Detail-Oriented Financial Analyst
BITSoM gives out three kinds of scholarships for MBA students, and they’re all based on either merit, need, or diversity.
The Merit Scholarship is considered automatically. If you have a CAT score above 95 percentile, GMAT above 700, or a CGPA above 8, you’re in a strong spot. The selection also looks at your professional track, so things like leading a team or launching a product count.
The Merit-cum-Need Scholarship is for students with solid academic backgrounds but family income under ₹18 lakh per year. You’ll need to fill out a specific section in the application form.
The Women’s Scholarship doesn’t require a separate form either, female applicants with good scores and relevant work experience are automatically considered.
All scholarships cover 15% to 100% of the ₹23 lakh tuition fee, and results are shared before the program begins.
