What is the total BIM MBA fee?

BIM MBA Fees vs Placements: is the investment reasonable?
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Two-year institute fee | ₹18.71 lakh |
| Indicative two-year mess budget | ₹1.50 lakh |
| 2023-25 average CTC | ₹10.46 LPA |
| 2023-25 median CTC | ₹10 LPA |
| 2023-25 highest CTC | ₹35.26 LPA |
The simple fee-to-CTC comparison should not be treated as a payback calculation. CTC is not take-home salary, and loan interest, taxes, living costs and role quality affect actual ROI.
