The IIM Jammu scholarship for the MBA is a need-cum-merit tuition waiver of 25%, 50% or 100% in the second year. You need a first-year CGPA of at least 7.00 and a family income of up to ₹5 lakh. This page gives IIM Jammu scholarship details 2027 for each programme, from the 2026 handbook and fee pages.
The IIM Jammu scholarship has four forms: a fee waiver, government scholarships, fee concessions and a Ph.D. fellowship. The waiver is the main one for MBA students. The table shows IIM Jammu scholarship schemes by programme.

Rules You Must Keep Meeting
You must have no discipline case, and you must hold no other scholarship or financial support. You must meet all the criteria throughout the second year to keep the waiver.
These are government schemes, so the ministry sets the rules. Students apply to the Ministry of Social Justice, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs or the Ministry of Minority Affairs through the NSP portal. Minority scholarships depend on family income.

IIM Jammu scholarship documents prove your income and your grades. The handbook does not print a checklist, so the table lists the usual proof for each IIM Jammu scholarship route. Confirm it with the desk.
| Route | Usual documents |

The IIM Jammu scholarship goes to students who meet the CGPA and income rules, up to a cap of 10% of the batch. The handbook does not describe a ranking formula. It names the limit and the conditions, which the checklist below lists.
The handbook does not say how the institute ranks students then. Since merit is part of the scheme's name, a higher CGPA is likely to help, but ask the scholarship desk to confirm.
IIM Jammu does not publish how many students got a scholarship, but the handbook caps it at 10% of the batch. For a batch of about 300, that is up to 30 students, as a calculation. The table shows the most a student can save in year two, from the tuition of ₹7,18,905. These IIM Jammu scholarship details are calculated from the handbook.
| Income band | Waiver | Tuition saved |
|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹3,00,000 | 100% | ₹7,18,905 |
| ₹3,00,001 to ₹4,00,000 | 50% | ₹3,59,453 |
| ₹4,00,001 to ₹5,00,000 | 25% | ₹1,79,726 |
The Ph.D. fellowship also carries a ₹40,000 yearly contingency grant, a one-time ₹70,000 laptop grant and up to ₹2,00,000 for conferences. The Indian Army MoU of 27 July 2026 also mentions scholarships and fee concessions for eligible Army personnel, with no amounts yet.
The count is not published. The cap is 10% of the batch, and the waiver needs a CGPA of 7.00, so the number is small. Ask the desk for last year's count.
