Institute of Management Technology Hyderabad (IMT Hyderabad) recognizes the importance of financial assistance in making quality management education accessible to deserving and talented students. Keeping this vision alive, the institute offers a range of scholarship programs to support meritorious and needy students throughout their academic journey. These scholarships help reduce the financial burden on students and encourage academic excellence, diversity, and inclusiveness on campus.
IMT Hyderabad provides various types of scholarships broadly categorized as follows:
Merit-Based Scholarships
These scholarships reward academic excellence, outstanding entrance exam scores, and holistic achievements in extracurricular and leadership domains. Candidates who demonstrate exceptional performance in CAT, XAT, GMAT, or other qualifying exams, as well as high academic standards in prior education, are eligible.
Need-Based Scholarships
To support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the institute offers scholarships based on financial need. These are designed to ensure that capable students are not deprived of education due to monetary constraints. Applicants must provide financial documentation and proof of income.
Government Scholarships
IMT Hyderabad facilitates access to various state and central government scholarships, such as the Post-Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Minority scholarships. These schemes are governed by government norms and require candidates to apply directly through government portals or with institute assistance.
Private and Corporate Scholarships
In collaboration with corporate sponsors, alumni networks, and philanthropic organizations, IMT Hyderabad offers scholarships funded by private donors. These are usually merit-cum-need scholarships aimed at promoting education and skill development.
The eligibility requirements for scholarships at IMT Hyderabad vary with the type of scholarship:
Merit-Based Scholarships require candidates to achieve specified entrance exam percentiles (usually above 90 percentile in CAT, XAT, GMAT) or maintain high academic scores in their previous qualifications. Strong overall profiles including leadership and extra-curricular accomplishments are favored.
Need-Based Scholarships require submission of family income proofs and other documents verifying financial hardship. Candidates with household income below a specified limit set by the institute or government agencies qualify.
Government Scholarships follow strict government eligibility norms which include caste certificates, income limits, domicile status, and enrollment in recognized courses.
Private Scholarships have criteria based on academic prowess as well as socio-economic factors, sometimes including community representation or location-based conditions.
Applicants may be required to fulfill multiple conditions such as attendance, behaviour, and academic performance to continue receiving scholarships in subsequent years.
The scholarship application process at IMT Hyderabad involves the following steps:
Applicants for merit and need-based scholarships must indicate their interest during the admission process by filling relevant forms available on the official website or admission portal.
Supporting documents such as entrance exam scorecards, academic transcripts, income certificates, caste/community certificates, and any other prescribed documents should be uploaded during the application.
Scholarship applications are reviewed by a dedicated committee that verifies details and conducts interviews if necessary.
For government scholarships, students can apply separately as per government instructions, and the institute assists in documentation and verification.
Private scholarship applications may require additional forms or personal statements.
Selected candidates are notified via email or official communication within a stipulated timeline following admission confirmation.
Scholarships awarded at IMT Hyderabad typically cover one academic year initially. Renewal of scholarships for subsequent years is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance, adherence to institute policies, and continued financial need.
Merit scholarships require the maintenance of a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) or equivalent academic criteria to be renewed each year.
Need-based scholarships may require re-submission of income-related documents annually to confirm eligibility.
Scholarship benefits can include full or partial tuition fee waivers, hostel fee concessions, and stipends in some cases.
Renewals are subject to review by the scholarship committee before the start of each academic session.
Students are encouraged to maintain consistent performance and communicate proactively with the scholarship office to ensure uninterrupted support.
