Types of Scholarships & Waivers

• Need-based Aid for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) — Students whose family income is below a specified threshold may apply for tuition-fee waiver / financial support under EWS quotas (subject to documentation and approval).

• Merit-based Scholarships & Grants — Based on entrance exam performance (CAT/XAT/CMAT/GMAT) or academic excellence, some scholarships or fee reductions are awarded.

• Interim / Academic-Performance Scholarships — For students who perform very well in Year 1, additional scholarship support (partial or fixed amount) may be awarded for the second year.

• Special-Category / Diversity / Other-Based Aid — Scholarships or fee concessions may also be provided to students from under-represented backgrounds, special social categories, or those with other merits (for instance, extracurricular achievements, sports, defence/armed-forces background, etc.), depending on institute policy.
