Official IoBM fee-structure page (verified Oct 2026): all bachelor's at Rs 9,800 per credit hour; full load = 6 courses = Rs 176,400 tuition + Rs 10,000 registration = Rs 186,400/semester. One-time Admission Fee Rs 50,000. CS/SE add Rs 58,800 lab charges per semester; Media Studies adds Rs 25,000. Service charge ~3% on payments. Page repeats an older table (Rs 8,910/CH = ~170,380/sem) believed to be for continuing students; current table matches the Fall-2026 MBA rate (Rs 31,800/course), so the first table is the live one.

Per year assumes two semesters; the four-year estimate assumes eight. Some programmes run different credit loads, and campuses can charge different amounts. Confirm the fee on the official page before you budget.
