|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rs. 10,95,000 | Rs. 50,000 | Rs. 3,45,000 | Rs. 3,50,000 | Rs. 3,50,000 | ||
Rs. 6,95,000 | Rs. 50,000 | Rs. 1,95,000 | Rs. 1,50,000 | Rs. 1,50,000 | Rs. 1,50,000 | |

The table follows ISME’s official breakdowns: PGDM instalments are dated as June and January on the published page; BBA, B.Com and BCA instalment amounts and due-order mirror the site instalment entries. The PhD/FPM total shown is the official total tuition on recent listings; instalment schedule is not provided on the ISME fees page.
UPDATE: ISME official fees page was last updated on 01 Oct 2026; those figures are the published 2027 tuition totals and instalment amounts used here.
Hostel and mess charges (annual and per term)
ISME Bangalore hostel and mess charges are published for 2026–2027 on the institute fee page and apply to the 2027 intake. The annual shared hostel fee for students listed is Rs. 1,65,000/- for an 11.5 months cycle; the package includes room, three meals a day and utilities.
Below table lists the standard offering and per‑term equivalents (ISME divides UG/PG academic years into roughly two terms per year; instalment dates on the fees page indicate mid‑year and year‑end payments). Use the per‑term column to plan living costs against academic instalments.
Type | Amount (INR) | Duration | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
Shared hostel + mess (standard) | Rs. 1,65,000/- | 11.5 months | Shared accommodation; breakfast, lunch, evening tea and dinner; laundry; water & electricity; access to sports arena; annual health insurance up to Rs. 50,000 |
Per‑term equivalents: dividing the annual fee by two gives a practical per‑term planning number of Rs. 82,500/-. If you budget monthly, that equals roughly Rs. 14,348/- per month over 11.5 months. The hostel fee is shown consistently across ISME programme pages updated in 2026 and on third‑party aggregators in Sep–Oct 2026.
Students should factor the refundable security deposit: Rs. 15,000/- (one‑time) shown on ISME tuition pages under program charges; this is refundable after program completion and handled separately from annual hostel billing.
The published hostel fee of Rs. 1,65,000/- includes meals and basic utilities; additional personal expenses, travel and optional private accommodation are borne by the student.
Other mandatory charges and annual recurring costs
ISME Bangalore fees include several mandatory non-tuition charges: books and digital resources, Bangalore University / administrative fees, a one-time refundable security deposit, and recurring campus charges such as ID, cultural and sports fees. The official ISME fee page lists exact amounts and payment timing for each course batch.
Below is a table of charges that ISME publishes for 2026–2029 batches; all amounts are taken from the institute's fee pages updated 01 Oct 2026.
Charge | Amount (per year or one-time) | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
Books & Digital Resources | Rs. 10,000/- per year | All UG programmes (BBA, BCom, BCA) and cited on PGDM pages as Rs. 10,000–15,000 depending on programme |
Bangalore University & Administrative Expenses | Indian nationals: Rs. 10,000/- (approx.) per year | Programs awarded through Bangalore University / where applicable; listed on UG programme pages |
Refundable Security Deposit | Rs. 15,000/- (one-time) | All programmes listed (refundable at completion) |
Exam / ID / Cultural / Sports & Administrative fees | Included within the Books & Administrative charges noted above | Charged annually as part of books & admin component on the ISME fee pages |
Interpretation: a typical Indian UG student will add Rs. 10,000 per year for books and Rs. 10,000 per year as Bangalore University/administrative charges, plus a one-time refundable deposit of Rs. 15,000. For NRIs, the University/admin line shows Rs. 20,000 per year. These figures are taken from ISME's published fee pages (last updated 01 Oct 2026).

Scholarships in 2027 and how they affect instalments
Scholarships at ISME reduce the payable tuition by a fixed amount and are credited against later instalments, not the initial non-refundable registration fee. ISME’s published 2026–2029 fee pages (updated 2026-10-01) list the scholarship types and amounts for UG programmes; the same policy is applied to 2027 award cycles on the official page.
Below table lists scholarships that ISME publishes for BBA, BCom and BCA programmes and how they are applied to instalments.
Scholarship | Amount | Eligibility | Applied to instalments |
|---|---|---|---|
Merit-based (Outstanding students) | Rs. 1,00,000 or Rs. 50,000 or Rs. 25,000 | 10th & 12th marks: 90%/CGPA >9.5 or 85%/CGPA >9 or 80%/CGPA >8.5 | Distributed equally between 3rd and 4th instalment |
Defence Scholarship | Rs. 25,000 | Parents serving/retired defence; specified class X/XII score thresholds (programme-specific: typically 75–80% or equivalent) | Credited across 3rd and 4th instalment |
Sibling Scholarship | Rs. 25,000 | Sibling of current ISME student or ISME alumnus | Credited across 3rd and 4th instalment |
SC/ST Scholarship | Rs. 25,000 (UG; amounts vary by programme) | Valid government-issued SC/ST certificate | Credited across 3rd and 4th instalment |
Hostel scholarship (Bangalore city students) | Rs. 20,000–25,000 per year | Parent working and residing in Bangalore (proof required) | Deducted from hostel fee (annual) or shown as reduction in 3rd/4th instalment |
ISME’s pages state explicitly that only one scholarship (A to E) whichever is higher will be applied after verification; awards are distributed between the 3rd and 4th instalments for UG BBA/BCom/BCA and similarly for other programmes where the scholarship table appears. Defence, sibling and SC/ST scholarships are fixed amounts and reduce the later instalments rather than the registration fee.
Practical interpretation: when you receive an offer letter, plan to pay the Rs. 50,000 registration at admission; expect any verified scholarship to lower amounts due at the third and fourth instalments, not the initial payment. For postgraduate scholarships the institute publishes similar categories on the official fees page; check the admissions office contact if your award needs to be adjusted across PGDM instalments.
Payment schedule, instalment deadlines and notes
ISME Bangalore fees instalments follow the published schedules on the official ISME fees page (page updated 2026-10-01). The institute requires a non-refundable Registration Fee: Rs. 50,000/- at admission; subsequent tuition instalments and other recurring charges are described per programme below.
The table lists instalment dates and amounts that are explicitly published for the 2026–2029 batches on ISME's site; these same deadlines are shown for 2027 intake where available.
Installment | Due date | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Registration (one-time) | At the time of admission | Rs. 50,000/- | Non-refundable; published on ISME fees page (updated 2026-10-01). |
First instalment | By 15th July 2026 | Varies by programme (examples: BBA Rs.1,95,000/-; BCom/BCom-ACCA Rs.1,75,000/-; BCA Rs.1,30,000/-) | Programme-level first instalment figures published on ISME fees page for Batch 2026–2029. |
Second instalment | By 15th Jan 2027 or 1st Jan 2025 where specified historically | Programme-specific (examples: BBA Rs.1,50,000/-; BCom Rs.1,40,000/-; BCA Rs.1,15,000/-) | Dates and amounts are taken from ISME published fee tables (updated 2026-10-01); follow the date printed on your admission letter. |
Third instalment | By 1st June 2027 | Programme-specific (examples: BBA Rs.1,50,000/-; BCom Rs.1,40,000/-; BCA Rs.1,00,000/-) | Also covers annual Books & Digital Resource charge of Rs.10,000/- per year paid separately as published. |
Fourth instalment | By 1st June 2028 | Programme-specific (remaining balance to complete published total tuition) | Scholarship awards (if any) are distributed equally between third and fourth instalments for UG programmes; see scholarship table on ISME page. |
Late payment or failure to clear a semester has explicit financial consequences. ISME publishes a repeat-semester charge of Rs.50,000/- per semester for Indian-rupee programmes (and 600 USD or 600 USD per semester for some foreign-currency listings) for students who do not clear a semester; this is listed on the official fees page (updated 2026-10-01).
Scholarship reductions are applied after verification and reflected in instalment amounts: ISME specifies that only one scholarship applies and that merit/other scholarships are split equally between the 3rd and 4th instalments for BBA/BCom; PGDM scholarship terms are on the ISME page. For loan support, ISME lists partner banks including State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank on the same fees page.
deadline: First instalment due by 15th July as printed in ISME admission communication; check your offer letter for the applicable year.
Exchange and international study costs (optional)
ISME Bangalore covers the tuition cost for its Singapore study program and for the Germany exchange; travel and living expenses for both programmes are borne by the student.
Below table summarises what is included and what students must pay for each optional international opportunity, using ISME's official 2026–2027 fee page (updated 01 Oct 2026).
Program | Tuition covered? | Student bears | Eligibility / selection |
|---|---|---|---|
BBA / BCom / BCA Singapore International Business Certification (included in UG programmes) | Yes (included in programme fee) | Airfare, accommodation & personal expenses not listed as included | Part of course package; available to UG cohorts (batch details on ISME fees page) |
PGDM International Study Program, Singapore | Yes (airfare, accommodation & certification workshops listed as included) | Any additional personal expenses beyond stated inclusions | Included for PGDM students; described on ISME fees page for Batch 2026–2028 |
Six-month Germany exchange (THWS, selection on merit) | Tuition Fee – Free | Travel and stay (student bears) | Top applicants selected on merit after completion of 6th semester |
ISME's official pages state the Singapore study trip is part of the programme inclusions for the listed UG and PG courses (Singapore package explicitly lists airfare and accommodation), while the Germany exchange is tuition‑free but requires students to fund travel and living costs; the Germany exchange selection is merit‑based after the sixth semester.
Costs for optional certifications such as ACCA exam subscriptions are listed separately on the fees page and must be paid by students where applicable (ISME lists ACCA subscription/exam fees as payable directly by students).
Practical note: when budgeting, add the hostel/mess annual charge and a conservative travel and living buffer; ISME's pages specify which items are covered and which are student liabilities.
Fee refunds, security deposit and repeat semester charges
ISME Bangalore fees policies include a one‑time refundable security deposit and specified charges for repeat semesters; refunds follow UGC refund timelines where applicable. The main figures are published on ISME's fee pages updated 01 Oct 2026 and earlier pages for UG/BCom batches.
Use the table below for the formal policy items and amounts as stated by ISME.
Policy item | Amount | When applies |
|---|---|---|
Refundable Security Deposit (one‑time) | Rs.15,000/- | Paid at admission; refunded after programme completion subject to deductions for fines/hostel expenses. |
Repeat semester charge (Indian students) | Rs.50,000/- per semester | Charged when a student repeats a semester for failing to clear it. |
Repeat semester charge (Foreign/NRI fee currency) | 600 USD per semester | Applied for programmes listed with USD fee schedules (published for Batch 2026–2029). |
ISME's fee pages specify the Rs.15,000 refundable deposit across UG programmes and the repeat semester penalty — Rs.50,000 or 600 USD depending on the fee schedule shown for the batch. The deposit is described as covering emergency medical expenses and fines, with the balance refunded after programme completion.
Practical interpretation: the refundable deposit is separate from tuition and annual administrative costs; budget for it on admission. A repeat semester will add a material cost equal to a large instalment—plan academics and remediation to avoid the extra Rs.50,000 (or 600 USD) per failed semester.
update: ISME's fees page was updated on 01 Oct 2026; figures above reproduce that published schedule.
For admissions contact and payment queries, refer to ISME Bangalore admissions office contacts listed on the official page.
Estimated total cost examples: Indian student & NRI student
Two worked examples show typical year‑wise cash outflows for an Indian residential student and an NRI student enrolling in 2027. Figures use ISME published instalments, hostel and recurring charges (ISME fees page updated 2026-10-01).
Table shows annual cash flow by academic year (tuition instalments, hostel & mess, books & administrative fees). Tuition instalments follow ISME published schedules for UG/PG programmes; hostel and books are annual amounts from the official page.
Year | Tuition paid | Hostel & mess | Books & admin | Year total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Year 1 (Admission) | Rs. 50,000 (reg) + Rs. 1,95,000 | Rs. 1,65,000 | Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 10,000 (BU/admin approx.) | Rs. 3,20,000 |
Year 2 (Academic) | Rs. 1,50,000 | (hostel continues if paid annually) | Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 1,70,000 |
Year 3 (if UG 3rd year / PG second year) | Rs. 1,50,000 / Rs. 3,45,000* | Rs. 1,65,000 (UG final year optional) | Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 1,70,000 / Rs. 5,65,000* |
*PGDM tuition instalments use the published pattern where larger instalments are paid (PGDM full tuition Rs. 10,95,000 with instalments shown on the ISME page updated 2026-10-01).
Practical interpretation: an Indian student on a 3‑year BBA/BCom path will typically pay about Rs. 3.8–4.0 lakh in the first year (including hostel), then roughly Rs. 1.7 lakh in subsequent academic years (tuition + recurring fees). An NRI student pays higher Bangalore University/admin charges (listed as Rs. 20,000 per year on the ISME page) increasing the annual books & admin column by Rs. 10,000 per year.
Educational loan support and common bank partners
ISME Bangalore fees students can apply for educational loans; the institute lists partner banks that commonly approve loans and provides application support. The campus mentions a set of national public-sector banks and one named fintech partner as institutions where students have received approvals.
Below is a concise table of the banks ISME cites and the type of support reported on the ISME fees page (publication updated 2026-10-01).
Bank | Typical support mentioned |
|---|---|
State Bank of India | Application support, loan guidance |
Punjab National Bank | Application support, loan guidance |
Canara Bank | Application support, loan guidance |
Andhra Bank | Application support, loan guidance |
Central Bank of India | Application support, loan guidance |
Union Bank of India | Application support, loan guidance |
Jodo | Loan facilitation platform listed |
Practical pointers: apply for a loan immediately after receiving the admission offer and the Rs. 50,000 registration invoice, because ISME requires the registration fee to confirm a seat. Carry completed offer letter, fee invoice, passport-size photo, ID proof, academic transcripts and parents' income proofs; ISME states it will assist the student application process (source updated 2026-10-01).
Timeframe: start bank discussions 2–4 weeks before the first instalment deadline to allow sanction and disbursement.
Disbursement: banks typically require the college fee schedule and may disburse directly to ISME; request bank confirmation on direct payment to the institution.
Use government portals mentioned by ISME—PM-Vidyalaxmi and student credit card schemes listed for Bihar and West Bengal—if eligible for state schemes.
action: Begin the loan application once you accept the admission and have the registration fee invoice to meet instalment deadlines.

How to verify fees, pay and contact admissions
ISME Bangalore fees can be confirmed on the institutes official fee page; the page shows programme-wise tuition, instalment dates, refundable deposit and hostel/mess charges and was updated 01 Oct 2026. For a final payable amount, always check the line-item instalment on the official fee page and your admission offer letter before transferring funds.
Steps to confirm instalment amounts and complete payment:
Open the official ISME fee page and locate your programme entry (PGDM, BBA, BCom, BCA or PhD) to read the tuition and instalment breakdown; the fees page lists instalment amounts and deadlines for the Batch 2026–2029.
Compare the instalment figures on the fee page with the amounts stated in your admission offer and invoice; scholarships (merit/defence/sibling/SC-ST/hostel-city) are applied and split across later instalments as shown on the official page.
Confirm any Bangalore University or administrative charges, books & digital resources and the one-time Rs.15,000 refundable security deposit listed on the official fees page, and whether you are charged the higher NRI administrative fee where applicable.
For hostel allocation, verify the annual hostel & mess fee (official page lists Rs.1,65,000 for 11½ months for relevant batches) and the timing of hostel fees on your invoice.
Make the payment using the mode specified on your admission invoice or ISME admissions instructions (bank transfer/online payment gateway); preserve payment receipts and payment reference numbers.
If using an education loan, request the ISME educational-loan support letter (ISME names banks such as SBI, PNB, Canara Bank on its fees page) and share the official fee breakup with the bank.
Contact emails for fee and admission queries are provided by ISME on public pages: info@isme.in for general queries and admissions@isme.in for admission-specific queries; the ISME contact block on third-party listings matches these addresses and the official site.
caution: Use the exact instalment amount shown on your admission invoice and the official fee page (last updated 01 Oct 2026)—do not rely on secondary summaries when making payments.
