IMCOST is part of ASM’s Group of Institutes, which has been operating in the Mumbai region for several years offering both management and technology-focused postgraduate education.

ASM’s IMCOST Mumbai MMS Fees 2026

MMS (Master in Management Studies) is the University of Mumbai-equivalent of MBA, recognised by AICTE and awarded by the University of Mumbai. IMCOST offers four specialisations: Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, and Operations. The total fee is INR 2,31,000 across all four, working out to INR 57,750 per semester over the 2-year, 4-semester programme.

At INR 1,15,500 per year, MMS at IMCOST sits in the affordable bracket for University of Mumbai-affiliated management institutes in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Private B-schools in Mumbai affiliated to autonomous universities or deemed universities often charge INR 5 Lakhs to INR 15 Lakhs for comparable postgraduate management programmes. The fact that Finance, Marketing, HR, and Operations are all priced identically means there is no financial reason to choose one specialisation over another.

Admission to MMS programmes at IMCOST runs through MAH-MBA CET scores or through equivalent exams: CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, and ATMA. Candidates must hold a graduation degree in any discipline with a minimum of 50% aggregate. Shortlisted candidates go through a group discussion and personal interview before final selection. The Maharashtra State CET Cell manages MMS admissions for Mumbai University-affiliated colleges through a centralised process.

ASM’s IMCOST is located in the Thane-Mumbai corridor, one of India’s largest commercial and IT clusters. MMS and MCA graduates from this region benefit from proximity to Mumbai’s financial services sector, Thane’s growing IT parks, and the broader MMR’s manufacturing and logistics industry. The institute is part of ASM’s Group of Institutes, which has operated education programmes across management and technology in the region for several decades.

For MMS, the University of Mumbai curriculum spans topics across general management, specialisation-specific modules, and a mandatory project in the final semester. Finance specialisation covers capital markets, banking, and financial modelling. HR covers talent management, organisational behaviour, and employment law. Marketing covers digital marketing, consumer behaviour, and brand strategy. Operations covers supply chain, project management, and lean processes.

ASM’s IMCOST Mumbai MCA Fees 2026

MCA at IMCOST costs INR 1,60,000 for the complete 2-year programme, at INR 40,000 per semester. Affiliated to the University of Mumbai and AICTE-approved, the programme builds skills in software development, database management, web technologies, and enterprise applications. Candidates with a graduation degree (any stream) that included Mathematics at the 10+2 level, with a minimum of 50% aggregate, are eligible.

Admission runs through MAH-MCA CET 2026, which was held on March 30, 2026, with results declared on May 19, 2026. IMCOST is located in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, giving MCA students access to Mumbai’s large IT and software services ecosystem for internships and placement opportunities.

The INR 71,000 difference between MMS (INR 2,31,000) and MCA (INR 1,60,000) is meaningful over a 2-year horizon. Students choosing MCA over MMS are saving close to a third on total fees while pursuing a technical postgraduate programme instead of a management one. Both qualifications are University of Mumbai awards, recognised across industries in the MMR.

For MCA, the University of Mumbai curriculum at IMCOST covers programming languages, data structures, operating systems, networking, and project work. The 2-year duration and the INR 40,000 per-semester cost make it a practical option for graduates aiming to enter the technology sector without committing to the higher cost of a private autonomous MCA programme. Graduates from the MMR’s MCA programmes are in demand in Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Pune’s expanding IT sectors.
