Financial Aid and Scholarships

Financial Aid

IIMV extends financial aid to students in need of assistance. The objective of the Financial Aid Policy at IIMV is to ensure that no student is deprived of education at the institute for financial reasons. All PGP students with annual household income below INR 6,00,000/- (Rupees Six Lakh only) are eligible to apply for financial aid. Other students with financial difficulties arising from sudden unforeseen circumstances are also considered.

2.     Household Savings

3.     Real Estate Assets

4.     Other Assets

Based on this score, some of the students are called for personal interaction with a faculty panel. During the interaction, the faculty panel evaluates the financial need of the student, as well as establishes the genuineness of the details provided by the student in the application and assign a Financial-need Score. Based on the weighted average of these two scores, applicants are provided 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, or 20% financial aid.
