IIM Amritsar lists three full-time residential two-year MBA routes: the general MBA, MBA in Business Analytics (MBA-BA), and MBA in Human Resources (MBA-HR). The latest fee schedule reviewed here is dated 10 April 2026 and covers all three routes for the 2026–28 batch. It shows a ₹19.50 lakh programme fee and ₹21.50 lakh total payment including the listed caution and mess deposits. Those are 2026–28 figures, not a confirmed price for a 2027–29 entrant.
This is a curriculum-fit comparison, not a claim that applicants must already hold a degree in analytics or human resources. The official pages describe the skills and study plans, but the materials reviewed do not state a distinct prior coding qualification for MBA-BA or prior HR qualification for MBA-HR. Check the admission notice for the target batch before treating any past eligibility or selection rule as current.
Choose the general MBA if you want room to explore management functions before specializing through electives. Its first-year subjects include accounting, statistics, computing, marketing, economics, finance, operations, organizational behaviour and strategy. In the second year, the institute lists electives spanning finance, analytics, marketing, HR, strategy and other areas. This breadth is useful if your career direction is not yet narrow, but actual elective availability and choices should be checked with the institute; a catalogue is not a guarantee that every listed elective runs every term.
Choose MBA-BA if you want analytics to be central to your management study. The curriculum lists tools including Python, R, SPSS, Tableau and Excel, and topics such as data mining, visualization, predictive analytics, natural-language processing and machine learning. It also retains management subjects, so the course is not described as a purely technical degree. The published design requires a faculty-guided capstone in the second year. The institute’s curriculum explains intended learning; it does not promise a particular role, salary or placement outcome.
Choose MBA-HR if you want the HR function rather than general management electives to organize your learning. The published plan starts with HR-focused material such as talent acquisition, learning and development, performance management and labour relations, then lists advanced topics such as compensation, HR analytics, employee wellbeing and organizational change. A compulsory HR-related field project is part of the second year. The programme page describes the MBA-HR as a full-time, two-year residential programme.
IIM Amritsar’s signed notional fee structure, dated 10 April 2026, is headed for MBA Batch 2026–28 and names the MBA, MBA-BA and MBA-HR cohorts. Its fee rows are common across those listed programmes:
The distinction matters when budgeting: ₹19.50 lakh is the programme fee; ₹21.50 lakh is the schedule’s total payment after adding ₹50,000 caution and ₹1.50 lakh in mess deposits. The caution deposit is described as refundable after completion or withdrawal/termination, less any dues. Mess costs are adjusted against deposits, with excess deposit refunded at the end of the academic year. Actual mess spending may therefore differ from the deposit shown. The notice says programme fees and mess deposits are due before each term according to the fee-payment window. It also states that the ₹1 lakh admission-acceptance fee is adjusted against Term 1 and comprises ₹50,000 caution deposit, ₹25,000 Term-1 mess deposit and ₹25,000 towards Term-1 programme fee.
The institute’s fees and financial-aid page describes limited merit scholarships, including awards for top CGPA performers in each of the three programmes and a combined-list award across MBA, MBA-BA and MBA-HR. It says the scholarship equals the full tuition fee for the award year. It separately describes a need-based scholarship buffer equivalent to tuition, disbursed case by case after evaluating applications. These are possible aid routes, not a reduction that every admitted student can subtract from the published budget. Confirm eligibility, application procedure and award-year rules with the institute.
IIM Amritsar also says students may approach banks for education loans covering programme fees and other expenses; eligibility, interest rates and other conditions depend on the lender. Treat a loan as a separate financing decision, not a fee waiver. Ask the lender for the repayment schedule and total borrowing cost, and ask the institute what expenses sit outside the programme fee. The schedule identifies tuition, academic support, hostel, activities and health, but it does not establish every personal or incidental expense a student may incur.
As of 4 November 2026, the official admission pages reviewed present CAT 2025 policies for the 2026–28 batch. They say criteria and weights are set annually and expressly caution that no inference should be made about future admission cycles. The 2026–28 fee PDF includes academic year 2027–28 as the second year of that batch; this does not make it the fee schedule for a new 2027–29 entrant. I found no official 2027–29 admission policy or fee schedule in the pages reviewed. Treat the three programme pages and 2026–28 schedule as planning references only, then recheck the route-specific admission, fees and financial-aid pages when the next batch documents are posted.
For a practical shortlist, compare the curriculum fit first, then calculate your cash requirement using the exact batch schedule. If you want general management flexibility, begin with MBA; if you want analytics methods plus management, compare MBA-BA; if you want HR practice and an HR field project, compare MBA-HR. Before accepting an offer, confirm the correct batch’s fee document, term deadlines, refund rules and the route-specific admission notice directly on IIM Amritsar’s official site.
