VGU MBA: the questions people actually ask
The published total is ₹1,27,500 for the complete 2 years programme, or ₹37,500 per semester, which works out to about ₹67,500 a year. Verified against the university's own fee notification on 2026-08-15.
The honest answer depends on what you are optimising for. Compare VGU against LPU Online, NMIMS Online, Chandigarh University on total fee, approval status, specialisation fit and placement support rather than on brand alone. Our side-by-side pages put those parameters in one table so you can see where the extra money actually goes.
Graduates typically move into roles such as Business Manager, Marketing Manager, Financial Analyst. Reported pay for Business Manager sits around 7 – 15 LPA, though an online degree is a qualification rather than a placement guarantee — outcomes depend on your prior experience, specialisation and location far more than on the university name.
EMI is available from ₹6,250 per month, so the fee can be spread across the programme instead of paid upfront. A published concession of up to 15% applies to eligible categories such as defence, divyangjan and merit applicants. Confirm the current scheme with the university before you apply — concessions change each intake.
The standard duration is 2 years. Most Indian universities also allow a maximum period of roughly double that for learners who need to pause, so a working professional can stretch the programme without losing credits. Bachelor's degree
