BITSoM Mumbai MBA Admission 2027: Fees & Placements

Fee structure

The latest published fee is ₹28,55,000 for the whole programme, for the Class of 2028, and it includes accommodation. BITSoM names a batch by the year it graduates, so someone joining in 2027 is the Class of 2029, whose fee is not published yet; fees are subject to change at the institute’s discretion.

No year-wise split is published; the only due date given is that Year 2 fees are payable two weeks before Term 4 starts. Mess and meal charges, books and a laptop of a specified configuration are billed or bought separately. Accommodation is a fully furnished single-occupancy room on campus. The two-week international immersion in Term 4 — with EGADE Business School, IE Business School, London Business School and ESMT Berlin — is optional, runs only if enough students opt in, and is not included in the fee.

The refundable ₹20,000 deposit is returned after graduation, net of dues, and the ₹1,50,000 admission fee is refundable if a student does not enrol. A withdrawal refund is paid only on a written request to [email protected] and carries no interest. For the Class of 2028 it fell in steps from 100% to nothing in the 30 days either side of the notified last date of payment; ask for the Class of 2029 refund schedule with your offer letter. Merit-based, women’s and need-based scholarships are offered, the last on an additional essay and financial documents.

Who gets in — eligibility and test scores

BITSoM asks for a recognised degree in any discipline (final-year students may apply), a CAT, GMAT, GMAT Focus or GRE score (GRE code 2855), and a record of academic and extracurricular achievement. Work experience is not required: 12% of the Class of 2027 were freshers. There is no cutoff — the scores below describe who was admitted, and scores above them do not guarantee admission.

The CAT range runs from 84.17 to 99.12, so a percentile well below the median has been enough, and one above it has not been sufficient on its own. Engineers were 39.8% of the Class of 2028, against 47% of the Class of 2027. Two batch sizes are published for the Class of 2027: 163 and 159.

Placements

The audited Class of 2025, the latest completed cohort, was placed at a ₹21.00 LPA average and ₹20.52 LPA median, both below the Class of 2024; no Class of 2026 final report has been published yet.

Read the denominator: in 2025, 138 placed means 138 of the 144 who sought placement, not 138 of 153. Offers at ₹20 LPA and above went to 81 students in 2025, 92 in 2024 and 95 in 2023. In 2025, 46 firms made offers.

Summer internships, Class of 2027: a ₹4.50 lakh highest stipend, ₹4.06 lakh top-10% and ₹1.90 lakh class average, each for the full two-month internship.

Admission process and dates

Admission runs in three stages — an online application with long-form written questions, a 30–45 minute personal interview with senior leaders from the BITSoM network, and an offer communicated by email — and the MBA 2027-29 has two application rounds.

You may apply once per application year, in only one of the two rounds — each round is a window, not a step, so the choice of round is a single decision rather than a first attempt with a fallback. Both rounds accept CAT, GMAT, GMAT Focus and GRE scores, and an application goes for review only once its test score is entered. If you apply in Round 1 on a CAT score, your calendar is the later CAT track, not the 15 January result date.

Common mistakes

How BITSoM compares

Against the two Mumbai MBA schools with longer records, BITSoM sits between them on fee and below both on placement averages.

BITSoM’s first batch graduated in 2023, so its alumni base is three cohorts old. What it offers in their place is the BITS Pilani degree and a faculty model built on block teaching: each course runs over two or four weeks, which lets visiting faculty from schools such as Kellogg, London Business School, Chicago Booth, Tecnológico de Monterrey and SMU Singapore teach a full course. The trade-off is less scope for multi-year mentoring than permanent faculty give.

Campus

The campus covers 63 acres near Kalyan, with 80% of the space given to greenery. It is fully residential and built for up to 2,000 students, designed by Hafeez Contractor, and runs a zero-discharge scheme with 100% recycled water, energy-saving lighting and solar power. Facilities include an AI Centre, a library, a startup incubation centre, video and podcast studios, a gymnasium and sports complex, a medical room with a 24-hour ambulance and a campus-to-city shuttle; restaurants, a supermarket, a bank branch and a pharmacy are listed as planned. Kalyan is further from the South Mumbai and BKC corporate corridor than city campuses such as SPJIMR and JBIMS, so corporate visits take longer.
