IIFT Delhi Scholarships 2027
IIFT Delhi scholarship 2027 awards should cut costs for a small group, and none covers the full fee. The main scheme is the New Scholarship Scheme. IIFT applies it to the MBA (IB), MBA (BA), MA Economics and the integrated programme. The IIFT Delhi scholarship details below come from the 2026-28 prospectus and the IIFT policy of January 2023.
A Fee Concession Is Not a Scholarship
SC, ST and PwD students get 50% off tuition on the full-time programmes. IIFT calls this a fee concession. It is separate from the means-cum-merit scholarship.
How Much Can an IIFT Delhi Scholarship Save?
The IIFT Delhi scholarship saves 20% of tuition. It does not cover the hostel or other charges, so plan against tuition only. On the MA Economics tuition of Rs 3,50,000, that is Rs 70,000. IIFT does not print tuition for the MBA (IB) apart from the total fee of Rs 21.82 lakh. Work out 20% of tuition after you get the offer letter. The OPJEMS award is a flat Rs 1.5 lakh.
Types of Scholarships at IIFT Delhi 2027
The IIFT Delhi scholarship schemes fall into three groups: IIFT's own scheme, government schemes and outside awards. The cards list each award. They differ in who can apply and who pays.

IIFT Delhi Scholarship Selection Process
A committee scores each applicant, and the highest scores win the IIFT Delhi scholarship. The committee has two senior faculty, an academic officer, a finance officer and a student representative. The score is 70% means and 30% merit. The tables show the bands.
| Family income | Means score |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs 5 lakh | 100% |
| Rs 5 to 6 lakh | 90% |
| Rs 6 to 7 lakh | 80% |
| Rs 7 to 8 lakh | 70% |
| CGPA | Merit score |
|---|---|
| 3.50 or more | 100% |
| 3.00 to 3.49 | 90% |
| 2.50 to 2.99 | 80% |
| 2.00 to 2.49 | 70% |
How Does IIFT Delhi Pick Merit Scholarship Winners?
The final score is 70% of the income score plus 30% of the CGPA score. An income of Rs 4 lakh and a CGPA of 2.2 gives 0.7 x 100 + 0.3 x 70, which is 91. If more students qualify than there are awards, the higher scores win. The prospectus says the scholarship is paid at the end of each trimester or semester. The 2023 policy says after the programme. Ask the cell which rule applies to your batch before you rely on it for your first-year budget.
