LBSIM- Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management Courses & Fee Structure

What the 2027–29 fee schedule covers

LBSIM’s published fee schedule is for the 2027–29 batch and states that it applies to all four two-year, full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management programmes: PGDM General, Financial Management, Research & Business Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence & Data Science. The table has two seat categories, “General Seat” and “Corporate Sponsored Seat.” The public schedule does not show separate tuition prices for the four programme names, so applicants should not assume that a specialisation changes the listed amount. See the official PGDM fee schedule and programme list.

The stated tuition total is ₹17,25,000 for a General Seat and ₹22,90,000 for a Corporate Sponsored Seat. These are the schedule’s two tuition totals for the four named PGDM programmes. “Corporate Sponsored” is the school’s seat label; the schedule excerpt does not define eligibility for that category. Confirm your admission offer and the applicable category before paying, and use the amount shown in your own applicant portal or offer documents if they differ from a general webpage.

The year totals above come from the official installment table. They are tuition figures, not a promise that every other compulsory charge, hostel cost or optional activity is included. The rows below keep those items separate so applicants can compare the components without treating refundable deposits as tuition.

Tuition installments and the displayed payment dates

For 2027–28, the schedule shows an initial installment payable “at the time of admission”: ₹4,95,000 for a General Seat or ₹6,10,000 for a Corporate Sponsored Seat. It lists the second installment as due by 1 November 2026, at ₹4,10,000 or ₹5,60,000 respectively. Those two entries total ₹9,05,000 and ₹11,70,000 for the year.

The listed 1 November 2026 date had already passed when we reopened the official page on 6 November 2026. The site does not state on that schedule whether the date has been revised, whether payment is still accepted, or whether any late charge applies. Ask the admissions office for the current due date and written confirmation of your account status before acting on this older-looking line. Do not assume a waiver or penalty from the date alone.

For 2028–29, the schedule lists two further tuition installments. The third is shown as due by 15 April 2027 and the fourth by 1 November 2027. Each is ₹4,10,000 in the General Seat column and ₹5,60,000 in the Corporate Sponsored column, giving published year totals of ₹8,20,000 and ₹11,20,000. Recheck the live applicant portal and admission notice as the cohort approaches those dates; the page may be updated after this capture.

Other compulsory charges

The schedule lists several charges separately from tuition. The experiential immersion programme is ₹25,000 for both seat categories and is placed in the first installment. It covers two mandatory credit courses: rural immersion and outbound leadership. A refundable security amount of ₹10,000 is also added to the first installment. The examination fee is ₹15,000, divided into four equal installments of ₹3,750. A Management Grid fee of ₹50,000 is shown as payable at admission, and a lifetime alumni membership fee of ₹15,000 is also shown at admission.

These are separate rows on the school’s schedule. Check your admission invoice for how the payment portal groups them; the published page does not label a single combined “all-in” amount. The ₹10,000 security is explicitly refundable, so it should not be described as part of tuition. The page also mentions an optional international immersion programme. It says LBSIM partly subsidises actual expenses and selects from students who apply, but does not give a fixed price. Treat that cost as variable and ask for the current itinerary and student contribution before opting in.

Hostel charges are separate and availability-based

For students who take hostel accommodation, LBSIM lists ₹2,40,000 for 2027–28, payable at admission, plus a separate refundable hostel security deposit of ₹10,000. The schedule lists ₹2,00,000 for 2028–29, due by 1 November 2027. These hostel amounts sit in their own section and are not included in the ₹17.25 lakh or ₹22.90 lakh tuition totals.

The institute says hostel places are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis, and electricity is charged according to a sub-meter reading. Students from Delhi may also apply. The official hostel page gives the accommodation details; confirm availability, room allocation and the latest charges directly before budgeting on-campus residence.

Application fee is a separate one-time payment

The programme page states that the application form costs ₹1,500 through 15 November 2026 and ₹2,200 from 16 November 2026. This is an application charge, not a tuition installment or hostel deposit. If you are applying close to the changeover date, check the amount shown in the official application form before completing payment. The fee table does not establish the final application closing date; the admissions page and applicant portal remain the place to check current cycle notices.

What to verify before you pay

First, confirm the programme, seat category and batch printed in your offer. The table explicitly covers four PGDM programmes, while the Fellow Programme in Management is a separate offering and is not included in this PGDM schedule. Second, reconcile the tuition instalments and additional charges against the invoice, paying particular attention to the past-dated 1 November 2026 line. Third, ask for hostel availability and the electricity billing basis if you need accommodation. Finally, keep receipts for any refundable security amount and ask the institute for its refund process and timeline. The fee page refers to AICTE withdrawal and refund regulations, but that is not a substitute for checking the terms applicable to your own payment and admission status.

The current published schedule is the most useful starting point for comparing the two listed seat categories. It does not settle current account status, hostel availability, optional international immersion cost or a special programme-specific difference; those details need confirmation from LBSIM before payment.
