The university holds NAAC A+ and the institute stands #53 in NIRF Management 2025. The full fee is INR 53,500 before GST, and the tuition fee is INR 46,000. There is no entrance exam: you need a three-year degree, 2 years of work and a personal interview. The course starts only if at least 20 students join. It has no campus placement, so no average pay in LPA is published for it.

Nirma University EDP in Operations Management Course Structure

Term 1 teaches Industry Analysis and Principles of Management, and Term 2 adds Supply Chain Management. Term 3 covers Total Quality Management and ends with a Dissertation.

TermWhat you study
Term 1Industry Analysis, Principles of Management, Introduction to Statistics

The institute has offered these Sunday diplomas since 1999. Each term ends with 6 hours of exams.

Should you pick EDP in Operations Management at Nirma University?

This course suits working people in plants, stores or supply chains who want a management base without leaving their job.

Pick it if:
You cannot take leave from your job: classes are only on Sundays from 9 AM to 5 PM, so you keep working all week.
You want classmates from Gujarat industry: past operations students came from TCS and Electrotherm, and every classmate has at least 2 years of work.
You want a diploma with a long record: the institute has offered these Sunday diplomas since 1999, and the university holds NAAC A+.
Your budget for the course is small: the tuition fee is INR 46,000, and you can pay it in two parts of INR 23,000.
Skip it if:
You want a new job through campus placement: this course has no campus placement, so a job change has to come from your own search.
You live far from Ahmedabad: every class is on the campus with no online option, so you travel there on 33 Sundays.
You need the course to start for sure: it starts only if at least 20 students pick Operations Management, so the batch may not start.
You want an MBA degree: this is a diploma of 18 credits and 180 hours, not a degree, so it does not count as an MBA.
Counsellor's advice
If your company will pay the fee, ask HR for the letter before the form opens. If you pay yourself, pay the first INR 23,000 only after the office says your batch will start.

In short
LIBA charges about twice the fee for a supply chain diploma with classes on Saturday and Sunday in Chennai. If you live and work in Gujarat, take Nirma; if you are based in Chennai, LIBA is the closer choice.
In short
IISWBM charges INR 1.10 Lakhs for a year of Saturday classes in supply chain and logistics. If you live near Kolkata, it is the closer choice; if you live in Gujarat, Nirma costs much less.
In short
Garware costs more, asks for a written test and lists this diploma as full time on its site. If you must keep your job, take Nirma; pick Garware only if you live in Mumbai and can attend its class times.
In short
AMA gives a short supply chain certificate of 10 weeks, not a diploma. If you only want a quick start, try AMA first; if you want a full diploma of 180 hours, take Nirma.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Nirma University EDP in Operations Management

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is this course worth the fee for a working person?▾
Yes, if you want a management base in operations without leaving your job. The full fee is INR 53,500 before GST for 33 Sundays and 180 contact hours. It does not come with campus placement, so ask your company first how it will count the diploma for a raise or a new role.
Will this diploma get me a new job or a promotion?▾
Not on its own. The course has no campus placement and no average pay is published for it. Past operations students came from TCS and Electrotherm and used it inside their own company. Talk to your manager before you apply, so the diploma fits a role you can move into.
Who should take this course?▾
It suits people with at least 2 years of work in plants, stores, purchase, quality or supply chains who can give every Sunday for about 10 months. You study supply chain, project management and quality, then write a dissertation. If you cannot attend most Sundays, wait until you can.
Who should not take this course?▾
Skip it if you want an MBA degree, campus placement or online classes. This is a diploma of 18 credits, every class is on the Ahmedabad campus, and there is no placement support. If you need a degree for a job rule, look at a part-time degree instead.
Should I pick Operations Management or another EDP domain at Nirma?▾
Pick Operations Management if your work is in production, purchase, stores, quality or logistics. The institute also offers Business Analytics, Marketing, Finance and HR domains on the same Sundays. If your job is mainly data work, Business Analytics fits better. Pick the one your manager will use.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Only a little. It gives you 18 credits and a dissertation, which shows you can study again, but it is a diploma and not a degree. If you plan a full MBA or a PhD later, use the dissertation to build a real project from your own workplace.
Should I wait a year to get more work experience first?▾
No, if you already have 2 years of work after your degree by the cut-off date. More years help you talk in the interview, but they are not needed. If you are short of 2 years, you must wait, because the rule is strict.
Is it safe to pay before the batch is confirmed?▾
Not always. The course starts only if at least 20 students pick Operations Management. The tuition fee is INR 46,000, paid in two parts of INR 23,000. Ask the EDP office in writing if your batch will start before you pay the first part.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online on the institute website and pay the form fee of INR 1,250 plus GST before the last date. You then attend one personal interview. The institute offers seats on your interview, work and past marks. You join by paying INR 23,000 of tuition and INR 12,500 of joining fees.
What is the total fee for the course?▾
The full fee is INR 53,500 before GST: tuition, registration, eligibility and exam fees. With 18% GST on tuition and the form fee, it comes to INR 63,255. You also pay a security deposit of INR 5,000, which comes back at the end. The fee block above shows both totals.
Can my company pay the fee for me?▾
Yes. The brochure asks companies to sponsor their staff, because classes are on Sundays and you stay at work all week. If your company pays the full fee of INR 53,500, you pay nothing yourself. Ask HR for a sponsorship letter before the form opens.
Is there a scholarship for this course?▾
No. Nirma does not offer a scholarship on this course. You can cut the cost with employer sponsorship or pay the tuition fee in two parts of INR 23,000. Use the scholarship calculator above to see what you pay if your company covers part of it.

Nirma University: 1 Answered Question

What is your preference for NMIMS Bangalore, TAPMI, KJ, and Nirma for an MBA course?

Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

If you are 25-26 years of age, I would suggest you go for one more attempt along with your job. If you even get into TAPMI with this much experience there are high chances that you will not get a good placement. 

Having this much work experience, you can go for MBA from BLACKI (Banglore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Kozhikode, Indore), XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, and other premium institutes. 

These institutes can easily offer a package of more than 25 lacs and even a good strategy and consulting profile and plus you can get a tag for a lifetime which will help you to accelerate your career.
