Do I need to apply separately for BITSoM MBA scholarships or is it automatic?

Not all BITSoM scholarships need a separate application, only one does. Here’s how it works:

  • Merit Scholarship: No extra step. If your scores (like GMAT 700+ or CAT 95+ percentile) and profile are strong, you’ll be automatically considered.
  • Women’s Scholarship: Also automatic. All eligible female applicants are reviewed during the admission process.
  • Merit-cum-Need: This is the only one that needs a separate step. You must fill out the scholarship section in the form, and your family income must be below ₹18 lakh per year.

So unless you're applying based on financial need, there’s no extra application needed for scholarships.

For most BITSoM MBA scholarships, you don’t need to apply separately. The Merit Scholarship and Women’s Scholarship are both automatic. If your profile is strong, like a GMAT above 700, CAT above 95 percentile, or good work experience, you’ll be considered without doing anything extra.

But if you're going for the Merit-cum-Need Scholarship, then yes, you have to fill out the 'Scholarship Section' in the application form. This one also needs proof of income, and your family income should be under ₹18 lakh per year.

So it depends on the type. Just make sure you complete the application carefully so nothing gets missed.
