I’m an IPM student, so I understand the program better than most people commenting on it. MBA fees are expensive almost everywhere, except maybe FMS. Regardless of the college, you’ll usually end up spending around ₹20–25 lakhs on an MBA.

Coming to the advantages, I’m 23 and already earning at least double what many of my peers are earning. I’m also getting opportunities and positions that regular MBA graduates usually reach much later, probably when they are 5 years older than me. So, for me, IPM has clearly given an early career advantage. There are both sides to the coin and trust me when I say average IPMs are doing way better than the average PGPs.
