Note: Fees and packages are approximate and based on the latest available data for the flagship two-year MBA/PGP/MMS programs (typically for the 2023-2024 batches). Fees for IIMs are generally higher but offer substantial scholarships/fee waivers based on merit and financial need. FMS Delhi and JBIMS Mumbai stand out for their significantly lower fees.
