XIM University Courses and Fees Quick Overview

Two features stand out in the 2026-27 schedule. First, only INR 70,000 separates the MBA (Business Management) from the MBA (HRM), so XIM's two core management tracks are priced almost identically. Second, the social-sector MBA tracks in Public Policy, Sustainability Management and Urban Management are all set at INR 15.40 Lakhs, which is INR 10.60 Lakhs below the Business Management MBA. Duration and cost do not move together at the undergraduate level either: the four-year B.Tech (CSE) at INR 10.57 Lakhs and the five-year BALLB and BBA-LLB at INR 10.47 Lakhs end up within INR 10,000 of each other. Research fees are the simplest of all, since every Ph.D discipline, whether Management, Law, Engineering or Economics, is billed at INR 3,08,000 across three years with an additional INR 20,000 registration charge.

XIM University UG Fees 2026-27

Among the four-year bachelor's degrees, B.Tech Hons. in Computer Science Engineering carries the heaviest price tag at INR 10.57 Lakhs. Its first semester, billed at INR 1.40 Lakhs, is the costliest of the eight because one-time admission charges are folded into the other fees head; from the fifth semester onward the charge settles at INR 1.33 Lakhs per term. Selection into every undergraduate track rests on merit together with an entrance test or an accepted national score.

  • Ten semesters of the integrated law degrees, BALLB and BBA-LLB, work out to INR 10.47 Lakhs, which is nearly level with B.Tech even though the law route runs a year longer.
  • Studio and laboratory charges push the per-semester other fees up for B.Sc (Media Studies), leaving it at INR 8.63 Lakhs, a little above the standard four-year tracks.
  • A common price of INR 8.27 Lakhs over 8 semesters applies to BBM (HR and Marketing), B.Com (Accounting and Finance), BA (Public Administration) and B.Sc (Economics and Sustainable Development).
  • The lightest four-year options are BA (English) and B.Sc (Psychology), each at INR 6.81 Lakhs.

XIM University MBA Fees 2026-27

Six MBA specializations are on offer, and the spread between the cheapest and the dearest runs from INR 15.40 Lakhs up to INR 26 Lakhs. Candidates enter through CAT, XAT, GMAT or the university's own XGMT test, after which a Group Discussion and Personal Interview decide the final list.

  • Business Management splits into INR 13.90 Lakhs for the first year and INR 12.10 Lakhs for the second.
  • The HRM track bills INR 13.70 Lakhs and then INR 11.60 Lakhs, adding up to INR 25.30 Lakhs. Every specialization loads its opening year more heavily, since one-time administrative and registration charges fall due then; the second year carries tuition plus a smaller other fees head.
  • Because Rural Management, Public Policy, Sustainability and Urban Management are aimed at the development sector and public interest, their fee structure is set considerably lower.

Compressing the degree into a single year saves nothing: the Executive MBA at INR 15.50 Lakhs is priced marginally above the two-year MBA in Public Policy at INR 15.40 Lakhs. Anyone able to commit to the full-time two-year format therefore gets more for the money from the social-sector tracks in Public Policy, Sustainability and Urban Management.

XIM University PG and M.Tech Fees 2026-27

Outside the management school, the priciest postgraduate degree is M.Tech (CSE), which comes to INR 6.40 Lakhs across 4 semesters spread over two years. A two-year MA in Mass Communication is billed at INR 4.05 Lakhs. GATE scores govern entry to M.Tech (CSE), while MA and M.Sc candidates are assessed on their qualifying examination marks along with XIM's selection process.

  • M.Sc Psychology is charged at INR 3.10 Lakhs, and MA (English) sits level with M.Sc Economics at INR 2.70 Lakhs for the two-year duration.
  • Running for a single year, the LLM comes to INR 1.50 Lakhs.
  • At INR 15.10 Lakhs, the MBF (Master in Business Finance) falls just under the MBA in Rural Management and the MBA in Urban Management on price.
