The IIM Amritsar scholarship for MBA students is a tuition award for top CGPA ranks. The ranks count at the end of year one and year two. The MBA fee page lists four groups. The topper of the MBA, the topper of the MBA-BA and the topper of the MBA-HR get one award each. The top four students on a combined list of the three programmes get the other four. Students already covered as toppers are left out of the combined list. The MBA-BA and MBA-HR fee pages carry the same text.
The award equals the full tuition fee for the year in which it is awarded. Take a Batch 2026-28 student who tops the MBA at the end of year one. The yearly programme fee is ₹9,75,000. The IIM Amritsar scholarship amount in that case is the tuition award of ₹7,10,000. The student still owes ₹2,65,000 of other charges, plus mess bills. The fee pages do not say whether the institute pays the award as a refund or a credit. Read the fee structure on the fees page first.
IIM Amritsar keeps a need-based buffer equal to one tuition fee, and it pays this case by case. The institute assesses student applications before it disburses any amount. It also guides students to external need-based schemes. The fee page publishes no income limit, application form or last date for this buffer. That is all the IIM Amritsar scholarship information the fee page gives on this buffer. PM Vidyalaxmi is a loan route and not a need-based scholarship.
The IPM offers a merit award, a merit-cum-means award and, later, MBA-phase awards. It is one of the IIM Amritsar scholarship schemes with two phases. The IIM Amritsar merit scholarship in the IPM goes by CGPA. The IPM scholarship policy has an undergraduate phase and a postgraduate phase. Open the tab for your phase.
The merit award goes to the highest CGPA in the batch in each of the three undergraduate years. The amount is that year's tuition. The merit-cum-means award is ₹2,00,000 for each of up to three students from families with income below ₹8,00,000 a year.
The MSDSM has one fee reimbursement, and the Ph.D. and the Post-Doctoral Fellowship pay monthly fellowships. The Executive MBA fee page lists no scholarship. The cards show the published terms of each IIM Amritsar scholarship and fellowship.
🎓Tuition ReimbursedMSDSMThe first-ranked student of the batch gets second-year tuition reimbursed. The institute withdraws the award if the student gets another scholarship.

IIM Amritsar lists corporate scholarships from HPCL, the CFA Institute, banks and the ICSI. The names these awards. It shows that HPCL sponsors four scholarships of ₹1,00,000 each under an agreement renewed for three years. The convocation list names four recipients of the Special Merit Scholarship by HPCL. The report also lists six MBA-08 students with CFA Program Student Scholarships, without an amount. Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India and the ICSI gave awards at the convocation. The IRM scholarship gives IIM Amritsar candidates 15% off the Level 1 exam of the Institute of Risk Management. The IRM page explains how to claim it.
IIM Amritsar scholarship eligibility rests on CGPA for merit awards and on family income for the IPM aid. The IIM Amritsar merit scholarship needs a top CGPA rank. The table sets out IIM Amritsar scholarship details 2027 for each scheme.
| Scheme | Who qualifies | Extra condition |
|---|---|---|
| MBA family award | Highest CGPA, or top four on the combined list | Toppers are left out of the combined list |
| IPM merit award | Highest CGPA in the batch | CGPA of 3.0 or more, no grade drop, no indiscipline |
| IPM merit-cum-means | Family income below ₹8,00,000 a year | Top three by CGPA among applicants |
| MSDSM award | First rank in the batch | Withdrawn if the student gets other aid |
IIM Amritsar scholarship eligibility for the IPM aid depends on family income. The IPM policy defines family as the student's parents and siblings under 18. It adds a spouse and children under 18. A merit award winner cannot also take the merit-cum-means award in the same year.
IIM Amritsar publishes no merit scholarship based on CAT score or entry marks. The merit awards depend on scholastic achievement, which means CGPA at the end of a year. No IIM Amritsar scholarship ties to a CAT percentile. The admission weights decide who gets a seat, and they do not decide who gets an award. The IIM Amritsar admission page explains those weights. A student must first join the programme, so IIM Amritsar scholarship eligibility starts after admission.
An external scholarship reduces the IPM award by the same amount, and it ends the MSDSM award. Check this rule before you plan your fees. The IPM policy takes a fresh declaration of outside aid before it disburses any award. The MSDSM page says the institute withdraws its award when a student gets another scholarship. It adds that the institute helps the student keep the maximum benefit from the awards obtained. The MBA fee page states no such rule.
The MBA family awards are won again at the end of each year by CGPA rank. No page publishes a renewal CGPA, and the 2.96 figure seen online is on no official page.
Yes. The fee pages link the Scholarships by Ministries route on the National Scholarship Portal. The portal sets its own eligibility.

The IIM Amritsar scholarship information on how to apply is thin, so check IIM Amritsar scholarship eligibility first. The merit awards follow CGPA ranking at the year end. The institute publishes no steps, form or last date for the need-based buffer.

IIM Amritsar publishes no document checklist for its scholarship schemes. The IIM Amritsar scholarship information on papers is limited to a few items. None of the IIM Amritsar scholarship schemes lists a full checklist for the IIM Amritsar scholarship 2027 cycle. This section lists only the named items and adds none.
You need a declaration of outside aid, and some schemes need further papers that the institute has not listed. The IPM policy takes a fresh declaration about any external scholarship before it disburses an award. Bank details or education loan details decide where the IPM award goes. The Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral grants pay on a reimbursement basis against receipts.
The policy sets an income limit of ₹8,00,000 a year. It names no certificate, so ask the institute which proof it accepts.
The fee page names no form or paper. It says only that the institute evaluates student applications.
The fee pages link PM Vidyalaxmi, which is a loan scheme. The fees page covers its detail, and the banks set their own paper lists.
The portal sets its own list. Check it before you apply.
IIM Amritsar selects scholarship winners by CGPA rank at the end of each year. The IIM Amritsar merit scholarship follows CGPA rank in every programme. IIM Amritsar scholarship schemes differ in their tie-break rules. The IPM policy publishes the full tie-break rules. The MBA fee page publishes only the rank groups.
The institute ranks students by CGPA and checks each topper against the conditions. This is how the IIM Amritsar merit scholarship picks its winners. The table shows IIM Amritsar scholarship details 2027 for the order of the IPM merit rules.
| Step | Rule | Scheme |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rank students by CGPA | All |
| 2 | Check CGPA of 3.0, grade drop and conduct | IPM merit |
| 3 | If the topper fails, take the next highest CGPA | IPM |
| 4 | Break a tie by the number of A+ grades | IPM merit |
| 5 | If a tie remains, the Academic Council votes | IPM merit |
If the council is tied, the Chairman of the Academic Council decides. The merit-cum-means tie-break counts the highest letter grades earned in the year. Each topper must also meet the conduct conditions. Selection for the MBA family, the MBA-BA and the MBA-HR follows the CGPA ranks in the fee page. This page does not assume that the MBA family uses the IPM tie-break rules.
