Catalyst Institute of Management and Advance Global Excellence (CIMAGE) Courses & Fee Structure

CPC's published 2026-29 fee schedule

The official CPC fee page labels its schedule for students joining the 2026-29 session and describes all three programmes as full-time, three-year, six-semester degrees awarded by Aryabhatta Knowledge University (AKU). It gives a per-semester amount, repeats the academic-year amount for 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29, and states a numeric total course fee. The core schedule is: BBA ₹39,000 per semester or ₹78,000 per academic year, ₹2,34,000 over three years; BCA ₹48,000 per semester or ₹96,000 per academic year, ₹2,88,000 total; B.Com (Professional) ₹33,000 per semester or ₹66,000 per academic year, ₹1,98,000 total.

These are the amounts printed on CPC's official fee structure, not a fee guarantee for a different intake. The page also says fees may change without prior notice. Before accepting an offer, match the session on the fee notice with your admission letter and obtain a written payment schedule for your batch.

BBA: calculate the degree cost in layers

For the published 2026-29 BBA schedule, the base academic amount is ₹39,000 each semester. Six semesters at that rate equal ₹2,34,000, consistent with the numeric total printed on the fee page. The yearly schedule is ₹78,000 in each of the three listed years.

CPC separately lists a ₹10,000 admission charge payable once and a ₹1,000 internal examination fee per semester. If all six semester examination charges are collected at that rate, they add ₹6,000 across the course. The schedule does not clearly state whether the admission charge is already included in the displayed total course fee, so do not add it to ₹2,34,000 without confirming the payable statement. The page also lists a ₹30,000 BBA/BCA seat-booking amount described as adjustable against admission and non-refundable; it does not explain whether this is the same amount as, or is credited against, the ₹10,000 admission charge. Ask for a written ledger before payment rather than assuming a second or duplicate charge.

BCA: a higher semester rate and separate university bills

The 2026-29 BCA schedule lists ₹48,000 per semester and ₹96,000 per academic year. Multiplying ₹48,000 by six semesters gives ₹2,88,000, matching the numeric total on the page. CPC separately lists the one-time ₹10,000 admission charge and ₹1,000 per-semester internal examination fee. A six-semester estimate for the latter is ₹6,000 if the amount remains constant, but the page does not clearly state whether these components sit inside or outside the ₹2,88,000 total. Treat the estimate as a calculation from the printed rate, not a separately confirmed invoice total.

The listed ₹30,000 BBA/BCA seat-booking amount is stated as adjustable against admission and non-refundable. Ask how it is credited, the date by which the balance is due, and which payment amount is retained if you withdraw. This distinction matters because a booking amount can be due before the student sees the complete university and examination charges.

CPC says its institutional fee includes tuition, library, development fund, lab-use and miscellaneous institutional costs. It separately lists AKU registration and examination charges, corpus and sports funds, and any other charge payable directly to the university. The fee page does not provide a current amount for those university charges, so no all-in BCA total can be calculated from the institutional schedule alone.

B.Com (Professional): check the numeric row, not only its words

The CPC schedule lists B.Com (Professional) at ₹33,000 per semester, ₹66,000 per academic year and a numeric three-year total of ₹1,98,000. Those three figures agree arithmetically: six semesters at ₹33,000 equal ₹1,98,000. However, the same row spells its total in words as “Two lakh Eighty eight thousand,” which conflicts with the numeric figure and the semester/year arithmetic. Get a corrected, written fee confirmation before paying; this guide preserves the source discrepancy instead of silently treating the words as accurate.

The page also lists a one-time ₹10,000 admission charge, ₹1,000 per semester for internal examinations and a B.Com (Professional) seat-booking amount of ₹24,000, adjustable against admission and described as non-refundable. It does not clearly say whether the admission or examination amounts are already included in the ₹1,98,000 total or how the booking amount is credited. Ask CPC to itemize the course total, admission charge, internal examination fee and booking adjustment on one statement.

Charges outside the course total and questions to ask

The official fee page says the institutional schedule includes tuition, library, development fund, lab usage and miscellaneous institutional costs. It excludes AKU registration, university examination, corpus and sports funds, plus other amounts payable directly to the university. CPC also warns that industrial visits, tours, transport, boarding and lodging, events, club memberships, extra materials and similar optional or activity expenses may be charged separately. The page does not state an amount for university fees or a current estimate for these additional costs. Hostel or transport costs should not be inferred from the course-fee table.

Its refund terms say that, apart from a security deposit, fees are not refundable or transferable; the security deposit is described as refundable at the end of the course, but the amount and conditions are not displayed in the schedule. The page also says late fee payments may attract a daily fine and that students with pending fees will not be allowed to sit university examinations. Request the current written rules and exact dates before committing.

Before paying, ask CPC for a batch-specific schedule showing (1) the six semester amounts and their due dates, (2) whether the ₹10,000 admission charge and internal exam fees are inside or outside the published course total, (3) how the non-refundable seat-booking payment is adjusted, (4) the current AKU charges, (5) any security deposit and refund conditions, (6) late-payment rules, and (7) what happens if you withdraw or change programme. Keep the fee notice, admission offer and receipts together. The CPC fee page lists +91 98350 24444 and [email protected] for confirmation. This 2026-29 table should not be reused as a confirmed schedule for a later entry session.
