I’m exploring various one-year MBA programs and want to know the average cost across schools.

One-year MBA costs in India vary significantly by institute and format. ISB PGP (flagship, 1-year full-time residential) costs ₹49.91 lakh inclusive of GST for 2026–27. IIM Ahmedabad PGPX (one-year executive MBA, full-time residential) is approximately ₹35–37 lakh. IIM Bangalore EPGP is ₹33.71 lakh plus ₹5.5 lakh for international immersion. IIM Calcutta MBAEx is ₹33.5 lakh. IIM Lucknow IPMX and IIM Indore EPGP sit in a similar band (₹26–33 lakh). These residential programs include tuition, accommodation, and most academic materials. Additional living expenses for all residential programs typically add ₹3–6 lakh per year. Part-time or blended one-year options are considerably cheaper, IIM Ahmedabad BPGP (2 years, but comparable format) is ₹20 lakh; various IIM executive certificates run ₹10–15 lakh. The cost-per-year for Indian one-year MBAs is materially lower than global counterparts (INSEAD, IMD, LBS run $100,000+). Detailed cost comparison at https://www.goalisb.com/post/executive-mba-iim.
