New Delhi Institute of Management (NDIM) Courses & Fee Structure

What is the NDIM PGDM fee for 2027-29?

NDIM’s published fee page lists the flagship PGDM (MBA) 2027–29 course fee at ₹7,00,000 for Year 1 and ₹7,00,000 for Year 2. On the annual option, that is ₹14,00,000 in course fees across the two-year programme. The page also shows the same base course fee split into four semester payments of ₹3,50,000 each.

TableCards

Payment schedule	Published instalment	Base course fee across two years
Annual	₹7,00,000 in Year 1 and ₹7,00,000 in Year 2	₹14,00,000
Semester-wise	₹3,50,000 in each of four semesters	₹14,00,000 before the convenience charge

These figures belong to NDIM’s PGDM 2027–29 batch. They are not a general amount for every NDIM course: the institute separately lists PGDM Marketing, PGDM Financial Management and FPM. Check the named programme and batch on the fee page before using this schedule for another application. The PGDM is a two-year, full-time AICTE-approved diploma programme organised over four semesters; an MBA-equivalence statement is not a change to the award name or fee scope.

Annual or semester payment: what changes?

The published base amount is the same under both schedules: two annual instalments of ₹7 lakh, or four semester instalments of ₹3.5 lakh, total ₹14 lakh. NDIM states that semester-wise payment carries an additional annual convenience charge of ₹6,000. If that charge applies in each of the programme’s two years, the arithmetic is ₹14,00,000 + (₹6,000 × 2) = ₹14,12,000 before any hostel or study-tour cost. Treat ₹14.12 lakh as the schedule-based calculation, not as a separate published total printed in the fee table.

Before selecting a plan, ask NDIM for the payment calendar and the date by which each instalment must be cleared. The public fee page gives annual and semester amounts but does not show every due date, late-payment consequence, bank-transfer cost or whether a student can change payment mode after enrolment. Get the final schedule and amount in writing with the offer or fee demand. Do not use a prior-batch handbook as the 2027–29 calendar.

A practical comparison is therefore: annual payment is ₹14 lakh in published course fees; semester payment has the same ₹14 lakh base plus the stated annual convenience charge. The second-year amount remains payable later under either plan, so compare cash-flow timing as well as the nominal total.

What does the course fee cover, and what costs extra?

NDIM says the listed course fee is inclusive of all charges except hostel and international study tours, which are optional. This is useful when comparing the fee line, but it does not turn optional accommodation or travel into a fixed part of the ₹14 lakh course amount. Ask whether any new charge is proposed for your batch and obtain a dated written fee statement before paying.

International study tours are described as optional and priced separately; the official fee page does not give one universal tour price. Participation, destination and arrangements can affect the amount. Keep it outside a compulsory budget until you have a current itinerary and quote. The programme page describes the two-year PGDM and its academic structure, while the fee page supplies the 2027–29 batch amounts; neither should be stretched into an estimate for personal living expenses.

For a comparison with another college, place the same categories side by side: compulsory course fee, optional hostel, optional international exposure, payment-mode charges, refundable deposits if any, and personal travel or living costs. The currently opened NDIM schedule identifies the course fee and the two optional exclusions. It does not provide a total residential budget or a current study-tour price, so those numbers remain unknown here.

How should you estimate hostel costs?

NDIM describes separate boys’ and girls’ hostel accommodation within walking distance of campus and says married-student accommodation is also available. The fee page says hostel charges include meals and depend on the facilities selected. Twin-sharing rooms with furniture, air-cooling, an attached bathroom, Wi-Fi and a common TV start at ₹11,000 per month. Additional amenities such as single occupancy, air-conditioning or family accommodation may raise the charge.

Use ₹11,000 per month as a published starting rate for the specified twin-sharing option, not as a guaranteed quote for every room or every month. The page does not state how many months a resident is billed, what deposits apply, availability for the 2027–29 intake, or the current premium for each upgrade. Multiplying the starting monthly rate by 24 would create a two-year estimate without knowing billing months, room allocation or rate changes. Confirm those points directly before adding hostel to your personal budget.

The page also mentions free transport to and from campus for students using the described hostels. Confirm the route, schedule and current operational terms if transport affects your decision. Hostel availability and room type can change the real cost more than the advertised starting figure.

Scholarships and fee rebates: who may qualify?

NDIM says it has a ₹2.5 crore pool for scholarships and rebates. The fee page describes scholarship consideration for high percentiles in CAT, XAT, CMAT, MAT, GMAT or ATMA and/or a strong academic record in Class 12 and graduation. It says the scholarship amount varies with the percentile and the exam. The page does not publish a fixed award amount, cutoff percentile, number of recipients or guaranteed reduction for an applicant, so do not subtract an assumed scholarship from the fee total.

The same page lists fee-rebate groups: wards of defence and paramilitary personnel; siblings of NDIM students or alumni; NDIM BBA/BCom students; students from Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeastern states; SC/ST/OBC/EWS students; and wards of a single parent. These are the published categories, not a complete document checklist. Applicants should ask which categories are cumulative or mutually exclusive, what proof is required and whether a rebate can be combined with a merit scholarship.

NDIM states that applicants first need to apply and qualify in the Group Discussion and Personal Interview. Confirm the scholarship or rebate process, application window, evidence requirements and the fee amount after any decision directly with the admissions office. The pool size is an institute-wide headline; it does not describe the amount any one student will receive.

Refund rules and questions to settle before payment

NDIM’s fee page says refund applications are processed as per AICTE guidelines, but the page does not reproduce a batch-specific refund schedule, deduction table or processing timeline. Read the applicable AICTE rules and ask the admissions office how to submit a request, what documents are required and which date controls any deduction. Keep the payment receipt, offer letter and the written refund terms.

Before accepting the PGDM offer, verify these items in one written fee statement:

• the 2027–29 programme name and the ₹14 lakh base course fee;
• whether you will pay annually or semester-wise, and the applicable ₹6,000 annual convenience charge;
• instalment due dates and any payment consequences;
• whether hostel is available, the selected room rate, billing months, meals and any deposit;
• whether an international study tour is optional and its current quote;
• scholarship or rebate eligibility, required documents and the awarded amount, if any;
• the refund policy and the applicable AICTE schedule.

For application eligibility, test scores and GDPI steps, use NDIM’s Admission page. This Courses & Fees guide covers the published PGDM 2027–29 cost terms; it does not establish the dates of an application window or that an award, hostel room or study tour is guaranteed.
