MERIT-CUM-MEANS SCHOLARSHIP [upto 10% OF STUDENTS]

IFMR desires that a meritorious student shall not be denied management education for want of financial ability.

It is envisaged that a student will be able to arrange for Rs 1.50 lakhs from own sources and take a collateral free loan for Rs 7.50 lakhs to pay the first and second installment fee and I year boarding/lodging costs (Rs. 3 lakhs , Rs 5 lakhs and Rs one lakh respectively). Towards paying the third installment fee and II year boarding/lodging costs (Rs. 4 lakhs and Rs one lakh respectively), totaling Rs 5 lakhs, in the second year, it is proposed to provide 50% support by way of a Merit cum Means scholarship at the end of the first year.
Among these students (who have a family income of less than Rs.6 Lakhs per year and not able to offer a collateral security for the full loan), the top 18 students in terms of CGPA at the end of first year, subject to a minimum CGPA of 3.00 at the end of first year, will be eligible for Merit cum Means Scholarship of Rs. Two lakhs and fifty thousand per person.
