PMP Certification Cost in India: Fees, Courses and the Next Step

• A first PMP in India totals ₹46,876 plus membership dues for a PMI member and ₹74,958 for a non-member, with the exam fee and a 35-hour course included (Princeton Academy's own page, as of 9 November 2026).
• Whether GST (Goods and Services Tax) is added on top is settled by your PMI payment screen.
• The course is the part you can shop for, and its price varies several-fold between providers.
• If you hold a PMP and want the PgMP®, PMI's exam fee is US$800 (members) or US$1,000 (non-members). Our fees are US$199, US$549 or US$1,000, and no PMI fee is included in them.

A first PMP in India costs ₹46,876 plus membership dues if you join PMI first and take Princeton Academy's 35-hour course, and ₹74,958 if you do not join, as of 9 November 2026. Both totals are before any GST that PMI may add to its own fees.

The Princeton Academy course page lists both totals, the exam fees and the course price. Its course includes 35 contact hours, mock exams and application support. The subtotals check: 27,406 + 19,470 = 46,876, and 55,488 + 19,470 = 74,958.

If PMI does add 18% GST to its fees, the subtotals become ₹51,809 and ₹84,946. That is 27,406 × 1.18 = ₹32,339 plus the course for members, and 55,488 × 1.18 = ₹65,476 plus the course for non-members (our arithmetic).

Princeton Academy's course page lists PMI's PMP exam fee in India as ₹27,406 for members and ₹55,488 at full price, as of 9 November 2026. The gap is ₹28,082 (55,488 − 27,406, our arithmetic). Confirm the amount on PMI's PMP page and at checkout before you pay.

Whether GST is added to PMI's fee is settled by the final payment screen in your PMI account. Do not budget from a page that does not say which it is doing.

A retake is a separate PMI fee.

Join before you pay the exam fee, because the discount applies at the point of payment. That is our recommendation, not a PMI rule we have quoted.

Our guide to the PMI membership fee in India sets out what the membership price pages quote.

Princeton Academy lists ₹16,500 plus 18% GST, ₹19,470 in total, for live instructor-led classes. PMI requires 35 hours of project management education before you apply, and the course is the only part of the total you can shop for.

We do not sell a PMP course, so the figure here is another provider's.

What moves the price, in our reading:

• PMI membership. It moves the exam fee by ₹28,082.
• Format. Live instructor-led classes and self-paced courses are priced differently.
• What is bundled. Mock exams, a question bank, application support and a re-attend guarantee all sit inside some prices and not others.
• Tax. A price shown with GST and one shown without differ by 18%.
• A retake. It is a separate PMI fee and is not in any course price.

Ask for five things in writing and score each one pass or fail. A quote that fails any of the first three cannot be compared with another quote, however low the headline price.

For live PMP classes, also ask the provider to show its PMI Authorized Training Partner status in writing. Our guide to checking PgMP training claims works through the same tests for PgMP providers.

For a PMP holder, the PgMP® (Program Management Professional) costs between US$800 and US$2,000 in total: PMI's exam fee of US$800 for members or US$1,000 for non-members, plus our fee if you want preparation. PMI's fee and ours are separate payments. These totals are our model, before any retake and any tax.

PMI's PgMP exam fees (US$800 member, US$1,000 non-member) and retake fees (US$600 member, US$800 non-member) come from PMI's PgMP handbook, revised March 2024, as set out in PgMP exam fee vs course fee. Check the current fee on PMI's PgMP page. One retake adds US$600 for a member or US$800 for a non-member.

Our prices are in US dollars, per enrolment, as of November 2026, from our Course Store. We sell individual enrolments with no subscription, and digital products are non-refundable.

• Application Writing Support helps you prepare, structure and review your application before submission to PMI, with feedback until your application is approved.
• Self-Paced Mentorship Program gives structured learning, application guidance and exam preparation at your own pace: 24+ hours of video, 1000+ exam prep questions, a live expert-led Q&A session with recording access and a 24 PDU (Professional Development Unit) training certificate. The product page states 6-month access to all course materials.
• Fast Track Program is focused group mentoring for PgMP®, with mock exams, the question bank and a WhatsApp group.

You pay PMI's exam fee only after PMI accepts your application, and PMI's volunteer panel reviews your experience summaries after you pay. The application is therefore the first thing to get right. For what each route includes, read PgMP® certification training in India. PfMP® (Portfolio Management Professional) follows the same pattern, with Self-Paced and Application Writing Support at US$549 and US$199 and Fast Track at US$1,100, covered in our PfMP training guide. If you are choosing between the two credentials, read PfMP vs PMP. Our PgMP exam cost calculator lets you enter your own membership fee and number of retakes.

We offer a free eligibility consultation before you enrol, so you can confirm that PgMP® is the right next step and which route fits you. To book it, write to support@augmentconsultancy.com or call or WhatsApp +91 9816 360 116. When you are ready, enrol through the Course Store.
