New Delhi Institute of Management (NDIM): Programmes, Admissions, Fees and Outcomes

New Delhi Institute of Management: programmes, admissions and outcomes

New Delhi Institute of Management (NDIM) is a management institute in Tughlakabad Institutional Area, New Delhi. Its current official pages focus on the 2027–29 PGDM intake and describe a two-year, full-time programme with dual specializations. The institute also lists separate PGDM Finance, PGDM Marketing and doctoral FPM programmes. This distinction matters when you compare admission requirements, fees or placement figures: several published figures are for one programme or an aggregated two-year postgraduate group, not every NDIM course.

Location and programme identity

The 2026 mandatory disclosure also reports 240 seats. Read this as the figure in that disclosure, not confirmation of the number available in the later 2027–29 intake. Check the new batch’s seat matrix and programme-specific availability before comparing it with older capacity data.

NDIM’s 2026 mandatory disclosure identifies the institute at 60, 50 (B&C), Tughlakabad Institutional Area, New Delhi. It lists four programmes: PGDM, PGDM (Financial Management), PGDM (Marketing Management) and FPM (Business Management). The flagship PGDM page describes a two-year, full-time, AICTE-approved Post Graduate Diploma in Management, organised over four semesters.

NDIM’s PGDM page says that AICTE granted MBA equivalence to the PGDM in 2008. The course is still named and awarded as a PGDM in the institute’s programme and disclosure material; the equivalence statement should not be used to rename the credential as a university MBA degree. NDIM describes the flagship curriculum as dual-specialization, with the final two semesters focused on specialization and integration. Its page lists options across areas including Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, Digital Marketing, Operations and Supply Chain, and Business Analytics.

The mandatory disclosure separately names PGDM (Financial Management), PGDM (Marketing Management) and FPM. Do not assume the flagship PGDM’s schedule applies to those programmes. FPM is doctoral study, not another two-year management diploma.

Applying for the 2027–29 PGDM batch

The eligibility page says graduates from any stream may apply if their university is recognised by UGC or AIU. It also describes an online application and lists a non-refundable ₹1,000 application fee. That is an application charge, separate from the PGDM course fee. Before paying, confirm that the official portal still shows the same fee for your selected intake and that your test score is from an accepted examination and edition.

The separate 2027–29 interview schedule says counselling through Group Discussion and Personal Interview is conducted at the Delhi campus and online. It tells applicants to complete the online application before appearing. Candidates should rely on the schedule or their direct communication for the assigned date, time, mode and joining instructions; the page does not establish one universal interview slot. This is more useful than assuming every applicant travels to Delhi or that a published past schedule applies to a new shortlist.

NDIM’s official eligibility page identifies the PGDM (MBA) 2027–29 batch. It states that graduates from any stream at a UGC- or AIU-recognised university may apply, and gives minimum graduation marks of 50% for general-category candidates and 45% for reserved-category candidates. The page says CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, ATMA, GMAT or State Common Entrance Examination scores may be considered for shortlisting.

The page describes selection as an overall assessment that includes graduation, Class 12 and Class 10 marks, entrance scores, Group Discussion and Personal Interview, alongside achievements such as work experience, leadership, extracurricular activities and community service. A past percentile threshold therefore does not guarantee a shortlist or admission. Check the application portal for accepted test editions, active dates and any current-cycle updates. The same eligibility page still contains a 2026–28 final-year deadline in one older paragraph, so that date should not be carried forward to the 2027–29 batch.

2027–29 fee and residence budget

The payment choice changes the timing, not the listed course-fee total: the four semester instalments are ₹3,50,000 each, which add to ₹14,00,000. The official fee page separately says semester-wise payment carries an annual ₹6,000 convenience charge. Confirm whether that charge applies in each payment year and ask about any payment deadlines or deposit before selecting a mode; do not treat it as part of the annual-payment schedule unless NDIM confirms that.

Accommodation is also a separate decision. NDIM says it has multiple hostel arrangements for boys and girls within walking distance and that married-student accommodation is available. Its twin-sharing starting price is ₹11,000 per month including meals, while room choice and additional amenities can raise charges. A monthly starting rate cannot by itself establish a full-year or full-course hostel bill: ask which months are billed, what is included, whether a deposit applies and what room types are currently available. Add the confirmed residence total to tuition only after those details are clear.

The official fee page lists ₹7,00,000 in Year 1 and ₹7,00,000 in Year 2 for the PGDM 2027–29 batch, or ₹14,00,000 in course fees. Students choosing semester-wise payment are shown four instalments of ₹3,50,000 each, with an additional annual convenience charge of ₹6,000. The page says hostel and international study tours are optional and excluded from the stated course fee.

The page lists twin-sharing hostel charges from ₹11,000 per month, including meals, with higher charges possible for additional amenities or other room types. That is a starting monthly figure, not a confirmed two-year residence total: availability, billing months and room choice affect the amount. Confirm the full schedule and any deposits with NDIM before budgeting. The published scholarship pool and rebate criteria are summarized on the official fee page; it does not state one fixed award amount for every student.

Reading NDIM’s placement data

The NIRF 2026 submission reports outcomes for the grouped “PG [2 Years Program(s)]” category. It records the numbers graduating in minimum stipulated time, placed, the median salary of placed graduates and students selected for higher studies.

TableCards

Graduating year	Graduated in minimum time	Placed	Median salary per annum	Higher studies
2022–23	455	455	₹8,60,000	0
2023–24	505	504	₹9,50,000	1
2024–25	500	500	₹10,12,000	0

NIRF’s data-entry guidance defines the median-salary field as an annual amount. The NDIM submission groups two-year postgraduate programmes and does not split these outcome rows into PGDM, Finance and Marketing. The ratios implied by the placed and graduate counts are simple arithmetic, not separately stated placement rates. The figures do not provide an offer-level salary distribution or a denominator for students who were eligible for placements but did not participate.

NDIM’s placements page has a separate interim update for the 2024–26 batch: it says placements began in September 2025 and more than 200 students had full-time placements by December 2025. The same page said the course was scheduled to finish in July 2026 and that further recruitment was still in the pipeline. Treat this as a dated progress statement, not a final 2024–26 outcome. Ask for a closing report if you need the final number placed or a batch-specific salary distribution.

Historical cutoff and scholarship context

The same fee page describes the ₹2.5 crore pool for meritorious students and says the amount varies with the percentile and examination. It lists high scores in named entrance tests and a strong academic record among the criteria. The page also names rebate categories, including wards of defence or paramilitary personnel, siblings of current students or alumni, NDIM BBA/BCom students, students from Jammu and Kashmir or the Northeastern states, reserved-category students, and wards of a single parent. These are categories to verify with the institute, not evidence that every applicant in a category receives a fixed reduction. Ask which documents, renewal conditions, stacking rules and payment deadlines apply to your case.

NDIM’s 2026 mandatory disclosure records a 70th-percentile threshold for CAT, MAT, XAT, ATMA and CMAT across the 2023–25, 2024–26 and 2025–27 PGDM batches. It repeats those entries for PGDM (Financial Management). These are historical thresholds; they are not a published 2027–29 cutoff. The current eligibility page lists a broader set of tests, including GMAT and State Common Entrance Examinations, but the five-test historical table does not establish how every score will be assessed for the next intake.

For 2027–29, NDIM’s fee and scholarship page describes a ₹2.5 crore scholarship and rebate pool. It says scholarship amounts vary with test percentile and examination, and also lists academic record among scholarship criteria. It separately identifies rebate categories. The page does not provide a guaranteed award amount or a universal percentile that would secure a scholarship, so confirm eligibility and award conditions directly with the institute.

How to compare NDIM with other management options

A practical comparison can be made in four passes. First, match the exact award and programme: NDIM’s flagship is a PGDM with an AICTE equivalence statement, while the disclosure lists separate Finance, Marketing and FPM programmes. Second, compare admission rules for the same batch and test edition; the historical percentile table is not the current cycle’s full evaluation. Third, calculate tuition using the payment mode you would actually use, then add only confirmed residence and optional-tour costs. Finally, compare outcomes by the same graduating year, programme group and reported measure. NDIM’s NIRF rows are grouped across two-year programmes, so they cannot tell you whether the flagship PGDM alone achieved the same median.

Before applying, keep a short verification record: the programme and batch named in the portal, the accepted test and score year, the current form fee, the interview instructions sent to you, the complete tuition schedule, the accommodation quote and the precise cohort behind each placement figure. If any of those differs from the published overview, use the current specialist page or written institute communication for the decision.

Compare the programme name first, then line up the same kinds of figures. The ₹14 lakh tuition schedule is for the 2027–29 flagship PGDM; the placement table is an institution-submitted, grouped two-year PG series for graduating years through 2024–25; and the cutoff table is historical through the 2025–27 batch. Those figures answer different questions and should not be combined into a promise of future salary or admission.

Before deciding, verify your exact programme and intake, score edition, current cutoff, full fee including residence and optional tours, scholarship terms, and the placement cohort and denominator behind any outcome figure. NDIM’s official programme, admission, fees and placement pages provide useful starting points, but the current batch’s final admission rules and final placement report should be confirmed in their respective specialist pages.

Sources and scope

This overview uses NDIM’s official PGDM programme, admissions and fee pages, its 2026 mandatory disclosure, its placements page, NDIM’s NIRF 2026 Management submission, and NIRF’s user manual for the annual median-salary definition. Dates and programme scope are retained where those sources provide them. The reviewed sources do not establish a final placement report for 2024–26, a current 2027–29 percentile cutoff, or a fixed scholarship award.
