Term-wise breakdown, hostel costs, scholarships and education loans
IMT Ghaziabad charges a tuition fee of ₹20,30,000 to ₹20,80,000 for the 2-year PGDM programme, plus a one-time fee of ₹73,000 (registration, library, and institutional charges). The total programme cost is approximately ₹21.5 Lakhs.
Hostel accommodation is mandatory as IMT Ghaziabad operates a fully residential programme — all meals (4 per day) are included. The residential requirement means the quoted fee is effectively an all-in cost without additional living expenses, making IMT's total cost of attendance more transparent than many B-schools that list accommodation separately.
IMT Ghaziabad at ₹21.5L is competitively priced among Delhi NCR B-schools:
| B-School | Total Fee |
|---|---|
| IMT Ghaziabad | ₹21.5L |
| MDI Gurgaon | approximately ₹23-24L |
| IMI Delhi | approximately ₹20-21L |
| FORE School of Management | approximately ₹18-19L |
For the Delhi NCR location, AACSB accreditation, and 160+ company recruiter network, IMT's fees represent solid value — particularly given the ₹18.15 LPA average placement which yields a payback period of approximately 14 months.
IMT Ghaziabad's merit scholarship is one of the most straightforward in Indian B-school admissions:
| Eligibility | Female Candidates | Male Candidates |
|---|---|---|
| 98 percentile or above in CAT/XAT, or 750+ in GMAT (10th edition or Focus edition) | 30% fee waiver | 25% fee waiver |
This brings the effective tuition down to approximately ₹14.6L (female) or ₹15.6L (male) for top scorers — a significant reduction that makes IMT extremely attractive for high-percentile candidates who are choosing between IMT and a newer/lower-ranked IIM at similar fees.
SBI Scholar Loan covers up to ₹40 Lakhs at 8.5-9.5% with a moratorium covering the 2-year programme plus 6-12 months after. IMT Ghaziabad's AACSB accreditation and NIRF #35 ranking mean that an IMT offer letter is accepted without friction by all nationalised banks.
HDFC Credila processes IMT applications in 2-3 weeks. Section 80E of the Income Tax Act allows full interest deduction for 8 years — meaningful for borrowers in the 30% tax bracket who can save ₹60,000-1,20,000/year in tax on the loan interest.
