We took every fee figure from Goa Institute of Management’s official fee page for the 2027-29 batch and checked it on 9 October 2026<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

GIM’s sticker price for the 2027 batch is \u20b922 lakh. Your real bill lands closer to \u20b924.3 lakh. Where does the extra \u20b92.3 lakh come from, and can you bring it down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) charges an academic fee of \u20b922,00,000 for the 2027-29 batch of its two-year PGDM programmes. GIM awards a PGDM, which most candidates call its MBA. A non-AC hostel room adds \u20b92.28 lakh, so the total reaches about \u20b924.28 lakh before personal spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GIM PGDM Fee Structure 2027 by Programme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GIM charges the same academic fee for all four full-time programmes. The seat counts below come from GIM’s admissions FAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme<\/th>Seats<\/th>Academic fee<\/th><\/tr>
PGDM (flagship)<\/td>300<\/td>\u20b922,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
PGDM Healthcare Management (HCM)<\/td>120<\/td>\u20b922,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
PGDM Big Data Analytics (BDA)<\/td>180<\/td>\u20b922,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
PGDM Banking, Insurance & Financial Services (BIFS)<\/td>120<\/td>\u20b922,00,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GIM calls this figure the academic fee, and most aspirants call it the tuition fee. GIM’s fee-waiver terms put the tuition component of the academic fee at \u20b914,16,000. The rest of the \u20b922 lakh covers other academic charges that GIM does not itemise on its fee page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fee also rose this year. The 2026-28 batch paid \u20b921,45,000, so the 2027-29 batch pays \u20b955,000 more, an increase of about 2.6%. Some websites still show the older \u20b921.45 lakh figure, so always check the batch year before you trust a number. You can confirm the current figure on the official GIM fees and financial aid page<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Pay: GIM Fee Instalment Schedule for 2027-29<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GIM splits the academic fee into four instalments. You pay the first two before you join, and fee submission starts in March 2027 once you receive your acceptance letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instalment<\/th>When you pay<\/th>Amount<\/th><\/tr>
Inst. 1a<\/td>Mar-Jun 2027<\/td>\u20b950,000<\/td><\/tr>

Plan for \u20b95.5 lakh before day one. Keep one rule in mind: GIM does not refund fees once you pay them if you discontinue the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living Expenses at GIM: Hostel, Food and Daily Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The PGDM is fully residential, so hostel costs count as part of your real budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hostel charges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GIM’s FAQ lists \u20b92,28,000 for non-AC accommodation across the whole programme. GIM allots double-occupancy rooms in the first year and single-occupancy rooms in the second. The campus has 10 hostels, a swimming pool, a football ground and a basketball court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AC rooms cost more, and GIM’s expense estimator on the fees page lets you test both options. Third-party listings say the \u20b92.28 lakh includes mess charges, but GIM’s FAQ does not say so. Ask the admissions office to confirm what the hostel fee covers, and budget a small buffer in case charges change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location and travel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The campus sits in Poriem, Sattari, so you travel further than a city student would. GIM lists Thivim as the nearest railway station at 17 km. The nearest airports are Manohar International at 36 km and Dabolim at 43 km. If you live far from Goa, add the cost of two or three round trips a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal spending: an example budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GIM does not publish personal-spending figures, so the table below uses an example you should adjust. We assume \u20b96,000 a month for phone, travel, laundry, clubs and outings. Your number may run higher or lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Item<\/th>Amount<\/th><\/tr>
Academic fee<\/td>\u20b922,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
Hostel (non-AC)<\/td>\u20b92,28,000<\/td><\/tr>
Personal spending (example: \u20b96,000 \u00d7 24 months)<\/td>\u20b91,44,000<\/td><\/tr>
Estimated total cost of attendance<\/strong><\/td>\u20b925,72,000<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The refundable deposit sits outside this total because GIM returns it after you leave, minus \u20b95,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarships and Fee Waivers That Cut GIM MBA Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GIM offers merit scholarships and one need-based waiver. A student can claim only one financial benefit, so a tuition fee waiver cancels an ACCESS scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheme<\/th>Who qualifies<\/th>Value<\/th><\/tr>
ACCESS (PGDM)<\/td>Strong performers admitted through the Achiever’s Round with PGDM as first preference<\/td>45 awards of \u20b95,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
ACCESS (BDA)<\/td>Same route, BDA as first preference<\/td>21 awards of \u20b95,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
ACCESS (BIFS)<\/td>Candidates who completed CA, CS, CMA, CFA (US), ACCA, CIMA, CPA (US) or FRM<\/td>7 awards of \u20b95,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
GIM-MBBS Scholarship (HCM)<\/td>MBBS graduates admitted to PGDM-HCM<\/td>7 awards of \u20b95,00,000<\/td><\/tr>
Tuition Fee Waiver<\/td>Family income below \u20b98 lakh a year<\/td>Full tuition waiver, up to 5% of admitted students<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GIM pays each scholarship in two halves, one in each year. The second half depends on a CGPA of 5.6 or above and good conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waiver covers the tuition component of \u20b914,16,000. If that is the only part GIM waives, simple subtraction leaves about \u20b97.84 lakh of other academic charges. Ask GIM to confirm the exact figure before you count on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GIM states that admission is purely merit-based. It accepts no donations or management quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education Loans for GIM: Bank Options and PM-Vidyalaxmi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most students fund the fee with a loan. GIM lists these partners on its fees page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
