Manipal Academy Dubai Fees 2027-28: What the Official Table Says
Manipal Academy Dubai fees for the September 2027 batch had not been published when I checked, so the latest official table is the one for the September 2026 batch. This guide uses it as the baseline. Every figure below is annual tuition inclusive of 5% VAT, taken from MAHE Dubai’s fee page, converted at Rs.26 per AED.

The Manipal University Dubai fees structure separates annual tuition, one-time charges, hostel, and transport, and this guide covers each in turn. The fee page links to the September 2025 to February 2026 fee brochure, which listed BTech day at AED 53,235 and BBA day at AED 47,775. The September 2026 brochure lists AED 57,750 and AED 50,925, a rise of about 8.5% and 6.6%. I opened the live fee page and both brochures on 15 October 2026, and the live table is the September 2026 batch.
If you read our Manipal Academy Dubai acceptance rate guide, the fee table there now follows the same 2026 figures.
Counselor insight: Budget with a buffer for September 2027. If BTech day rose 5%, for example, tuition would be about AED 60,638 (Rs.15.77 lakh). That is an illustration based on the 5% to 8.5% tuition rises between the two brochures, not a published fee.
Manipal University Dubai Fees for BTech: Courses and Fees for BTech
The Manipal University Dubai fees BTech figure is the same across day programmes: AED 57,750 a year (Rs.15.02 lakh), or AED 231,000 (Rs.60.06 lakh) over four years. MAHE Dubai's BTech Computer Science and Engineering page shows the same AED 57,750 tuition and AED 3,150 registration fee. That covers Civil, Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Financial Technology, Electrical and Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics, and Robotics and AI.
The evening BTech programmes for Civil, Electrical and Electronics, and Mechanical cost AED 45,150 a year (Rs.11.74 lakh) over three years, a total of AED 135,450 (Rs.35.22 lakh). They list September and February intakes.
For the Manipal University Dubai courses and fees for the BTech question, the main choice is day or evening, since the day programmes share one price.
Manipal University Dubai Fees for BBA, BCom, and BCom ACCA
The Manipal University Dubai fees BBA figure is AED 50,925 a year (Rs.13.24 lakh) for the day programme and AED 43,575 (Rs.11.33 lakh) for the evening programme. A three-year day BBA costs AED 152,775 (Rs.39.72 lakh).
The Manipal University Dubai bcom fees are AED 44,100 a year (Rs.11.47 lakh) for BCom Professional. The Manipal University Dubai BCom ACCA fee structure adds an ACCA fee of AED 12,600 (Rs.3.28 lakh) beside the tuition, so the listed cost is AED 56,700 (Rs.14.74 lakh). The university states that ACCA exam fees are not included.
The Manipal University Dubai ACCA fees are AED 12,600 in addition to tuition. ACCA exam fees are separate, and MAHE Dubai does not itemise them. Ask admissions for current charges and whether the AED 12,600 applies every year.
Other Manipal University Dubai Courses and Fees
The table covers the remaining undergraduate programmes people compare, from the same September 2026 fee table. It includes the Manipal University Dubai b arch fees, the Manipal University Dubai architecture fees for design courses, the Manipal University Dubai biotechnology fees, and the closest option to a BCA.
| Programme | Duration | Annual tuition (AED) | Annual tuition (INR) | Total tuition (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| BSc Information Systems (Evening) | 3 years | 43,575 | Rs.11.33 lakh | Rs.33.99 lakh (AED 130,725) |
For the Manipal University Dubai bca fees question, MAHE Dubai's programme list does not include a BCA, so there are no BCA fees to quote. BSc Information Systems is the nearest programme, and admissions can confirm how it compares for your plans. At the postgraduate level, MSc Medical Biotechnology and MSc Molecular Biology and Human Genetics cost AED 45,675 a year (Rs.11.88 lakh).

Manipal Academy Dubai Fees After Scholarships
Scholarships reduce Manipal Academy Dubai fees on tuition only, and the university's 2026-27 scholarship page lists these awards for the 2026-27 admission year. The 2027-28 tiers had not been published when I checked on 14 October 2026:
| Scholarship | Who qualifies | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate merit | CBSE or ISC above 95%, 90% to 95%, 80% to 89%, 70% to 79% | 30%, 25%, 20%, 15% |
| Postgraduate merit | UG degree with 70%+ (under 3 years' experience) or 60%+ (over 3 years) | 10% |
| MBA | Same score bands | 15% |
| Sports | National or State team players | 5% to 50% for the first year |
| Alumni | MAHE Dubai undergraduates | 25% waiver |
| Mahila Sarvashiksha Abhiyan | Eligible Indian girls in the UAE | 100% UG tuition waiver |
To keep a scholarship, you need a minimum 7 CGPA, no backlogs, and no disciplinary action in the previous year. The final scholarship is confirmed after your final results.
Counselor insight: The scholarship applies to tuition only and requires a 7 CGPA to continue, so model year two before you rely on the four-year savings.
Worked example: a 30% scholarship on BTech day tuition cuts year one from AED 57,750 to AED 40,425 (Rs.10.51 lakh), a saving of AED 17,325 (Rs.4.50 lakh). Over four years at unchanged fees, that is AED 161,700 (Rs.42.04 lakh).
For comparison, see the BITS Pilani Dubai scholarship guide.
Total Cost of a Degree: Which Manipal Academy Dubai Fees Plan Fits You
This table adds tuition, housing or transport, the student visa, and one-time charges for four common situations, using the September 2026 figures. One-time charges are the application and registration fee, the AED 500 caution deposit, the alumni fee (AED 105 with VAT), the AED 3,000 visa deposit, and the AED 1,000 hostel deposit for hostel students. The deposits are refundable, so the cash you need up front is higher than the lasting cost.
| Year-one cost item (AED) | If you are a BTech day, hostel (double) | If you are a BTech day, commuting | If you are a BBA day, hostel (double) | If you are a BBA day, commuting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition | 57,750 | 57,750 | 50,925 | 50,925 |
| Hostel (double, with VAT) | 34,650 | None | 34,650 | None |
| Transport (Sector 2, two semesters) | None | 5,200 | None | 5,200 |
| Visa including health insurance (from outside UAE) | 5,460 | 5,460 | 5,460 | 5,460 |
| One-time charges (application, caution deposits, alumni fee) | 7,755 | 6,755 | 7,755 | 6,755 |
| Year-one total (AED) | 105,615 | 75,165 | 98,790 | 68,340 |
| Year-one total (INR) | Rs.27.46 lakh | Rs.19.54 lakh | Rs.25.69 lakh | Rs.17.77 lakh |
| Later-year total (AED) | 99,750 | 70,300 | 92,925 | 63,475 |
| Later-year total (INR) | Rs.25.93 lakh | Rs.18.28 lakh | Rs.24.16 lakh | Rs.16.50 lakh |
Later-year totals use the in-country visa charge of AED 7,350 for renewals, which is my assumption, so confirm it with admissions. The table omits food, personal costs, flights, ACCA exam fees, and the AED 850 degree certificate fee at graduation. A scholarship reduces only the tuition line.

What to Do If Manipal Academy Dubai Fees Exceed Your Budget or Change
If the Manipal Academy Dubai fees are above your budget, compare the evening and day versions of your programme, and check which scholarship tier your marks earn.
If the September 2027 Manipal Academy Dubai fees show a rise, recalculate your four-year total with the new figure and check whether your scholarship percentage applies to the new tuition.
If you may lose a scholarship, remember that continuation requires a 7 CGPA and no backlogs, so plan your first-year studies around this.
The fee page says annual tuition is payable in four installments, with the first payment accompanied by no more than three post-dated cheques, so ask the office for the due dates. MAHE Dubai says it does not provide educational loans, but that as a KHDA-listed institution, its students may be eligible for loans from banks in the UAE. Some Indian lenders, such as Credila, list Manipal Dubai among the institutions they finance, so ask your lender. Because the application fee is non-refundable, confirm eligibility before paying.
For options after study, see our guide to the UAE Golden Visa for Indian citizens.
