Applying to IIFT, Rohtak, and SPJIMR (if you select multiple programs) will easily burn a ₹10k hole in your pocket before you even sit for the interviews. The hidden cost of CAT prep is insane.

Shoutout to IIT Bombay (SJMSOM) for actually reducing the application fee from a flat ₹2,000 to ₹1,600 for general and splitting it for categories. That is an absolute rarity in MBA admissions.

Look at TISS completely restructuring their fee brackets. Lowering the general fee but doubling the SC/ST fee is a massive structural shift compared to the previous cycle.
