Four courses cost INR 22.85 Lakhs each and Dual Country costs INR 9.88 Lakhs in rupees, plus AED 83,175 in Dubai. The course decides what you study; the fee depends only on where you study. Every course name below opens its own course page.
The 2025 cutoff was 90 percentile for all five courses, in CAT for three and in XAT for two. These figures come from Collegedunia's cutoff data, because IMT does not publish cutoffs. A score above the cutoff gets you a shortlist; the test and interview decide the seat.

FAQs on IMT Ghaziabad PGDM
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is PGDM at IMT Ghaziabad worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who finish the course. The full fee is INR 22.85 Lakhs for the Ghaziabad courses, and the Class of 2026 got an average of INR 18.1 LPA and a median of INR 17 LPA. At that pay, you earn the fee back in about a year and a half of work. If you plan to take a loan, check the EMI tile in the fee block above first.
Which specialisation should I pick at IMT Ghaziabad?▾
Pick the course built for the job you want. Marketing suits brand and sales jobs, Finance suits corporate finance, and BFS suits banks and insurance. If you are not sure yet, take PGDM and choose your major later. Read who each course suits in the block above before you fill the form.
Does pay differ between the five courses?▾
IMT does not say. It publishes one set of figures for the whole PGDM batch: INR 18.1 LPA average and INR 17 LPA median for the Class of 2026. So do not pick a course only for pay. Ask the placement team which companies hired from your course last year before you accept the offer.
Is Dual Country worth the extra cost?▾
Only if you want to work in the Gulf region or study abroad. You pay INR 9.88 Lakhs in rupees plus AED 83,175 for terms 3 to 5 at IMT Dubai. The Dubai part is paid in AED, so its rupee cost changes. If your family cannot plan for that, the four Ghaziabad courses cost INR 22.85 Lakhs.
Who should skip PGDM at IMT Ghaziabad?▾
Skip it if you want HR as your major in a course other than PGDM, or if you cannot pay about INR 22.85 Lakhs. Also skip Dual Country if you need one fixed fee in rupees. If neither is a problem, check your score in the checker above before you decide.
Should I take BFS or Finance?▾
Take BFS if you want a bank, insurance or stock market job. It sends you to NISM Mumbai for one term, and banks and finance firms gave 25% of the Class of 2026 offers. Take Finance if you want corporate finance or investment work in a smaller class of about 30 to 60.
Will I get a job after PGDM here?▾
Most students do. More than 160 companies hired from the Class of 2026, and over 60 of them came for the first time. Banks, IT firms and consulting firms gave the most offers. IMT has not published the share of the batch placed, so ask the placement team for it at the interview.
Should I join with a 90 percentile?▾
You can get a shortlist, but the seat is not sure. The 2025 cutoff was 90 percentile for all five courses, as per Collegedunia's cutoff data. The Critical Thinking Test and the interview decide the offer. So prepare for both, and keep a second college on your list.
Is it better to wait a year for a higher CAT score?▾
Only if you are sure you can score 98 percentile or more. That mark brings the merit scholarship of 25% for men and 30% for women on tuition. Waiting gives no promise of a better score, so apply this year too if your score is above 90.
How do I get admission to PGDM here?▾
Write CAT, XAT or GMAT, then fill one IMT form for all five courses. IMT shortlists on your score, marks and work experience. Shortlisted students take a Critical Thinking Test and an interview, and the offer comes after that.
Is the fee the same for every course?▾
No. The four Ghaziabad courses cost INR 22.85 Lakhs each without the deposit. Dual Country costs INR 9.88 Lakhs in rupees plus AED 83,175 at IMT Dubai. The fee block above shows both groups, so tap yours before you compare.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. The Ghaziabad courses take INR 12.27 Lakhs of tuition in year 1 and INR 10 Lakhs in year 2. Dual Country is paid in six instalments. If you need a loan, ask IMT for the fee letter early, because banks ask for it.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) Dual Country Program at the Institute of Management Technology (IMT) offers a unique blend of international exposure and diverse opportunities, albeit with a higher fee structure of approximately INR 28.73 lakhs, which includes airfare to Dubai. Admissions require a Bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks and a minimum cutoff of 90 percentile in CAT and XAT, with a lower threshold for candidates with significant work experience.
The application fee is Rs 2,500, and selection is based on test scores, exceptional profiles, and work experience. IMT Ghaziabad provides a seamless admission process, including an online application and interview conducted through the IMT portal. Scholarships like the Smt Leela Nath Memorial Scholarship and Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme help mitigate costs, especially for female students and those from economically weaker sections. The placement record for the 2021-2023 batch was impressive, achieving a 100% success rate with participation from over 150 companies, and offering an average salary of 17.35 LPA.
The highest international salary reached 65.6 LPA, while the top domestic offer was 34 LPA. The Dual Country Program placements averaged around 17 LPA, with a median of 15 LPA. Internship stipends ranged from AED 2000 to a high of AED 6000 per month. Industries that recruited included BFSI, Consulting, IT/ITES, FMCG, Logistics, and Pharma, offering roles in various domains such as Finance, Operations, HR, Sales and Marketing, and Strategy.
The program's comprehensive approach, coupled with strong placement support, makes it a worthwhile investment for those seeking global business education.
