Payment, refund and cancellation policy
Mahindra University MBA fees follow a four-instalment tuition schedule with separate mandatory hostel and caution-deposit payments; refunds and cancellations are governed by the UGC refund slabs referenced by the university.
The published instalment schedule for the MBA tuition is: ₹4,50,000 per instalment paid on admission and then on 30 Nov 2027, 30 Jun 2028 and 30 Nov 2028 respectively. A one-time refundable caution deposit of ₹20,000 must be paid at admission; an additional one-time non-refundable alumni membership deduction of ₹10,000 will be taken from the caution deposit at graduation. Hostel fees are charged annually at ₹2,10,000 p.a. and are subject to revision.
Mahindra University cites the UGC refund policy for withdrawal and cancellation. The university reproduces the UGC-style slab that determines the percentage of refund based on the time of withdrawal relative to the formally notified last date of admission.
Below is the UGC refund table published by the university; the table shows the point of withdrawal and the refund percentage the student is eligible for.
| Point of withdrawal | Refund % (per UGC table) |
|---|---|
| 15 days or more before the formally-notified last date of admission | 100% |
| Less than 15 days before the formally-notified last date of admission | 90% |
| 15 days or less after the formally-notified last date of admission | 80% |
| 30 days or less after the formally-notified last date of admission | 50% |
| More than 30 days after the formally-notified last date of admission | 0% |
Practical interpretation: tuition and hostel instalments already paid are refundable according to the above slab. The ₹20,000 caution deposit is refundable after graduation subject to deductions; the ₹10,000 alumni fee is non-refundable and will be deducted from that deposit.
Refund percentages and deadlines follow the university's statement that refunds are provided as per UGC guidelines; check the admission offer for the formally-notified last date used for the slab.
Scholarships, fee waivers and financial aid
Mahindra University MBA fees applicants have access to scholarship rounds and need/merit-based financial aid; the university states that deserving candidates are eligible for financial aid and scholarships during a dedicated admission phase. Applicants should apply in the scholarship round and complete the financial aid section of the online application.
The university’s published pages and brochure indicate scholarship and financial-aid provisions but do not list fixed amounts for most scholarships. Below is a table summarising what Mahindra University discloses publicly.
| Scholarship type | Eligibility | Benefit/amount (if published) |
|---|---|---|
| Merit / Chancellor’s Scholarships | Admission during scholarship round; merit and/or need-cum-merit considered | |
| Need-based financial aid | Deserving candidates as assessed by university committee; parents/self-income proof required in application | |
| Admission-time scholarships | Applicants who apply in the scholarship phase (deadline noted in admissions calendar) |
Mahindra University’s MBA pages and blog (updated 28 Oct 2024 and programme pages updated expected September 2026) confirm the existence of scholarship rounds and a requirement to apply via the online form; none of those primary pages publish fixed scholarship amounts. The admissions brochure references financial aid and a scholarship round but provides no line-by-line award table.
Practical interpretation: apply before the scholarship-round deadline and complete income documentation if you seek need-based aid. Merit awards are decided on application + test scores + interview; the university explicitly asks applicants to complete the scholarship section of the application and upload income proof where relevant.
deadline: Scholarship-round application deadline: 30 Nov 2026 (published on programme pages and admission notices).
For the university’s full published conditions and the scholarship application form, see the programme scholarship details on the School of Management admissions page.
Education loans: partners and documents
Mahindra University lists institutional loan partners and offers collateral-free loan options for eligible MBA students; standard bank documentation is required for sanction. Below is a concise table of lenders and notes drawn from the university’s published admissions and financing information (2026 updates).

|---|---|---|
| HDFC Credila Financial Services Limited | Named contact: Rajesh Modem; university lists as partner for collateral-free educational loans. | Collateral-free (subject to bank terms) |

| Tata Capital | Named contact: Rama Kondisetty; presented as a partner for financing. | May require collateral per bank policy |
| IDFC First Bank | Named contact: Golla Yakanna; listed among partner institutions. | May require collateral per bank policy |
The university page (MBA programme, updated 28 Sep 2026) explicitly states that collateral-free educational loans are available to eligible students and provides bank contacts for assistance.

Hostel details and typical costs
Mahindra University MBA fees include a mandatory residential requirement; students must stay in the university hostel for the duration of the two-year MBA. The university's official fee page lists a Hostel charges component of ₹2,10,000 p.a. for Indian students and notes the hostel fee is charged per year and is subject to revision.
Below is the hostel cost breakdown published by Mahindra University (2026–27 admission information).
| Hostel component | Per year charge | Included items |
|---|---|---|
| Hostel fee (including food) | ₹2,10,000 | Room + mess/food (as stated), basic hostel services |
| Caution deposit (refundable) | ₹20,000 (one-time) | Refundable security deposit; ₹10,000 alumni membership deducted at graduation |
Practical interpretation: the university page explicitly states the Hostel Fee – 1st Year and Hostel Fee – 2nd Year each at ₹2,10,000, and that the amount is inclusive of food for the academic year. A one-time caution deposit of ₹20,000 is payable before classes and refundable at degree completion after permissible deductions; the site also notes a non-refundable alumni membership of ₹10,000 will be deducted from that deposit at graduation.
Optional extra costs students commonly face but not listed under the hostel charge on the official page include personal laundry, study materials such as books and laptops, incidental travel during the international immersion (food and incidental expenses are explicitly to be borne by students), and discretionary room upgrades; the university page specifically says food and incidental expenses during international immersion are to be borne by students.
Loan and financial-aid notes related to living costs are available through listed partners (HDFC Credila, ICICI, Tata Capital, IDFC First Bank); the university notes collateral-free loans may be available to eligible students and provides contact names on its admissions page.
How fees compare with similar private MBA programs in Hyderabad
Mahindra University MBA fees place the programme in the mid-to-upper range among Hyderabad private MBA options. The table below uses verified figures from public sources for the latest reporting period.
| College | Total tuition fee (2 years) | Total fee incl. hostel (if available) | Avg package (reported) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mahindra University MBA Hyderabad | ₹18,00,000 | ₹22,50,000 | ₹11.25 LPA |
| Woxsen School of Business Hyderabad | ₹25,00,000 | ₹14-16 LPA | |
| IMT Hyderabad | ₹23,50,000 | ₹8.7-9.2 LPA | |
| Institute of Management Technology Hyderabad | ₹22,00,000 | ₹8.5-12.0 LPA |
Interpretation: Mahindra University’s ₹18 lakh tuition and ₹22.5 lakh total (including hostel) are lower than higher-fee private options like Woxsen and IMT Hyderabad but above lower-fee local programmes in the city listed elsewhere in the dataset. Reported average packages show Mahindra University delivering a competitive reported average of ₹11.25 LPA, while Woxsen and IMT report higher top-line averages.
For CAT-minded aspirants, this comparison shows where Mahindra University sits on cost vs reported outcomes among Hyderabad private MBA programmes: mid-range fee, residential campus included in the total, and placement averages in the low double digits. Use this table to weigh tuition cost against campus requirements (hostel mandatory at Mahindra) and reported placement figures when comparing options.
Practical pointers for payment planning
Mahindra University MBA fees planning should start with a simple budget and clear deadlines. The programme's published fee schedule shows a ₹18,00,000 tuition total and four equal tuition instalments of ₹4,50,000 with payment dates listed on the admissions page (first instalment as per admission offer, next due expected November 2027, third expected June 2028, fourth expected November 2028). Hostels are charged at ₹2,10,000 p.a. and a refundable caution deposit of ₹20,000.
- Create a semester-wise cashflow plan. Map tuition instalments and hostel payments into your monthly household budget so you can show predictable outflows to lenders or family sponsors.
- Seek loan pre-approval early. Mahindra University lists banking partners including HDFC Credila, ICICI, Tata Capital and IDFC First Bank; use their pre-approval or eligibility checks to confirm collateral-free loan limits and interest estimates before accepting a seat.
- Time your scholarship application. Apply in the university's scholarship round, which the admissions pages state ends on expected November 2026 for the 2027 intake; complete income and academic documents in the application to avoid delays.
- Pay the admission acceptance amount from liquid funds. The first tuition instalment is due on the offer; paying it from savings or an approved loan disbursement avoids seat cancellation and gives time for subsequent loan processing.
- Reserve contingency funds for international immersion. The programme fee includes international immersion costs up to ₹5,00,000 (travel and accommodation); students are expected to cover food and incidental expenses.
- Track refundable items. Keep records for the refundable caution deposit (₹20,000) and one-time alumni membership deduction (₹10,000) to claim refunds at graduation.
- Confirm payment modes and receipts. Use bank transfers or official payment portals and retain receipts; Mahindra University notes UGC refund rules apply for cancellations.
ACTION: Complete loan pre-approvals and scholarship application before paying the first instalment to preserve refund and financing options.
