IBS Courses & Fee Structure

For IBS Hyderabad's published 2027–29 MBA cohort, the programme fee is ₹17.01 lakh for two years, stated as ₹8.505 lakh per year. This is not the full cost of attendance: the institution separately lists a refundable ₹10,000 caution deposit, a ₹4,000 convocation fee with the fifth instalment and additional living expenses. The BBA fee page gives a separate 2027 schedule for regular BBA and two technology-oriented BBA options. Keep those undergraduate charges distinct from the MBA total and confirm hostel, food and transport charges for the exact programme before budgeting.

MBA fee: 2027–29 Hyderabad cohort

The official fee page lists ₹17,01,000 as the two-year fee for the IBS Hyderabad MBA Program (2027–2029). It also states the annual rate as ₹8.505 lakh. The page says a refundable caution deposit of ₹10,000 is payable with the first fee instalment across campuses. For Hyderabad, a ₹4,000 convocation fee is due with the fifth instalment. Living expenses are extra. The published total therefore covers the stated programme fee; it should not be read as including accommodation, meals, travel or every incidental payment.

The amount is specific to IBS Hyderabad's MBA schedule, not a common fee for every IBS campus or every postgraduate programme. The fee page includes other IBS campus programmes and Executive MBA amounts in separate sections; those figures do not belong in a Hyderabad full-time MBA budget. Ask the admissions office for the current instalment dates and refund terms before paying, especially if an offer letter refers to a later batch.

BBA fee schedule: 2027 intake

The BBA page covers regular BBA, BBA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) and BBA (Cloud Computing and Cyber Security). For these options, the 2027–30 schedule lists eight semester fees of ₹1.40 lakh each, totalling ₹11.40 lakh in semester fees. A ₹20,000 admission fee is due on the interview day, and a ₹10,000 caution deposit is payable with the first semester fee. The institution says the caution deposit is refundable without interest after completion, subject to its conditions. These two separate payments are not included in the listed ₹11.40 lakh semester-fee total.

The fee page also lists BBA hostel accommodation at ₹45,000 per semester, a ₹30,000 mess deposit per semester and a ₹10,000 refundable hostel security deposit. City-to-campus transport is shown at ₹24,000 per semester. The page says hostel rooms are limited and that bus transport is available to day scholars on payment. These amounts are published alongside the 2027 BBA schedule, but room allocation and actual availability are not guaranteed by the fee table. Check whether the charge schedule still applies to the student's selected programme and term before including it in a personal estimate.

What the listed amounts do and do not add up to

For a BBA student using hostel accommodation for all eight semesters, the listed ₹45,000 room charge alone would total ₹3.60 lakh over four years; this is a simple multiplication of the published per-semester figure, not a guaranteed quote. The separately listed ₹30,000 mess deposit is also per semester and should not be treated as a one-time four-year meal cost. Transport is a separate optional line for day scholars. Because the page labels a mess deposit rather than a complete food tariff, it does not establish the student's total meal expense.

For MBA applicants, the ₹17.01 lakh tuition/programme amount is the most useful fixed figure on the current fee page. Housing and meals remain extra, and this page does not provide a current Hyderabad MBA hostel rate. Do not borrow the BBA hostel amount as an MBA estimate. Request an MBA-specific current accommodation and mess quotation, plus instalment and cancellation terms, before comparing total budgets with another institution.

Executive MBA schedule is for a cohort already in progress

The site also publishes an Executive MBA fee schedule showing ₹5.25 lakh in seven programme-fee instalments, a separate ₹75,000 admission fee and a refundable ₹10,000 caution deposit. Its associated schedule is for a cohort whose classes began on 23 August 2026, so it is historical for a new applicant checking this page in November 2026. Treat it as a record of that batch's published charges, not a current offer or fee guarantee. The page does not establish the next Executive MBA intake's total cost.

The PhD fee page carries an expired cycle

The displayed PhD fee schedule contains an admission deadline from 2024. Although it describes a ₹60,000 per-semester programme fee subject to financial assistance and minimum academic requirements, the displayed cycle is stale for a new 2026–27 or 2027 applicant. The same page includes fellowship terms; those should be read with the current doctoral offer and eligibility conditions, not treated as guaranteed cash or a universal fee waiver. Ask the doctoral office for the next cohort's written fee, waiver and stipend conditions.

Budget checklist

Before accepting an offer, ask for a current statement that separates programme tuition, refundable deposits, non-refundable charges, accommodation, meals, transport and any optional expenses. For BBA, check room availability and whether hostel charges apply for the full academic year or only occupied terms. For MBA, request the Hyderabad-specific hostel and mess schedule. For Executive MBA and PhD, obtain the next cohort's fee document because the public page still carries older dates. IBS says its Financial Aid Cell facilitates education-loan processing, but applicants should confirm loan eligibility and lender terms directly with the bank.
