The total PGDM programme fee at FORE School of Management, New Delhi (FORE) is ₹23,24,000 for the self-sponsored category. That is the fee for the 2026-28 batch. FORE's admissions portal for the 2027-29 batch lists the same ₹23.24 lakh, and FORE's PGDM page for the 2027 intake lists ₹23,24,000. This covers all four two-year programmes equally: PGDM, PGDM(IB), PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA). This is a two-year total, not an annual charge. A one-time ₹23,000 registration fee applies on top. That takes the all-in cost to roughly ₹23.47 lakh.
| Course | Total tuition fees |
|---|---|
| PGDM (6 Courses) | ₹11.5 L – 23.2 LGet Fee Details |
| Fee components | Amount (for 2 years) |
|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹11.5 L – 23.2 L |
| Total fee | ₹11.5 L – 23.2 L |
These are estimated fees. The amount depends on the course chosen, and actual values may differ.
FORE prices the same four two-year PGDM programmes identically, and prices the company-sponsored category higher than the self-sponsored one.
| Programme | Self-Sponsored Fee (2026-28) | Company-Sponsored Fee (2026-28) |
|---|---|---|
| PGDM | ₹23,24,000 | ₹27,83,750 |
| PGDM (IB) | ₹23,24,000 | ₹27,83,750 |
| PGDM (FM) | ₹23,24,000 | ₹27,83,750 |
| PGDM (BDA) | ₹23,24,000 | ₹27,83,750 |
| PGDM (HHM), Gurugram | ₹23,24,000 | Not published |
| PGDM (Working Professionals) | ₹11,50,000 | Not applicable |
The programme fee covers tuition, examination fees, extra and co-curricular activities, library and reading material, and IT services. It also covers a complimentary International Immersion Programme (IIP) with a partner institution abroad. Selected students can opt for an enhanced two-week IIP+ instead. It does not cover hostel, mess or the one-time registration fee.
Why is the company-sponsored fee higher than the self-sponsored fee? FORE charges a higher rate, ₹27,83,750 against ₹23,24,000. This applies when a sponsoring employer pays the fee, not the candidate or family. FORE does not state why the two fees differ.

Beyond the programme fee, every admitted student pays a one-time ₹23,000 registration fee, which itself breaks into five components:
₹5,000
Security Deposit
Refundable
₹3,000
Library Security
Refundable
₹2,500
Journal Subscription
Covers 2 years
₹5,000
Medical Insurance + Personal Accident Cover
Covers 2 years
₹7,500
Student Activities Charges
Two of these five components, the ₹5,000 Security Deposit and the ₹3,000 Library Security, are refundable. The ₹15,000 balance (Journal Subscription, Medical Insurance and Student Activities) is not.
An application fee also applies before admission. It scales with how many FORE programmes a candidate applies to in one cycle:
Each figure is exclusive of 18% GST, per FORE's 2025-26 Admission Brochure. FORE's admissions portal for the 2027-29 batch lists the same ₹1,500 for one programme and ₹500 for each additional programme. It lists ₹3,000 for all five regular programmes, including PGDM(HHM).
Hostel and mess costs sit outside the programme fee entirely. FORE does not own a hostel. It coordinates leased accommodation near both campuses. These are the 2026-27 charges for a year, with breakfast and dinner:
| Campus | Double Sharing | Single Occupancy |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi (boys and girls hostels, Adchini) | ₹1,95,000 | ₹3,10,000 |
| Gurugram (Sector 38) | ₹1,90,000 | ₹3,00,000 |
The Gurugram hostel also serves lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Students pay electricity at ₹10 a unit in both cities. The Delhi hostels also charge ₹400 a month as maintenance.
Does the FORE fee include hostel charges? No, hostel and mess are billed separately from the ₹23,24,000 programme fee. Budget ₹1,90,000 to ₹3,10,000 a year extra, depending on city and room type, per FORE's 2026-27 hostel pages.
FORE follows the AICTE refund policy for withdrawal cases. Its Mandatory Disclosure, updated 4 December 2025, says FORE follows the AICTE refund policy strictly. FORE's PGDM page says the same. FORE does not itemise a FORE-specific refund slab. A candidate withdrawing after admission should check the current AICTE refund circular directly.
FORE's 2025-26 Admission Brochure states the ₹23,24,000 programme fee as a two-year total. FORE's PGDM page says the fee is paid in four instalments. The first instalment is due by the date in the offer letter. FORE's Academic Office sets the dates for the second to fourth instalments. FORE does not publish the amount of each instalment. The PGDM(Working Professionals) fee is paid in three instalments. A candidate needing exact dates should ask FORE's admissions office at the time of the offer.
FORE's total fee is ₹23.47 lakh, with the registration fee. The 2024-26 batch had a median CTC of ₹16.2 lakh. The fee equals about 17 months of that median pay.
