FIIB offers one of the most comprehensive and thoughtfully designed scholarship ecosystems among Indian B-schools, with ₹2.5 crore in scholarships available every year. Built on the principles of merit, access, diversity, and inclusion, our scholarships ensure that financial constraints never stand in the way of high-potential learners who are ready to commit to a rigorous, industry-oriented management education.
What makes FIIB’s approach unique is its scale and structure. The institute offers multiple scholarship pathways, each designed to recognize different forms of excellence — academic achievement, entrance-test performance, leadership qualities, regional diversity, financial need, professional experience, and unique accomplishments in sports, arts, innovation, or social impact. Together, these pathways reflect FIIB’s belief that talent is multidimensional, and that an equitable MBA ecosystem must reward more than just marks.
At the core of FIIB’s scholarship philosophy are the ten 100% Tuition-Fee Waivers (equivalent to nearly 75% of the program fee), awarded to applicants who demonstrate exceptional promise. These full waivers fall under two broad categories:
- Merit-Based Excellence Awards, which support high academic achievers and strong performers in competitive exams such as CAT, XAT, and GMAT.
- Need-Based Access Awards, which support academically capable students who require financial assistance, assessed through transparent income documentation.
Beyond the full waivers, FIIB also offers a wide range of partial scholarships that reward excellence and potential across different dimensions. These include:
Merit Scholarships
Designed for students with strong academic records, competitive entrance test scores, and impressive interview performance. These scholarships recognise consistency, curiosity, initiative, and readiness to excel in a rigorous PGDM program..
Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships
FIIB is a proudly women-led institution and believes strongly in representation. These scholarships support candidates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds — including applicants from benchmark disability categories, children of single mothers, defense families, or individuals identifying as third gender/non-binary.
Regional Diversity Scholarships
To strengthen national representation, FIIB offers dedicated scholarships for students from regions such as Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and the North-Eastern states helping expand access and diversify classroom perspectives.
Achievement & Experience Scholarships
These awards celebrate applicants who bring unique value to the FIIB community — whether throughprofessional experience (24+ months corporate experience or ≥12 months in social-sector roles), or state, national, or international-level achievements in academics, sports, arts, community leadership, research, or entrepreneurship.
Entrance-Test Performance Awards
Students with strong CAT/XAT/GMAT scores receive tuition-fee credits ranging from ₹30,000 to ₹1,00,000, recognizing their preparedness and competitiveness.
FIIB’s scholarship decisions follow a transparent and structured process:
- Scholarships tied to admissions are confirmed at the time of offer acceptance.
- Full 100% waivers undergo a detailed evaluation and are announced in Term II after a holistic review.
- All one-time tuition-fee credits are disbursed in Term VI, once students successfully complete program requirements.
