Students can apply for merit-cum-means based scholarships under existing SPJIMR scholarship plans. In an earlier interview, PGDM programme head Dr.Atish Chattopadhyay said “We already had a merit-cum-means scholarship so that no student is denied education because of funding issues. This year, we instituted a very interesting merit scholarship-the idea was those who are really meritorious should get the best exposure–so the top 20 students in the batch will be provided funding for doing a full semester exchange in one of our top partnering schools in the US-they get their airline travel, visa and living expenses covered when they go for exchange,this again is something very unique to SPJIMR.”The admissions process for international applicants and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) is still on and a list of international candidates will be released separately later.
