About 10 or 11 students a year would get the fee waiver. That assumes a batch like the PGPM and PGPM-HR Batch 2025-27 together, with 529 students. 2% of 529 is about 10.6. The institute lists 25 full-time Ph.D. students for 2024-25. The Ph.D. support applies to full-time students.
The 10 or 11 Students Is Only an Estimate
