FORE Delhi Courses 2027

FORE School of Management, New Delhi (FORE) runs four two-year, AICTE-approved PGDM programmes: PGDM, PGDM(IB), PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA). It also runs PGDM(HHM) in healthcare, an 18-month PGDM for working professionals and a doctoral-level Fellow Programme. All four two-year PGDM tracks charge the same ₹23,24,000 self-sponsored fee for the 2026-28 batch. FORE's admissions portal for the 2027-29 batch lists the same ₹23.24 lakh. What changes course to course is the seat count, the specialisation and, for PGDM(BDA), the campus.

What Are the Flagship Courses at FORE?

The flagship courses at FORE are the two-year PGDM and the two-year PGDM(FM), which is Financial Management.

🎓FlagshipPGDMThe general two-year full-time programme. It has the largest intake of FORE's four full-time programmes. You enter through CAT, XAT or GMAT.💼FlagshipPGDM (FM)A two-year full-time programme in Financial Management. It has the second-largest intake at FORE. You enter through CAT, XAT or GMAT.

FORE's Mandatory Disclosure, updated 4 December 2025, shows the PGDM with the largest intake and the PGDM(FM) with the second largest. FORE's admission portal shows the same order. In FORE's Placement Report 2025, Marketing (38%) and Finance (29%) were the two biggest specialisations of the 2023-25 batch. All four full-time programmes charge the same ₹23,24,000 fee for 2026-28. Check FORE fees and FORE admission before you choose.

FORE offers multiple distinct programmes across management and research tracks.

Which FORE PGDM has the most seats? The flagship general PGDM has 360 seats on FORE's admission portal, double the next-largest programme, PGDM(FM) at 180. This is the programme most applicants mean when they say "FORE."

FORE's own sources differ on two seat counts. The portal and the programme pages show PGDM at 360 and PGDM(IB) at 60. FORE's Mandatory Disclosure, updated 4 December 2025, and its Admissions FAQ list PGDM at 300 and PGDM(IB) at 120. Both sets total 720 with PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA). Confirm the split with FORE admissions. FORE has also posted no separate seat count for PGDM(Executive).

PGDM(BDA) moved to being offered exclusively out of FORE's Gurugram, Sector 32 campus, not the Delhi campus. A standing notice on FORE's own site says so. FORE's portal also lists PGDM(HHM) and PGDM(WP) at Gurugram. A candidate targeting these programmes should plan for a Gurugram base, not South Delhi.

FORE lists no online PGDM. It lists one online programme for professionals, the GenAI and ML in Healthcare course. FORE describes it as a no-code, hands-on, interactive 100-hour programme held live online on weekends. It sits under FORE's executive education programmes, so it is not a PGDM. Students use FORE's GPU lab machines remotely at no extra fee. The FORE GenAI and ML in Healthcare page lists four modules, and the first is Biostatistics for 15 hours.

Does FORE Offer an Online PGDM or MBA?

No, FORE lists no online PGDM or MBA. The PGDM programmes in the courses list above are full-time programmes. FORE's executive education programmes are short courses for working professionals.

Every FORE PGDM programme needs a recognised bachelor's degree of at least three years. The degree must carry a minimum of 50% marks. FORE's rules name no upper age limit and no required undergraduate stream. The 2024-26 batch had commerce (52%), engineering (16%), science (14%) and arts (13%) graduates. For PGDM(WP), FORE's page sets 45% marks for reserved category candidates.

Beyond the degree, each programme sets its own qualifying entrance-exam percentile:

Does FORE accept a management quota or direct admission? FORE says it has no management quota and admits strictly on merit. Entrance score, personal interview and academic record decide every seat in the main route. FORE also fills NRI, NRI-sponsored and foreign-national seats, and a company-sponsored category, through separate profile-based routes. Work experience is not required for the flagship PGDM, and 67% of the 2024-26 batch were freshers. PGDM(Working Professionals) is different. It requires a minimum of three years of full-time, post-qualification managerial or supervisory experience. See the full FORE admission process and selection weightages for how these criteria combine into a final offer.

The four full-time, two-year PGDM programmes all charge the same ₹23,24,000 self-sponsored fee for the 2026-28 batch. FORE's admissions portal lists ₹23.24 lakh for the 2027-29 batch. That covers PGDM, PGDM(IB), PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA) equally. Add a one-time ₹23,000 registration fee on top. PGDM(Working Professionals), at 18 months, costs ₹11,50,000. This is a course list, not the payment schedule. The year-wise instalment break-up, refund policy and category-wise variation sit on the FORE fee structure and payment schedule page.

Is the FORE fee different for each specialisation? No, PGDM, PGDM(IB), PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA) all cost the identical ₹23,24,000. That is for the two-year, self-sponsored route in the 2026-28 batch. Only the shorter Working Professionals format is priced differently, reflecting its shorter duration.

All four full-time programmes run the standard two-year, six-term PGDM format. PGDM(Working Professionals) runs 18 months across four terms. Classes are in the evenings and on weekends, so candidates stay employed. FORE's site carries only an old notice for a 15-month Executive PGDM, batch 2021-22. No current batch is listed. The FPM and EFPM doctoral tracks require a minimum two years after registration before thesis submission. They allow up to five years to complete, split between coursework and a dissertation.

Can a FORE PGDM be completed faster than two years? Only PGDM(Working Professionals), which runs 18 months. It is shorter than the standard two-year PGDM, PGDM(IB), PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA) tracks.

Does FORE Have a Student Exchange Programme?

Yes. FORE runs a Student Exchange Programme (SEP), and students spend one term of three months at a foreign partner institution. The term is normally in January to March. FORE's PGDM page lists courses studied under exchange programmes among the second-year electives. Selected students get a scholarship grant of ₹1,00,000, and the host institution waives its programme fee. FORE named Rennes School of Business, France, as the host for ten students in January to April 2024. The FORE Student Exchange Programme page does not state the eligibility rules or the credit transfer rules.
