The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship for the PGP is a tuition waiver given in year 2 on merit and family income. At least 2% of the batch gets a 100% waiver, and at least 6% gets 25%. Central and state schemes can help you earlier, in year 1. This page gives the IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship details 2027, the eligibility rules and the steps to apply.
The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship 2027 has two institute awards and a list of outside schemes. These IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship details come from the institute's financial aid policy for the PGP. The policy runs aid in year 2, so first-year students use outside schemes. The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship information below covers both. Most students fund the MBA through loans or government scholarships.

The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship suits you if your family income is within ₹8 lakh and your first-year CGPA is at least 2.20. Check twice before you rely on it, because aid starts only in year 2 and covers tuition only. The tabs set out both sides of the IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship.
Yes, but only a few students get the IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship at that level. At least 2% of the batch gets a 100% tuition waiver in year 2. It depends on a merit score built from your first-year CGPA, your admission score and your family income. Your income must be within ₹8,00,000.
The IIM Visakhapatnam merit scholarship has no category criterion, so General and OBC students can apply on merit and income. NC-OBC students can also use the PM YASASVI scheme if family income is within ₹2,50,000. A national scholarship for post graduate studies lists no income limit.
IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship schemes come in three kinds: the institute's tuition waiver, central and state schemes, and programme-specific awards. The PGP students use the first two IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship schemes. The PGPMCI and the Post-Doctoral Fellowship have awards of their own.
IIM Visakhapatnam students can apply for a central scholarship through the National Scholarship Portal. The institute lists these schemes for the academic year 2026-27. Each has its own income limit.
| Scheme | Who It Is For | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Top Class Education for SC Students | SC, income up to ₹8,00,000 | Full tuition plus ₹86,000 |
| National Fellowship and Scholarship for ST Students | ST, income up to ₹6,00,000 | Full tuition plus ₹86,000 |
| PM YASASVI | NC-OBC, EBC, DNT, income up to ₹2,50,000 | Full tuition plus ₹86,000 |
| Top Class Education for Students with Disabilities | PwD, income up to ₹8,00,000 | Up to ₹3.34 lakh |
| National Scholarship for Post Graduate Studies | All categories, no income limit | ₹15,000 a month for 10 months |
The ministry's guideline for the SC scheme pays the ₹86,000 academic allowance in the first year and ₹41,000 in each later year.
State schemes help too. Students of the institute have used Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj (Maharashtra), e-Grantz 3.0 (Kerala), e-Kalyan (Jharkhand), the Tamil Nadu BC, MBC and DNC schemes, and post-matric schemes of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Private awards from SBIF Asha, IDFC First Bank, ONGC and the Siddhartha Foundation also appear on the list.
The route depends on your category and your stage. The accordion shows where each IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship scheme fits.
Apply to the central and state schemes for which you qualify. The institute's own aid is not open yet. A scholarship that pays 100% of tuition for the full course makes you ineligible for the institute's aid.
Apply for the institute's merit-cum-means waiver during the notified period. You need a family income certificate and a first-year CGPA of at least 2.20.
The BPCL Techno-Manager Leadership Scholarship gives 100% tuition for the diploma module to 40 students from partner technical institutes.
Each fellow receives a stipend of ₹75,000 a month and a contingency grant of up to ₹2,00,000.
No. The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship is run in the second year, after students have had the chance to apply for outside scholarships in year 1. Your first-year CGPA decides your eligibility, so keep it above 2.20.
The programme pages of the Executive MBA, EPGDPM and PGDMEx list no scholarship. Ask each programme office before you plan the budget.
IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship eligibility needs four conditions together. These IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship details apply to the institute's own aid. You must be in year 2 of the PGP. Your annual family income for the last financial year must not exceed ₹8,00,000. You need a first-year CGPA of at least 2.20 after Term 3. You must also hold no more than 12 deficit credit points.
Three Things That Rule You Out
You cannot apply if a scholarship already pays 100% of your tuition for the remaining course, if you were put on slow track in year 1, or if you face disciplinary action. Being on the scholarship recipients list kept by the institute counts as selection.
A PGP student in year 2 with a CGPA of 2.20 or more and family income within ₹8 lakh qualifies to apply. Qualifying only lets you apply for the IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship. The merit score decides who receives the waiver. Central schemes have their own limits, listed in the table above.

After Review
Waiver Decided
The merit score ranks applicants, and the 100% and 25% waivers go to the top ranks.
You apply on the portal of the scheme, not through the institute. The institute lists the schemes and the students apply to them directly. Check the last date on each portal early in year 1. The institute can verify what you submit at any stage. False information or fake documents make you ineligible and can bring disciplinary action.
The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship needs a family income certificate for the last financial year. Other documents are asked only if the institute notifies them. The tabs show what each route asks for.
A family income certificate for the immediately preceding financial year, issued by the competent authority. The institute may ask for other papers to verify your details.
The IIM Visakhapatnam scholarship selection process uses a merit score made only of measurable parts. First-year CGPA counts 30%. Your admission merit score counts 30%. Family income counts 40%. The CGPA part is 3 plus 27 times your CGPA above 2.2, divided by the highest CGPA above 2.2.
| Family Income | Score Out of 40 |
|---|---|
| Under ₹2 lakh | 40 |
| ₹2 to 2.99 lakh | 36 |
| ₹3 to 3.99 lakh | 32 |
| ₹4 to 4.99 lakh | 28 |
| ₹5 to 5.99 lakh | 24 |
| ₹6 to 6.99 lakh | 20 |
| ₹7 to 8 lakh | 16 |
The admission merit part is your final merit score at entry multiplied by 0.3.
