Institute of Management Technology (IMT) Courses & Fee Structure

For the 2027–2029 batch, IMT Hyderabad lists a total fee of ₹16 lakh for each of its two listed programmes, PGDM and PGDM Finance. The official schedule divides this into ₹15.27 lakh in academic fees, ₹50,000 admission fee, ₹8,000 alumni fee and ₹15,000 refundable caution money. It does not break the academic fee into separate programme prices. The Hyderabad fee sheet is therefore the relevant comparison for applicants choosing between these two courses; do not substitute a fee from IMT Ghaziabad or another campus.

What the ₹16 lakh total covers

The schedule shows five instalments across the two academic years. The first-year instalments are ₹3 lakh, ₹2.75 lakh and ₹2.55 lakh, totalling ₹8.30 lakh. The second-year instalments are ₹3.62 lakh and ₹3.35 lakh, totalling ₹6.97 lakh. Together, the academic instalments add to ₹15.27 lakh. The remaining ₹73,000 is made up of the ₹50,000 admission fee, ₹8,000 alumni fee and ₹15,000 refundable caution money. The sheet labels the caution money refundable, but does not state the refund timeline or deductions, so confirm those terms in the current admission and withdrawal notices.

The published total is not a single academic-fee figure. That distinction matters when estimating scholarship value: the scholarship document calculates waivers on academic fee, not on the full ₹16 lakh. A 40% waiver on ₹15.27 lakh, if awarded and maintained, would equal ₹6.108 lakh before any other charges; a 20% waiver would equal ₹3.054 lakh. These are arithmetic illustrations from the published academic-fee base, not a guaranteed net payable amount. The schedule does not specify whether the admission, alumni or caution charges are adjusted by a scholarship.

The fee table lists instalment amounts but does not print due dates, late-payment penalties, payment modes, taxes, hostel or mess charges, transport, books, laptop expenses, or any other living costs. It also does not state whether the listed amounts may change after admission. Ask the Hyderabad admissions office for the current payment calendar and a written all-in estimate before comparing this fee with another school. Do not treat an unstated cost as included or zero.

Programme scope and edition check

IMT’s common admissions fees page identifies Hyderabad for the 2027–2029 batch and names PGDM and PGDM Finance. The linked campus fee schedule uses the same two-programme scope and the same total for both. It gives no separate Finance premium, optional specialisation charge, or programme-specific instalment variation. The published data supports a like-for-like fee comparison, but not a claim that every campus or all IMT programmes charge ₹16 lakh. IMT Fees & Scholarships page

The campus also has a separate 2026–2028 fee schedule. That historical sheet listed PGDM, PGDM Finance, PGDM Marketing and PGDM Logistics & Supply Chain Management at ₹16 lakh. The additional programme names and amounts belong to the 2026–2028 cohort; they should not be carried forward as 2027–2029 offerings or prices. The current common admissions page lists only PGDM and PGDM Finance for Hyderabad in the newer batch. Applicants considering another specialisation should check whether it appears in the live Hyderabad form and obtain its specific fee notice rather than infer continuation from an older schedule.

Scholarships listed for Hyderabad

The official Hyderabad scholarship sheet describes three forms of support for two-year full-time PGDM programmes. Its merit scholarship offers a 40% waiver on academic fee to applicants meeting the stated entrance-score condition: 90 percentile or above in CAT or XAT, or a GMAT score of 700 (10th edition) or 655 (Focus Edition) and above. During the PGDM, the student must maintain a CGPA of at least 7.5 and have no academic or non-academic misdemeanour record. The source does not specify the CAT or XAT edition, the score-validity dates for GMAT, or whether eligibility is recalculated separately for each programme. Verify those details for the 2027–2029 intake before using a past score to plan finances. Official Hyderabad scholarship schedule

The Smt Leela Nath Memorial Scholarship offers female students joining the two-year full-time PGDM programmes a 20% waiver on academic fee. Its continuation requirements are a CGPA of at least 7 and no academic or non-academic misdemeanour record. The sheet does not define an application process, selection order, proof requirements, or whether the award is automatic. The 20% figure applies to academic fee, not automatically to the ₹16 lakh total.

The tuition-fee-waiver scheme provides a 100% waiver on academic fee for up to 5% of approved intake in each programme, referencing clause 6.42 of the AICTE Approval Process Handbook. The scholarship sheet does not explain the current selection procedure or whether a student must apply through a separate government or institute process. Confirm the applicable handbook year, eligibility and required documents with the institute. The waiver is limited by the stated intake cap and should not be treated as a broadly available full-cost scholarship.

The institute states that a student eligible for more than one scholarship or fee-waiver scheme will receive only one. It also reserves the right to change scholarship terms, and says the scholarship committee’s allocation decision is final. Consequently, do not add waiver percentages together or subtract a scholarship from the whole fee before an award is confirmed. Ask for a written award decision showing the academic-fee base, continuation conditions and charges that remain payable.

A practical way to budget

Start with the ₹15.27 lakh academic-fee amount and the five listed instalments, then add the separately stated admission, alumni and caution charges to reproduce the ₹16 lakh total. Keep the refundable ₹15,000 caution amount separate from non-refundable fees in your own cash-flow plan until the refund terms are confirmed. Add living and travel costs only after obtaining current Hyderabad estimates; they are not priced in the official fee table.

If you may qualify for a scholarship, calculate the possible reduction against academic fee only, then plan to pay the published instalments until the institute confirms an award and explains when it is credited. The merit and memorial awards carry ongoing academic-conduct conditions, so their headline percentages are not unconditional reductions. The full academic-fee waiver has an explicit cap of up to 5% of approved intake in each programme, with procedure details absent from the sheet. Ask admissions or the scholarship committee to confirm how the 2027–2029 notice applies to your application and whether the award affects instalment dates.

Before paying, download or save the current campus notice and check that it names Hyderabad, your programme and the 2027–2029 batch. Confirm the instalment due dates, refund policy, any costs outside the table, scholarship application steps and continuation rules in writing. The official schedule is a useful base for comparison, but it is not by itself a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate.
