Fees and Financial Aid:

So the total cost of MBA would come upto 27lakhs for hostel and tuition and other than that mess charges would be around a maximum of 2lakhs for 2years, totalling it to a maximum amount of 30 lakhs for the course. The college also provides need based financial assistance which would open in the month of July for students having annual family income less than 7-8lakhs something. The summers here is a bit good averaging about 1.5lakhs per month and also very helpful for freshers because of the number of freshers here making them almost 40%, the average placements are almost 35lpa and the job roles offered are great making it one of the top three colleges in India.

Fees and Financial Aid:

IIM Calcutta boasts a top-notch MBA program, but the sticker price can make your wallet wince. The total tuition for the two-year course currently hovers around 25 lakhs (ouch!). But before you cry foul, let's explore the hidden gems: IIMC offers a range of scholarships for academic excellence, covering partial to full tuition fees. Think B.P. Poddar Scholarship for toppers or the India Carbon Scholarship for sustainability crusaders. Need-based: Financial aid like grants and loans are available for students demonstrating financial hardship. No shame in the game! External Sponsorships: Many external organizations offer scholarships for specific groups like women or rural students. Research pays off!

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee hike is reducing the affordability of an MBA to a larger section of the population and currently, there is no merit-based scholarship available - however since you will be graduating from one of the top institutes of India and will most likely end up with a high paying job, you can get loans at affordable rates - loans not just cover your MBA fees but loans can be extended for the exchange term that happens in the 2nd year. There are external scholarships that are provided by the government, that can be availed by the students. The placement committee which helps students during the internship and placement cycle also bring live project opportunities where students act as interns and can earn money too while studying, Alongside there are scholarships offered by companies and case competitions organised by companies and other schools which come with a sizeable prize amounts

Fees and Financial Aid:

For my batch, the fees were 23L for the program with hostel and mess charges separate. All in all, we spent anywhere in the range of 25-27L for the course. The cost is high and many students had to take a loan to meet their needs. However, this loan is usually disposed of easily given that the placements here are the best in the country. I did not avail of any financial assistance or scholarship but options for the same are present and are availed by quite a few students. My summer internship was at MX Player where my stipend was 1.5L a month for 2 months.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Fee hikes are common and our subsequent batch has already seen this happen. There are multiple scholarship programs including a prestigious one offered by the Aditya Birla Group though I am unsure as to the extent/nature of assistance provided by these programs. Working full-time during your academic period is strictly prohibited although live projects and the like are allowed. On-campus jobs are limited to tutorship which you can take up in your second year if you have exemplary grades in a course although these are not done primarily for compensation. The most common method of funding is loans granted by banks such as SBI at very attractive rates which can be paid off in a reasonable timeframe considering the average placements through the program.
