Programme Fees

Programme fees mentioned are on Residential basis, unless otherwise specified.

We would strongly encourage candidates to enroll as Residential participants, as the experience of an MDP is optimized in a full-immersion mode. Still, in case a candidate wishes to apply on a Non-Residential basis, the Programme fee for such participant will be Rs. 10,000/- less than the Residential fee. Tax and cess will be charged as applicable.

Programme Venue

For almost all programmes, except where specifically mentioned, the programme venue is Management Development Centre (MDC) inside the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta campus. For Residential participants, we provide accommodation and boarding facilities at the MDC.

Location

Our campus is situated at Joka, on Diamond Harbour Road, towards the extreme southern part of Kolkata. It is about 35 Kms away from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International airport and about 20 kms away from both Howrah and Sealdah Railway Stations. Pre-paid taxis and Radio/App-based Cabs are available at all the above mentioned places to reach Joka, which is quite well known to taxi operators.

Arrival/Departure

In case of Residential Programmes, accommodation for participants is arranged from the evening of the day prior to the commencement of the Programme. Participants are expected to report at the reception of MDC (where their accommodation has been arranged for and intimated in advance) by the evening on the said day. Reception at MDC is manned round the clock.

The Programme will be over by 2.00 p.m. on the last day (unless otherwise specified). Participants are requested to make their travel plan accordingly.

In case any participant(s) is(are) required to stay overnight on the last day, s/he(they) may do so with the approval of the Programme Director. Subject to approval of such requests and availability of accommodation, participants will be allowed to overstay by paying the applicable charges (including taxes, if any) of accommodation and food on the spot, in cash.

Refund of Programme Fees

In case a programme is cancelled by IIM Calcutta owing to factors beyond its control, the programme fee(s) will be refunded to the sponsoring organization/person concerned.

If a ‘confirmed’ participant fails to attend the concerned programme, refunds will be dealt with as per the Institute’s extant policy.

Discount on the Programme fees

A discount of 10% on the Programme fees can be availed by an individual organization if it nominates at least 4 participants for a particular MDP.

Tax and Cess

Tax and Cess are applicable on our MDP fees as per relevant Notification(s) and/or Directive(s) issued by the Government of India, and amended from time to time. Fees quoted are exclusive of Tax and other statutory cess/surcharges, which will be charged extra, as applicable.
