What scholarships are available for IIM Bangalore EPGP students?Any need-based or merit-based options?

EPGP at IIM Bangalore doesn’t come cheap, but there are a few scholarships that can ease the load, especially if your profile stands out early.

The EPGP Admission Scholarship is offered to top-ranked applicants during admission. It usually goes to those with a GMAT score above 700, 8–12 years of impactful work experience, and a strong interview performance. Award amounts typically range from ₹2–5 lakhs.

The Siddhartha Padam Award, given midway through the program, rewards all-round academic and leadership excellence and includes a financial component.

IIMB doesn’t have formal need-based scholarships for EPGP, but some external merit-based awards, like the Citi Woman Leader Award, have been available in the past. Candidates from diverse or non-traditional backgrounds, like public sector, social enterprise, or manufacturing—often have a stronger shot at these scholarships.
