LBSIM Delhi PGDM General 2027 admissions are open for the Batch 2027-29 of the flagship two-year, full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management at Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management (LBSIM), New Delhi. The LBSIM Delhi PGDM (General) has 180 seats, the largest intake among the four PGDM programmes offered by the institute. The tuition fee for the LBSIM Delhi PGDM (General) is Rs 17.25 lakh for a General seat, as per the LBSIM PGDM Admission Brochure 2027. Candidates are selected on the basis of CAT 2026, XAT 2027 or GMAT scores, followed by an Extempore and a Personal Interview. The PGDM (General) Batch 2024-26 recorded an average CTC of Rs 12.4 LPA. 

LBSIM launched the PGDM (General) in 1995, the year the institute was founded, which makes it the oldest of the four PGDM programmes on the Dwarka campus. The programme is approved by AICTE and accredited by AACSB. NBA first accredited the PGDM (General) in 2007, and the accreditation was renewed in 2025. AIU recognises the LBSIM Delhi PGDM (General) as equivalent to an MBA. Students pick a major from six functional areas, so the programme suits aspirants who want a broad management base before choosing a career track. Two ten-day experiential modules are compulsory: a Rural Immersion with NGOs and an Outbound Leadership Programme with the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation. Dr Jaya Mamta Prosad is the Chairperson of the programme.

The LBSIM Delhi PGDM (General) runs over six trimesters and carries 120 credits. Before Trimester I, every student completes a foundation module that includes Bloomberg Market Concepts and basic statistics. The first year has 23 courses, of which three are domain-specific core courses linked to the chosen major. A summer internship of 8 to 10 weeks follows Trimester III. In the second year, a student builds a major from the three domain-specific core courses and four specialisation electives, adds minor or free electives, and completes a five-month Final Research Project.

In short, the LBSIM PGDM General curriculum pairs a common first year with a major of the student's choice in the second year.

LBSIM offers full merit-cum-means scholarships to selected EWS and meritorious students. The number of awards and the selection rules for Batch 2027-29 are not listed in the brochure, so applicants should ask the admission office when they apply. Fee refunds follow AICTE regulations.
