IIM Bangalore offers 5 programmes, across UG, PG and PhD level. This page lists what is on offer, what each one costs and how long it runs, so you can see the whole picture before you shortlist a course.
The programmes sit in 3 streams — Management, Others and Medical. If your subject is not on that list, this college is probably not the right fit, however good its overall reputation.

One thing worth checking before you compare these against another college: fees here cover tuition. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are usually separate, and they can add a lot over four years. Ask for the all-in figure.
How to choose between these courses
- Start with the subject, not the college. A course you do not enjoy will be a long few years, whatever the campus is like.
- Check the entrance exam. Each programme has its own route in, and the exam decides your timeline for the whole year.
- Add up the real cost. Total fees plus hostel, mess and living expenses — then look at scholarships and education loans.
- Ask about branch-wise placements. College-wide figures hide big differences between branches.
About this list
These 5 programmes come from IIM Bangalore's own course record and are updated as it changes. A dash in the fee column means the college has not published that figure yet, not that the course is free. For anything that will decide your admission — eligibility, exact fees, seat numbers — confirm with the college before you apply.
