Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM) Courses & Fee Structure

IISWBM’s catalogue includes two-year MBA and MSW degrees, shorter postgraduate diplomas and an executive management programme. For 2027 applicants, the current admission-updates page lists MBA (Day) and MBA-HRM applications for 2027-29. The latest fee PDF is labelled “2026 onwards”; it gives a useful planning baseline, but it is not a separate 2027-29 fee notice.

The official programme directory lists the degree and diploma options. For the day MBA, the programme page accepts a three-year bachelor’s degree, four-year honours degree, professional degree or equivalent qualification recognised by the University of Calcutta, with at least 50% aggregate marks or 45% for the listed SC/ST/NC-OBC/PwD categories. The page says selection uses CAT scores, followed by shortlisting for group discussion and interview. Confirm the exact current-cycle test year and dates in the active admission notice.

MBA-HRM is a distinct two-year MBA award from the University of Calcutta, approved by AICTE. Its curriculum page lists HR-focused subjects including labour economics, HR information systems, compensation, industrial relations and HR analytics. It is a direct option for applicants seeking a dedicated HR curriculum; the day MBA lists HR alongside four other specialisation areas.

The evening MBA is aimed at employed applicants. IISWBM lists a minimum of two years of executive or supervisory experience. Its programme pages differ in how they describe accepted tests: the schedule page lists MAT, CAT, CMAT, JEMAT, GATE and GMAT, while the overview describes MAT and also discusses CMAT, JEMAT, ATMA and XAT. Check the current evening-MBA notice for the accepted score and year. Do not apply the day programme’s test rule to the evening course.

MBA-PS and MSW are separate degree paths. Use their own programme pages and brochures to verify eligibility and current-cycle availability. The lower totals for MSW or the one-year diplomas do not make them substitutes for an MBA award.

Read the fee schedule carefully

The institute’s fee PDF separates admission, development and tuition charges from refundable caution money, security deposits and activity fees. For MBA (Day), it lists a first-semester subtotal of ₹2.45L and ₹1.95L for each of the next three semesters, totalling ₹8.30L. The first-semester amount includes ₹5,000 refundable library caution money, ₹5,000 refundable security deposit and ₹20,000 student activity/venue-visit fees. The semester payment is therefore not tuition alone.

The same schedule lists MBA-HRM at ₹6.30L, MBA-PS at ₹5.15L, MBA (Evening) at ₹6.10L and MSW at ₹3.00L. One-year totals are ₹2.70L for PG Diploma in Sports Management, ₹1.70L for EPGPM and ₹1.15L for PGDSCLM. PhD fees appear separately at ₹3.55L full time and ₹4.75L part time; the table does not state a duration beside those totals. Check the exact programme column and current payment notice for deposit treatment and revisions.

For the 2026-28 MBA (Day) cohort, IISWBM’s selected-candidate notice gives ₹2.45L for semester one and ₹1.95L for each of the next three semesters. This matches the fee PDF and confirms how that cohort’s first payment is composed. It does not confirm the 2027-29 fee.

Choosing between options

Among the listed two-year totals, MSW is ₹3.00L and the day MBA is ₹8.30L. The ₹5.30L difference compares listed fee totals only; IISWBM’s sources do not establish a like-for-like cost-per-outcome comparison.

If you want a broad MBA, compare the day programme’s specialisations with the HRM and Public Systems curricula. If you are employed, check the evening course’s experience requirement and accepted-test list before applying. If your goal is social-welfare practice, compare the MSW award and curriculum directly. For a one-year option, verify the diploma’s exact entry requirements and current availability rather than choosing by fee or duration alone.

Before applying, use the 2027-29 admission updates and the exact programme page to confirm application dates, eligibility, accepted test and year, fee components and payment deadline. The latest fee schedule located is labelled 2026 onwards; no separate 2027-29 total was stated in the opened notice.

For payment planning, read each row as a sequence of four semester subtotals across the stated two-year duration. The schedule does not present those figures as a monthly instalment plan, and the opened materials do not say that every candidate pays by an identical calendar date. The 2026-28 selected-candidate notice confirms the day MBA first-semester amount for that cohort; it is a useful cross-check on the PDF, not proof of the next batch’s price. Before paying, use the latest programme-specific notice to confirm the due date, payment instructions, and any separately listed refundable amount. Keep a copy of the notice and receipt so that the paid amount can be checked against the correct programme and semester.
