Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology (DOMS) Courses & Fee Structure

Compare the three DoMS programmes first

The Department of Management Studies at IIT Roorkee lists three distinct routes: a regular MBA, an Executive MBA and a PhD in Management Studies. The official catalogue describes programme length and format, but the saved pages do not provide a usable 2027-28 fee schedule. The legacy fee totals attached to the college record have no clear year, components or payment basis, so they are not reliable current prices. Before comparing affordability, request the current programme-specific schedule and confirm which charges are included. DoMS programmes · Course information.

Regular MBA: duration, credits and specialisation

The department describes its MBA as a residential programme over two academic years. The course catalogue states eight terms and 76 credits. It lists dual specialisation across Finance, Marketing, Operations, Information Systems and Human Resource Management. These details help applicants understand the basic academic commitment, but the catalogue does not show that every elective is offered every term or that every pair of specialisations is available to each student. Check the current curriculum and timetable for the incoming cohort before treating a preferred combination as assured.

Eight terms across two academic years indicates a structured term-based programme. The 76-credit total is the programme figure stated by DoMS; it should not be confused with a weekly contact-hour count, a tuition amount or a count of electives. The catalogue does not provide a term-by-term credit distribution in the material captured here. Applicants who need to balance a specialisation with a particular elective should ask the department whether that course is scheduled for their year and what prerequisites or seat limits apply.

The MBA is described as residential. This identifies its academic format, not an all-inclusive living-cost quote or a promise of a particular hostel room. Candidates should check separately whether accommodation is available to their cohort, how allocation works, and which hostel and mess charges apply. Do not compare only tuition at one institution with tuition plus housing at another.

Executive MBA: a separate professional programme

DoMS describes the Executive MBA as a two-year degree that can be completed in up to five years and offers more than 55 electives. The extension period and elective count belong to this programme, not the regular MBA. The catalogue excerpt does not specify an exact class timetable, delivery mode, attendance requirement, experience threshold or which electives will run in a given year. Working professionals should confirm those details in the current Executive MBA notice before judging whether the programme fits around employment.

The page’s “more than 55 electives” figure describes the catalogue range. It does not mean every participant takes all of them, that all are offered concurrently, or that the student can freely assemble any combination. Ask how electives are selected, what minimum enrollment is required, whether classes are in person or online, and how the five-year completion window interacts with any course prerequisites. These questions affect both the time commitment and the total cost.

The department catalogue does not provide a current Executive MBA fee total in the saved evidence. Do not reuse the old ₹11 lakh entry from an unqualified profile as a current price. Request a dated fee schedule and ask whether it is billed by term or by year, what happens if study extends beyond two years, and whether examination, institute, technology, travel or other charges are additional. A programme duration alone is not enough to calculate the total bill.

PhD in Management Studies

The department lists doctoral study in Management Studies in full-time and part-time modes. It also notes that fellowship availability follows institute norms. That wording does not establish that every candidate receives a fellowship or specify its amount, duration or conditions. The programme catalogue captured here does not provide a current doctoral fee schedule, minimum residence requirement, coursework plan or dissertation timeline. Applicants should use the current doctoral advertisement and institute rules for those details.

Full-time and part-time modes have different time and work implications. A candidate should confirm whether the intended research area has an available supervisor, what coursework attendance is expected, how progress is reviewed, and whether employment permission is needed for part-time registration. These are practical questions for the current PhD call; they are not answered by the department’s brief mode listing. Do not transfer MBA fees, CAT requirements or duration to doctoral study.

What can be said about fees

A reliable current total for the MBA, Executive MBA or PhD could not be verified from the saved official pages. The department’s programme and course pages describe courses and formats, while its MBA admissions page describes the 2026 selection cycle rather than publishing a current fee table. The college database’s old totals cannot safely fill that gap because they do not identify an applicable academic year, payment basis or itemised components. The correct comparison is therefore a dated official estimate for each programme, not a guessed figure.

When you request a fee schedule, check the academic year and programme name on the document. Separate tuition from one-time deposits, institute charges, examination charges, library or technology fees, hostel rent and mess bills. Confirm whether costs are assessed per term, semester or academic year, whether they are refundable, and whether any fee changes during the stated programme duration. For the Executive MBA, ask whether the advertised total covers the normal two-year path only and what fees apply if completion takes longer. For the residential MBA, confirm whether housing is included or billed separately.

Also ask about payment deadlines and refund terms from the official notice. A prospectus headline total may exclude a refundable deposit or optional living expense; conversely, adding an estimated hostel charge without a current schedule can overstate the required payment. A like-for-like comparison should use the same duration, currency, charge categories and student housing assumptions for each institution. Until DoMS publishes or supplies a current schedule, keep the fee total unknown rather than interpreting an old database number as a quote.

Choosing the right programme

For a candidate seeking a residential management degree, the regular MBA’s two academic years, eight terms and 76 credits provide a concrete starting point. Compare its listed dual-specialisation areas with your academic interests, then verify the current course offering rather than assuming a preferred elective will be available. For a working professional, the Executive MBA’s up-to-five-year completion window may matter as much as its nominal two-year duration; confirm class timing, attendance and extension costs. A prospective researcher should evaluate the PhD call, research-area fit, supervisor capacity and fellowship terms separately.

The available official course information supports these structural distinctions, but it is not a complete prospectus for the next cohort. For 2027-28, the saved sources do not establish updated curricula, final elective availability, programme-specific fee components or any new waiver. Use the live DoMS programme page and the notice for the exact degree you plan to pursue. If a total is quoted by email or an agent, ask for the official dated schedule and written clarification of what it includes before using it in a budget.
