If you want a full-program number rather than a single year's cost, McMaster University's total estimated MBA fee for international students, across the 20 to 28 month program, runs INR 42.89 lakh to INR 53.54 lakh.

Total Fee Breakdown (20 to 28 Months)

Fee ComponentAmount
TuitionINR 33.77 L - 44.42 L
HostelINR 9.01 L
OthersINR 10.35 K
Total feeINR 42.89 L - 53.54 L

Why the Range Is So Wide

The gap between INR 42.89 lakh and INR 53.54 lakh mostly comes from tuition, which itself varies with your program format and specialisation. Hostel costs stay fixed at INR 9.01 lakh regardless of which MBA track you choose.

My Advice

Budget toward the higher end of this range if you are unsure which format you will land in, so you are not caught short later. These are estimated figures, so confirm your exact program cost with McMaster once you have an offer.
