Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Courses & Fee Structure

What the published fee pages establish

IIM Kashipur’s captured General MBA and MBA (Analytics) admission pages each display a fee schedule titled for the 2026-28 batch. Both tables show a grand total of ₹20.80 lakh across the two-year programme. This is a historical batch-specific figure, not a confirmed price for the 2027 intake. The pages reviewed on 4 November 2026 do not provide a 2027-29 fee schedule, so applicants should treat the total below as a reference for comparison and wait for the institute’s next batch notice before making a current budget.

The amount is made up of three displayed components: ₹20.46 lakh course fee, ₹25,000 admission fee and ₹9,000 caution deposit. They add to ₹20.80 lakh. The table labels the caution deposit separately; the page does not establish here whether or when it is refunded, so do not subtract it from the upfront budget on that assumption. The identical totals on the two programme pages also do not prove that their next-cycle fees will remain identical.

For the 2026-28 schedule, the first-year total is ₹11.20 lakh and the second-year total is ₹9.60 lakh. The term totals are ₹3.70 lakh for Term I, ₹3.75 lakh each for Terms II and III, then ₹3.20 lakh for each of Terms IV, V and VI. This pattern matters for cash flow: the first-year amount is ₹1.60 lakh higher than the second-year amount. It is not a per-term tuition-only comparison, because the first-year total also includes the admission fee and caution deposit shown in the table.

Payment timing in the 2026-28 table

The General MBA page lists due dates for Terms II through VI: 25 September 2026, 27 December 2026, 25 June 2027, 1 October 2027 and 4 January 2028. The Analytics fee page shows the same dates. The first-term due-date cell is blank in the displayed table, so this page does not infer a date for it. These dates belong to the 2026-28 schedule and have no force for a later admission cycle.

When a new fee notice appears, compare its total and instalment calendar rather than carrying forward the older dates. Check whether the new table still separates course fees, admission charges and deposits; whether a deposit has a stated refund rule; and which payments are due before registration or term start. For a personal estimate, budget against the actual institute invoice and any separate living expenses disclosed for the relevant batch. The fee tables cited here do not provide a complete cost of attendance that includes every personal or travel expense.

How the two-year programmes are organised

IIM Kashipur describes both the General MBA and MBA (Analytics) as full-time, two-year residential programmes. The General MBA curriculum is arranged across six terms, three in each year, with each term lasting around eleven weeks. Its curriculum page says the first three terms cover core courses, followed by a summer internship; the second year offers electives and self-study courses. The institute’s core curriculum page reports 21 credits of core courses over two years and defines one credit as 100 study hours, including 30 classroom hours. That is a workload convention, not 100 hours of classroom teaching for every credit.

The Analytics structure has its own sequence. The first year consists of three terms of mandatory core courses. After that coursework, the institute specifies an 8-10 week summer internship. The second year covers Terms IV, V and VI and combines mandatory analytics courses, electives and a dissertation component across the year. Its listed core examples include Data Science and Machine Learning, Social Media and Web Analytics, Natural Language Processing and Advanced Data Analysis. These examples help distinguish the programme’s subject emphasis; they are not a complete or guaranteed course list for a future cohort.

The practical choice is not simply between two fee rows. Applicants should weigh the general management core and second-year elective flexibility against the Analytics programme’s required quantitative and dissertation work. The source pages establish programme structure, but they do not provide individual elective availability, section sizes or a guarantee that every listed course will run in every term. Confirm the applicable curriculum with the institute before treating a particular elective as assured.

Scholarships and a sensible budget check

Both admission pages describe institute-sponsored tuition waivers under need-based, merit-based and need-cum-merit categories. The General MBA page says 10% of MBA participants receive a full yearly tuition waiver. The Analytics page describes a full yearly tuition waiver for 10% of both its first-year and second-year batches. These are programme-page statements about the scope of the schemes, not a promise that any individual applicant will qualify or receive support. The pages captured here do not set out a complete current-cycle selection formula, documentation checklist or application timeline for a 2027 entrant.

Build a conservative budget from the next official fee schedule, assuming no scholarship until an award is confirmed. Compare the course fee, admission charge, deposit and instalment dates separately; keep a buffer for costs not included in the displayed totals; and check the award’s duration and renewal conditions before reducing the amount you plan to finance. The 2026-28 total of ₹20.80 lakh is useful as a historical reference point for both programmes, but it should not be presented as the 2027-29 price. The programme choice, scholarship terms and the fee schedule each need their own current notice.
