission) |
Merit-based scholarships | High entrance percentile/merit (men & women separate slabs) | 25–30% tuition (men 25%, women 30%/30% slab reported) | After final admission; award credited to student account |
IMT Ghaziabad fees literature specifies scholarships as adjustments to the academic tuition component only; one-time charges such as ₹50,000 admission fee and refundable deposits remain payable unless a specific waiver is stated. Candidates should note scholarship disbursal timing—most waivers are applied after joining and reflected in the student account for the programme year. For official admission timelines and fee payment deadlines refer to IMT Ghaziabad Admission 2026: Eligibility, Dates & Fees.
Practical budgeting pointers and ROI note
IMT Ghaziabad fees require planning: standard PGDM programmes carry a total tuition of ₹23,00,000, PGDM ExP is shown at ₹21,03,000, and the Dual Country Program combines India and Dubai components listed as ₹10,03,000 (INR) plus AED 87,675 (double) or AED 94,275 (single) in the supplied DCP fee sheet (numbers from official DCP PDF and recent site summaries).
Budgeting checklist for aspirants planning loans or personal funding:
Use the programme total as loan principal: for PGDM non-DCP take ₹23,00,000; for ExP use ₹21,03,000; for DCP convert the AED component (see next bullet) and add to the INR component ₹10,03,000.
Convert AED items to INR at the bank rate you expect to pay on transfer and include VAT/GST and overseas wire charges — the DCP note explicitly states UAE VAT/GST and bank/overseas wire charges are additional and borne by the candidate.
Include refundable deposits separately in your cash-flow plan: DCP shows a hostel deposit of ₹15,000 plus AED 3,500 and a library deposit of AED 1,000.
Account for one-time non-tuition fees: admission fee ₹50,000 and lifetime alumni fee ₹8,000 for PGDM/DCP entries.
Plan for hostel occupancy: DCP hospitality differences between single and double occupancy are AED 35,200 vs AED 28,600 respectively — factor this into loan disbursement or personal savings.
Reserve ~2–3% of your budget for unexpected bank or currency conversion costs; these are explicitly additional in the DCP note.
Conversion example: if AED-to-INR rate is unavailable in primary sources, compute using your bank's live rate at payment. For a quick ROI context, compare the programme fee to placement averages available elsewhere when deciding financing; use the MBA ROI Calculator to model payback period with your expected post-MBA salary.
Important Points
IMT Ghaziabad fees should be budgeted with attention to statutory taxes, bank/overseas transfer charges, refundable deposits and the institute payment deadlines; these items change the final amount payable and some are charged in AED for the Dual Country Program (DCP).
VAT/GST: UAE VAT/GST may apply to the Dubai components of the DCP; candidates must bear any VAT/GST charged by UAE authorities (DCP fee PDF, undated).
Bank & overseas wire charges: Bank fees and overseas wire charges for AED/INR transfers are additional and payable by the candidate (DCP fee PDF, undated).
Refundable deposits: The standard refundable caution/hostel deposit for PGDM is ₹15,000; the DCP includes a hostel deposit of ₹15,000 plus an AED 3,500 library/hostel deposit component (DCP fee PDF; Shiksha updated expected October 2026).
One‑time non‑tuition charges: Admission fee of ₹50,000 and lifetime alumni fee of ₹8,000 apply to PGDM cohorts (Shiksha expected October 2026; DCP PDF).
Hostel occupancy: DCP hospitality charges differ by occupancy: double‑occupancy AED 28,600, single‑occupancy AED 35,200 (DCP fee PDF, undated). Choose occupancy early; it affects total AED payable.
Instalment schedule (what to watch): Standard PGDM tuition is split into two annual instalments (first year ₹12,27,000, second year ₹10,00,000 for many PGDM variants); DCP has multiple INR and AED instalments as listed in the DCP fee PDF.
Where to confirm final PDF: Download the official IMT Ghaziabad DCP fee PDF and the institute admissions/fees page when you receive an offer; the DCP PDF and Shiksha page were the verified sources used (Shiksha last updated 05 Oct 2026).
Practical interpretation: Add UAE VAT and bank/wire fees to any AED totals when converting to INR; treat refundable deposits as recoverable but plan for the upfront cash outflow. Use the instalment dates on your offer letter to meet the seat‑acceptance deadlines.
UPDATE: Shiksha fees page was last updated on expected October 2026; verify any institute PDF attached to your admission offer for the final payable amounts.
