Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSOM) Courses & Fee Structure

Programme and campus

JAGSoM presents two distinct postgraduate routes: the Bengaluru Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and the Greater Mumbai Master of Business Administration (MBA) at Vijaybhoomi University. The school identifies the Bengaluru PGDM as AICTE-approved and describes it as equivalent to an MBA through AIU recognition; the Greater Mumbai route is a university MBA. Both are described as two-year, full-time residential programmes, but the course structures and campus are different. Do not compare the programmes using one campus’s fee or hostel terms for the other. Current JAGSoM programme page

Bengaluru PGDM course structure

The current PGDM description specifies a 104-credit programme with nine mandatory core courses and six optional core courses, for 15 core courses in total. The FAQ lists Marketing, Finance, Business Analytics and Human Resources as its four elective areas. Its current catalogue counts are 15 Marketing, 16 Finance, 13 Business Analytics and 12 Human Resources electives. These numbers describe the school's listed curriculum options, not a guarantee that every option will run in every term or that one student takes all of them. The school also describes experiential and industry-facing components. Check the term-wise plan and the options scheduled for your intake if a particular elective or pathway is important to you.

What the current FAQ says about fees

The current admissions FAQ displays an approved Bengaluru PGDM fee of ₹17,50,000 and says boarding and lodging are included. The same answer lists registration at ₹1,00,000, a first instalment of ₹6,00,000, a second instalment of ₹5,25,000, and a final instalment printed as "₹5,25,00". That last string is incomplete. More importantly, the fee answer does not identify an intake year, even though the page also advertises 2027–29 admissions. The headline fee and schedule therefore cannot be treated as a complete, batch-labelled 2027–29 quotation without confirmation from JAGSoM. Current JAGSoM fee FAQ

Dated Batch 31 brochure schedule

The official brochure provides a separate, clearly dated schedule for PGDM Batch 31, 2026–28: total fees of ₹17,50,000, registration of ₹1,00,000, followed by instalments of ₹5,00,000, ₹5,75,000 and ₹5,75,000. It marks the registration fee non-refundable. The listed due points are the date in the admission offer letter for registration, within 30 days of programme registration for the first instalment, November 5, 2026 for the second, and March 15, 2027 for the third. Those dates belong to the brochure batch and are not a payment calendar for a later intake. The brochure says the residential programme fee includes hostel facilities from programme start until the start of the Industry Internship Programme (IIP). Official PGDM brochure, Batch 31, 2026–28

Why the published schedules differ

The headline total shown on the FAQ and in the 2026–28 brochure is the same, but their published instalment allocations differ: the FAQ shows ₹6,00,000 for the first instalment and ₹5,25,000 for the second, while the Batch 31 brochure shows ₹5,00,000 and ₹5,75,000. The FAQ’s final figure is malformed, so the schedules cannot be reconciled by assuming a missing digit. This distinction matters for cash-flow planning even where the displayed total matches. Use the dated brochure only for its 2026–28 cohort, and ask the admissions office for the signed fee schedule tied to your offer letter before making a payment. Current fee FAQ Batch 31 brochure

Accommodation and other costs

The FAQ says the displayed PGDM fee includes boarding and lodging; the brochure says hostel facilities are included through the start of IIP for Batch 31, 2026–28. Neither statement supplies a complete current list of incidental costs or establishes that the accommodation period is unchanged for 2027–29. Before committing, confirm the applicable hostel dates and what the fee covers, including meals, deposits, transport or other charges if they matter to your budget. The sources reviewed do not establish these details for the advertised 2027–29 intake. Do not add an estimated living-cost figure to the programme fee as though it were an official JAGSoM charge.

Scholarships and financial aid

The current page lists the Padode Foundation Scholarship, Dean's Scholarship, EWS Scholarship and Extra-curricular Excellence category. It also displays a ₹5 crore scholarship fund for high-potential students, says it is based on competitive test scores, and shows a merit-list close in December 2026. The page does not state a per-student award amount, the number of awards, category-specific thresholds or renewal rules. Treat the ₹5 crore figure as the total availability advertised on the page, not the amount awarded to one student. Confirm whether the displayed deadline applies to your intake and obtain the current eligibility and award terms before reducing your budget by an assumed scholarship.

The separate Greater Mumbai MBA

The Greater Mumbai MBA is a separate university programme and its fee should be checked independently. On the page, the question asks for the MBA fee, but the answer states that the approved fee is for the JAGSoM PGDM and gives a separate hostel figure. Because the answer labels a different programme, it is not a reliable MBA quotation. Do not apply the Bengaluru PGDM brochure schedule or the mismatched FAQ answer to the MBA. Ask the MBA admissions team for a current offer-specific fee circular and its accommodation terms. Current programme and fee FAQ

What to confirm before budgeting

For the Bengaluru PGDM, the official 2026–28 brochure is the most specific source for a total and dated payment schedule, while the live FAQ shows the same headline total but a different installment split, no intake label and a malformed final amount. The current page advertises 2027–29 admissions but the material reviewed does not resolve that schedule conflict or supply a complete, batch-labelled 2027–29 price. Get the applicable fee schedule in writing before comparing total costs, scholarship offsets or payment dates. For the Greater Mumbai MBA, request its own fee schedule because the FAQ answer is labelled PGDM.
