Courses, Programmes and Fees at NBS Ahmedabad

The PGDM programmes run on a six-trimester structure with a 90-day domain internship; the MBA + PGPCE runs on four semesters with a 60-day internship.

Programme fees for the two-year duration, per the official Fees, Financial Aid & Scholarships page, are INR 9,85,000 for PGDM Dual Specialization, PGDM Data Science & Business Analytics and MBA + PGPCE, and INR 10,85,000 for PGDM Quantitative Finance. The MBA fee includes INR 44,450 per semester payable as the GTU university component.

Installment schedules are available.

Third-party portals report figures that diverge from the official ones: Collegedunia quotes a PGDM range of INR 7.95 lakh to 10.85 lakh and an MBA + PGPCE fee of INR 7.95 lakh with an INR 85,000 registration fee, while Shiksha quotes a total course cost of INR 12.02 lakh to 14.94 lakh inclusive of accommodation. The official fee page should be treated as authoritative and the current batch's circular confirmed with admissions before any figure is relied on.
