Question 1

Is Welingkar Mumbai the same as Welingkar Bengaluru?

Accepted Answer

No, though both are run under the same S.P. Mandali Trust and share a common Group Director (Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe). Welingkar Mumbai (established 1977) is the original, older campus at Matunga; the Bengaluru campus was established later, in 2004. Programme fees, seats and cut-offs differ between the two campuses.

Question 2

What programmes does Welingkar Mumbai offer?

Accepted Answer

A two-year, full-time PGDM across multiple specialisation tracks (General/Marketing-Finance-HR-Operations, E-Business, Business Design, Healthcare Management, Retail Management, Rural Management, Media & Entertainment, and Research & Business Analytics), a University of Mumbai-affiliated MMS degree, an 11-month Executive PGP for working professionals, part-time/certificate programmes, and Hybrid/distance-learning PGDM options.

Question 3

What entrance exams does Welingkar Mumbai accept for its PGDM?

Accepted Answer

CAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA or GMAT for the full-time PGDM tracks, followed by WeSchool's own profile-based Group Discussion/Activity, Written Ability Test and Personal Interview process. The separate MMS degree instead uses the Maharashtra MAH-MBA/MMS-CET via the state DTE's CAP counselling process.

Question 4

What is the fee for the PGDM programme at Welingkar Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Most current (2026) aggregator sources consistently cite a total PGDM fee of approximately INR 14 lakh (general category, excluding hostel/mess), uniform across most specialisations. Hostel fees (where availed) are reported separately, in a range of roughly INR 1.6-2.2 lakh per year across most sources, though one source cites as high as INR 3.2 lakh - confirm the current year's exact break-up with WeSchool admissions.
