The reason for IIM Lucknow's fee hike

IIM Lucknow currently ranks 4 among India’s top-B schools. IIM Lucknow had earlier rolled back its fee by 10% which made it Rs 10.8 lakhs. It had maintained the same fee structure until the year 2016. 

The corporate communication and media relations (CCMR) chairperson, Prof Vikas Srivastava, from IIM Lucknow, mentioned that the fee hike is implemented since there had been no fee hikes since 2016. So, the fee hike for new students enrolling for 2020-2022 batch came into existence after the board meeting that was conducted in June 2019. Thus the decision is not sudden and is being announced before the start of the new admission process of the year.  

However, according to the NIRF ranking, even after the fee hike, IIM Lucknow has the lowest fees amongst the top 4 IIMs. NIRF refers to National Institutional Ranking Framework, which is a method to rank institutions in India is adopted by the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development.
