Scholarships at AIMS IBS Business School

Merit Scholarship and Special Recognition

Merit-based support is generally linked to academic achievements, entrance test performance and the quality of the candidate's profile during the interview. Applicants who have strong scores in CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, KMAT or PGCET, or who perform well in the institute's own written test, can ask the admissions team whether they are considered for recognition. Students already enrolled can also look for opportunities that reward consistent performance, leadership, participation in live projects and contribution to events.

Fee Payment and Refund Points

• Fees are charged year-wise, and the MBA programme is structured as two yearly instalments
• The registration or admission charge paid at the time of confirming a seat is non-refundable and non-adjustable
• Candidates receive two to three weeks after the provisional offer to confirm admission
• The institute publishes a cancellation and refund policy that applicants should read before payment

Other Ways to Fund Your Education

Apart from institute-level recognition, families commonly use education loans from banks and financial institutions to cover tuition for MBA and undergraduate programmes. A loan can be useful for the MBA, where the total programme fee is higher, and students can compare interest rates, moratorium periods and repayment terms before choosing a lender. Students belonging to categories that are eligible for government scholarships may also check the National Scholarship Portal and the state scholarship portal of Karnataka to find out whether their course and institute qualify under the schemes currently notified. Eligibility depends on factors such as category, family income and the specific rules of each scheme, so applicants should confirm everything directly with the official portal and the institute.

A practical way to plan is to calculate the total cost of the programme, including tuition, examination and other charges, and then compare it with expected salary outcomes. The institute reports an average package of 6.8 LPA and a highest package of 14.5 LPA, and it highlights a high rank for return on investment, which can help families judge the long-term value of the programme. It is always better to ask for written details of any fee concession before paying the registration amount.

Details of programme costs are available on the fees page, and application steps are explained under admission.
