IIM Sambalpur Courses & Fee Structure

IIM Sambalpur fees: compare the programme, year and payment head

IIM Sambalpur’s official fee schedules for the 2026–28 batch separate course fees from other charges, mess deposits and the refundable caution deposit. They also publish separate tables for the two-year MBA and MBA in Business Analytics (MBA-BA). The totals below are therefore best read with the programme, year and payment head beside them; they are historical schedule values, not confirmed fees for a later intake. The admissions portal currently lists MBA and MBA-BA schedules separately, and says admissions for those programmes are closed.

MBA: the Indian-student schedule

For Indian students, the official MBA table shows a grand total of ₹10,64,000 for PGP I, 2026–27. That amount comprises ₹9,25,000 in course fees, ₹50,000 in other fees, a ₹69,000 mess deposit and a ₹20,000 refundable caution deposit. The schedule breaks the PGP I payment into ₹4,18,000 for Term I, ₹3,23,000 for Term II and ₹3,23,000 for Term III. The term amounts reflect when charges are collected; they do not mean tuition is assessed at the same amount in every term.

For PGP II, 2027–28, the same schedule lists ₹10,49,000: ₹9,25,000 course fees, ₹55,000 other fees and ₹69,000 mess deposit. It shows no additional caution deposit in the second year. The term totals are ₹4,03,000 for Term IV, followed by ₹3,23,000 each for Terms V and VI. Combining the two published PGP totals gives ₹21,13,000 across the two years. That combined amount includes the refundable caution deposit and mess deposits; the document says the mess deposit can vary with the service provider’s charges and the caution deposit is returned after adjustment of dues.

The offer-acceptance amount is ₹50,000 and the schedule says it is adjusted against the Term I course fee. It is therefore part of the payment flow, not an extra ₹50,000 to add on top of the displayed grand total. Applicants should check the offer letter and current portal instructions for the due date, payment method and refund conditions.

MBA-BA: a separate fee table and teaching location

The MBA-BA schedule gives a different course-fee structure. For 2026–27 it lists ₹8,00,000 in course fees, ₹50,000 in other charges and a ₹20,000 refundable caution deposit, for a total of ₹8,70,000. The payment schedule shows ₹3,70,000 in Term I, then ₹2,50,000 in each of Terms II and III. For 2027–28, its table explicitly names the IIM Sambalpur Delhi Centre and lists ₹8,00,000 course fees plus ₹55,000 other charges, for a total of ₹8,55,000; the first term is ₹3,55,000, followed by ₹2,50,000 each in Terms V and VI. Across the two Indian schedule years, those displayed totals add to ₹17,25,000, including the ₹20,000 refundable caution deposit in the first year.

The MBA-BA sheet also contains a separate optional dual-degree table for students who opt to pursue the dual degree at Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand. It quotes a total of THB 413,100, including tuition and registration, language support, medical, student-union and education-visa fees. This is denominated in Thai baht and should not be silently converted into the Indian-rupee schedule. It is an additional route-specific amount, not a substitute for the Indian MBA-BA fees. The exact eligibility, transfer conditions, included expenses and applicable exchange rate should be checked in the current dual-degree documents before planning this route.

The programme’s current page describes MBA-BA as a two-year programme with a Delhi Centre location for the first two years and an optional AIT Thailand year-two arrangement. That is why its fee sheet identifies the Delhi Centre in the second-year heading and separately prices the optional AIT route. Applicants comparing MBA and MBA-BA should compare the complete programme arrangement, not just the rupee total. MBA-BA programme information

What is included, and what should not be added twice

“Course Fee” is the academic course-fee line in the schedules. “Other Fees” includes career-development, student activity and alumni charges as named in the MBA table; the MBA-BA table names career-development services, student activity council charges and alumni charges. Both tables show mess deposits separately. The MBA schedule states that the mess deposit may vary depending on the service provider’s charges. The ₹20,000 caution deposit is marked refundable at the end of the programme after adjusting any dues. It should not be described as tuition or as a guaranteed full refund regardless of outstanding charges.

The published schedule does not give a single universally applicable “all-in living cost.” It does not quantify every personal expense, travel cost, books, laptop, optional exchange cost or future price change. For an applicant’s budget, use the programme-specific grand total as the scheduled payment baseline, then keep refundable and variable components visible. For MBA-BA’s optional international dual-degree arrangement, account separately for the THB 413,100 figure and verify which expenses fall outside it.

How to use these figures for a future application

The portal’s visible schedule is for the MBA and MBA-BA 2026–28 batch, and the portal currently states that admissions for those programmes are closed. A 2027 applicant should wait for the fee schedule attached to the relevant new policy or offer. Do not assume that the MBA’s ₹21.13 lakh two-year displayed total, MBA-BA’s ₹17.25 lakh Indian-schedule sum, current term splits or Thai-baht charges will remain unchanged. The date and batch heading on each document control which applicants it describes.

Before paying, verify four details against the latest official notice: programme and campus, academic year or batch, payment head and due date. Then check whether an offer-acceptance amount is adjusted against a listed term, whether a deposit is refundable, and whether a cost is quoted in INR or another currency. For a current application, use the institute’s admissions portal and the latest programme page rather than relying on an older fee summary.
