Fees and other expenses for one year MBA programmes
The one year MBA fees at the IIMs and private institutes are usually pegged higher than the two year full-time programmes. This is for a number of reasons, including the fact that though the duration of the programme is less, the resources, comprising the faculty and other facilities, are at par with the longer duration courses.
Because of the ‘Executive’ tag, these programmes are also clubbed along with part-time programmes for working executives. The net result is that they do not get the exemption from GST, unlike the two-year programmes.
