IIM Indore Mumbai Campus Courses and Fees

IIM Indore Mumbai Campus offers a single programme: the PGPMX. The total programme fee is INR 21.29 Lakhs, payable in instalments across the six-term structure. A non-refundable application fee of INR 5,000 is payable at the time of application.

The PGPMX follows a six-term curriculum covering core management disciplines: strategy, finance, marketing, operations, economics, and leadership, with electives in Year 2. A mandatory International Immersion Programme in Year 2 involves a 5-day international visit. Travel and accommodation for the immersion are borne by the participant and are not included in the programme fee. Graduates receive an MBA degree from IIM Indore, the same degree conferred at the main Indore campus.

The alternate-weekend structure means participants do not forfeit their salaries or seniority. For mid-career professionals in Mumbai, the INR 21.29 Lakhs total outlay comes without the opportunity cost of a full-time career break, a meaningful financial consideration compared with residential executive MBA alternatives.

IIM Indore Mumbai Campus Admission Process

PGPMX Admission

IIM Indore Mumbai Campus does not require a CAT, GMAT, or GRE score for PGPMX admission. The entire selection is conducted by IIM Indore through its own two-stage process held at the Mumbai campus.

• Eligibility: Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university with minimum 50% aggregate marks (or equivalent CGPA)
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of full-time post-bachelor’s managerial, entrepreneurial, or professional work experience. This criterion has no exceptions
• Nationality: Open to Indian and international candidates
• No CAT, GMAT, or GRE required

The selection proceeds in two stages. Stage 1 is the IIM Indore Aptitude Test, which tests analytical and verbal ability. Shortlisted candidates from Stage 1 proceed to Stage 2, a Personal Interview conducted by IIM Indore faculty. The interview is typically conversational in approach, assessing professional track record, leadership experience, and programme fitment. Both stages are held on the same day at the Mumbai campus. Final merit is based on combined performance across both stages, with work experience profile weighed heavily.

Admission offers are dispatched within 8 days of the interview. Candidates must accept the offer within 10 days. The commitment fee, paid at acceptance, forms part of the total programme fee and is non-refundable.

IIM Indore Mumbai Campus Placements and Career Outcomes

PGPMX participants are experienced professionals. The programme is designed to accelerate career progress rather than facilitate campus-style placements. Outcomes are measured through career advancement, salary increments post-degree, and industry transitions. As per FT Executive MBA Rankings 2025, IIM Indore is ranked 1st in India for Career Progress among executive MBA programmes and 13th globally in the Career Progress category, reflecting the post-degree career acceleration achieved by PGPMX alumni.

Participants typically join the programme in mid-to-senior professional roles across industries including banking, financial services, consulting, technology, manufacturing, and healthcare. Post-degree, alumni report career transitions into senior management positions, board-level advisory roles, entrepreneurial ventures, and cross-industry moves facilitated by the IIM Indore alumni network and peer cohort.

The peer cohort itself is a major career-capital driver. PGPMX batches draw professionals from diverse industries across Mumbai and the broader Maharashtra region. The alternate-weekend format enables participants to build a peer network while retaining their current employer relationships and seniority.

IIM Indore Mumbai Campus vs SPJIMR vs IIM Kozhikode

Working executives in Mumbai considering PGPMX at IIM Indore commonly compare it with the S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) PGPM and the IIM Kozhikode Executive Programme in General Management, both of which serve a similar professional audience.

IIM Indore PGPMX holds a clear advantage in institutional branding (IIM degree), FT global ranking, and the no-GMAT entry route. SPJIMR PGPM is full-time and shorter, suited for candidates willing to take a career break. IIM Kozhikode EPGPM appeals to professionals who prefer a blended online-plus-campus format. All three programmes serve experienced professionals seeking management credentials without the full-time MBA commitment of IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore PGP.
