What the pay-after-placement model actually is

Under this model you pay a nominal registration and 80 percent of the programme fee upfront; the remaining 20 percent becomes due only after you secure a job through the university's placement process. The university carries part of the outcome risk instead of you carrying all of it upfront.

Eligibility for pay-after-placement

  • Minimum salary to avail the facility should be INR 27,500 per month or more, and it varies by chosen course.
  • The minimum salary figure includes all employment benefits, not just base pay.
  • You may decline a maximum of two job opportunities for which the placement cell shortlists you.
  • You can opt out of the pay-after-placement model before the end of the third semester.

Pay-after-placement is currently available on the online MBA and BBA. It reduces upfront financial pressure but is not a placement guarantee — read the terms carefully before opting in.

What placement support actually includes

  • Personal placement guidance and resume workshops aligned to current market needs.
  • AI-driven interview preparation and one-on-one mentorship sessions.
  • Access to masterclasses with senior industry leaders from firms such as McKinsey, HSBC and Citibank.
  • Live industry projects from day one, intended to strengthen your profile before you interview.

Placement assistance is a support service, not a guaranteed job offer. The pay-after-placement scheme is the university's own way of putting a financial commitment behind that support for eligible students.

How pay-after-placement affects your career decision

If your biggest hesitation about an online MBA or BBA is the uncertainty of getting placed, the pay-after-placement structure reduces your downside because the bulk of the fee becomes due only after you are earning. It does not, however, remove the need to actively engage with the placement process, attend the interviews you are shortlisted for and maintain the minimum eligibility salary once employed.

Where to verify placement claims

Treat university-published average salary figures as directional rather than guaranteed. Ask the admission team for the placement percentage and salary range specific to the batch and specialisation you are joining, not just the headline company logos.
