IMI Delhi ROI: Is the PGDM Fee Worth It?

The IMI Delhi PGDM fee of ₹23,54,000 (Batch 2026-28) is about 1.34 times the PGDM average CTC of ₹17.62 lakh a year (Batch 2023-25). The two figures come from different batches, because these are the latest published fee and the latest placement report. Read both in full on the IMI Delhi fees and IMI Delhi placements pages.

How Long Does It Take to Recover the IMI Delhi PGDM Fee?

It takes about 16 months of average CTC to match the fee. This compares ₹23,54,000 with one year of the ₹17.62 lakh PGDM average. It is before tax and living cost, and it ignores interest on any loan. The PGDM median of ₹16.56 lakh gives about 17 months. This is a rough guide only. Hostel and mess add ₹6.19 to 7.93 lakh over two years, so the cost with a hostel room is about ₹29.7 lakh to ₹31.5 lakh. That equals about 20 to 21 months of average CTC. The fee also leaves out two years of lost salary for students who leave a job to join.

Who Gets a Good Return From IMI Delhi and Who Does Not?

Most PGDM students earn close to the middle, and the top group earns clearly more. The PGDM top 10% averaged ₹26.18 lakh, the top 25% averaged ₹23.67 lakh and the top 50% averaged ₹21.17 lakh. The whole batch averaged ₹17.62 lakh. So the lower half averaged about ₹14.07 lakh, if the two halves are equal in size. That last figure is our own working from the published numbers. The report gives no lowest package.

Sector also matters. Banking, financial services and insurance made 31% of PGDM offers at an average of ₹19.61 lakh. Manufacturing and conglomerate paid ₹19.18 lakh. IT, ITES and telecom made 22% of offers at ₹16.13 lakh, and consulting and EdTech paid ₹16.65 lakh. The batch had 19 months of average work experience, so a fresher may earn below the average.

The fee suits students who want finance, manufacturing or general management roles and can fund about ₹30 lakh with a hostel room. It suits less a student who must repay a large loan quickly. It also suits less a student who counts on the highest package, because the PGDM highest was ₹27.25 lakh and one offer sets it. NIRF 2026 data shows 403 of 409 graduates placed in 2024-25, so getting placed is not the main risk. The size of the pay is. IMI Delhi names six banks for education loans, and a limited number of students with family income below ₹8 lakh a year get a Tuition Fee Waiver.
