An analysis of expenditure incurred at two top government university b-schools

The tuition fees and ancillary costs for management education at the Indian Institutes of Management, private Indian b-schools and deemed universites have witnessed upto sixfold increases in the last seven years. In contrast, the government university affiliated management schools have only seen a marginal hike in their fees, making them look economically attractive. However, external circumstances and inflation have ensured that you now have to spend a substantial sum for living expenditure over and above the academic costs for studying in these institutions, thereby mitigating their cost advantage to an extent.

We decided to speak to students at these two b-schools and find out what it really costs to do an MBA at these schools. The two big cost components of an MBA program are the Academic Costs (Admission Fees, Tuition Fees, Course Materials, etc) and the Living Expenditure (A place to stay, Food, etc). The FMS Delhi Academic Cost The FMS website lists the cost of the two-year MBA FT programme as Rs 10,450 year. That makes the total cost Rs 20,900 for two years. If you are calculating your educational expenditure on this figure, the FMS programme sounds extremely economical. However, the FMS website does not stipulate the other components of the academic expenditure such as membership fees to student bodies, library fee etc. (Continued) 1 of 6 A university to manage a rapidly urbanising India After Re symbol, IIT-Bombay to sell games more...
