TAPMI Fees 2026: ₹20.1L Total

TAPMI Fees 2026-28 — Complete Fee Structure for All MBA Programmes

T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal charges a uniform tuition fee of ₹9,75,000 per year for all MBA programmes — MBA General, BKFS, HRM, IB, Marketing, Tech, and AI & DS. The total tuition for the 2-year programme is ₹19,50,000.

MBA-BKFS students pay an additional ₹70,000 for intensive training at SBI and BSE — a genuine differentiator that provides hands-on banking and capital markets training not available at most B-schools. Hostel and mess fees are listed as "Will be updated soon" in the official 2026-28 prospectus — check tapmi.edu.in before finalising your budget.

What ₹19.5L Buys You at TAPMI

At ₹19.5L tuition (excluding hostel), TAPMI is priced mid-market for its peer group.

TAPMI sits competitively on fees while offering something most peers cannot — the AACSB + AMBA Double Crown accreditation, Bloomberg Lab infrastructure, and the MBA-BKFS programme with SBI/BSE training embedded in the curriculum. For finance-focused candidates, this is a meaningful value proposition relative to the fees charged.

MBA-BKFS Additional Training Fee

The ₹70,000 BKFS training fee covers intensive market training at SBI (State Bank of India) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). This is a structured programme — not just a campus visit — that gives BKFS students real exposure to commercial banking credit analysis and capital markets operations. Few MBA programmes in India offer this kind of embedded industry training as a formal curriculum component. For students targeting BFSI roles, this ₹70,000 is among the highest-ROI expenditures in any MBA programme.

Scholarships — Up to ₹6 Crores Available

TAPMI offers scholarships worth up to ₹6 Crores annually across multiple schemes.

Scholarships are awarded without a separate application — the admissions committee evaluates merit alongside the standard application process. Candidates with strong academic records (>8.5 CGPA or equivalent) and professional certifications should specifically highlight these in their application.

ROI Analysis

At ₹13.99 LPA average package (MBA General 2025) against approximately ₹20-22L all-in cost, the payback period for an average TAPMI graduate is roughly 18-20 months. For the top quartile earning ₹17+ LPA, payback drops to 14-16 months.

For the bottom quartile (₹11-12 LPA), the ROI is tight given the fee level — this cohort would benefit most from scholarship support or loan interest deductions under Section 80E.

NRI Fees

NRI students pay USD 18,300 per year in tuition for all programmes.

NRI admissions require a GMAT score (compulsory) plus IELTS 5.0 if English proficiency needs to be demonstrated.
