The EPGP, IIM Bangalore's one-year MBA for experienced professionals, charges ₹2,650,000 in tuition for the EPGP 2026-27 batch, plus an international immersion billed at an indicative ₹550,000, for ₹3,200,000 before living costs, about $33,585. The institute bills the campus hostel and mess but publishes no budget for the rest of a year's living costs, so this page shows no total cost and no payback for the reference person earning $90,000. The class graduating in 2026 reported a median base salary of ₹3,650,000, without saying how much of it is fixed and how much variable. Converted to dollars that median is $38,308, lower than the $90,000 the site assumes before the MBA, so the reference person is the wrong yardstick here in any case. Type your own current salary and a monthly budget in the calculator: for most Indian managers the salary before the program is far lower, and the result changes completely. What sets the EPGP apart is its tilt to consulting: 50% of the class went there, ahead of technology at 29%.
A consulting pipeline from a one-year class
Of the 73 students of the 2025-26 batch, 50% joined consulting, 29% technology and 10% financial services; manufacturing, health care and a few others took the rest. The recruiters list mixes the large advisory firms with analytics and technology services: Accenture (ATCI, D&AI, S&C), Accordion, Alvarez & Marsal, D. E. Shaw, EXL, EY-Parthenon, Flipkart and Genpact. Our consulting ranking cannot place the EPGP without a full living budget, so compare it on share alone.
The report has gaps. It gives no salary by sector, no split by job function and no breakdown by city or country, and it does not say how many students sought a job through the institute or by what date offers were counted. It is not audited under the Indian Placement Reporting Standards, unlike the IIM Ahmedabad PGPX report. The median is useful as a level, less so as a promise.

Your salary, not the reference one
The calculator at the top starts from $90,000 a year before the MBA, a figure meant for the American and European schools on this site. For the EPGP it leads nowhere, since the median after the program is lower than that starting salary. Replace it with what you earn today, in dollars at the current rate, keep the school's median as the salary after the degree or type the offer you expect, and add a living budget: the hostel and mess the institute bills, plus your own food beyond the mess, travel and personal costs. The ₹550,000 immersion is an estimate that the institute limits to actual travel, stay and partner-school fees.

Scholarships and family housing
The institute offers a merit tuition waiver of ₹800,000 to the top rank holders of each admission round, a small number of awards for the whole batch. Students who live with family outside the campus pay more than the hostel rate, which the institute shows in its own fee table. The one-year MBA ranking and the Asia ranking compare the EPGP with ISB and the other short programs.
