Siva Sivani Institute of Management (SSIM), Hyderabad, is committed to supporting talented and deserving students through a range of scholarship schemes aimed at making quality management education accessible and affordable. Scholarships at SSIM primarily focus on merit, financial need, and academic excellence, supplemented by government and private funding sources. These financial aid opportunities not only incentivize top-performing students but also help economically disadvantaged candidates to pursue their academic goals without financial constraints.
SSIM Hyderabad offers various types of scholarships categorized broadly as follows:
These are awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance, exceptional entrance exam scores, or notable accomplishments in extracurricular activities. Merit scholarships recognize excellence and encourage continued high performance. High scorers in national-level entrance exams such as CAT, XAT, and MAT often qualify for these scholarships.
Need-based scholarships aim to support students from economically weaker sections who would otherwise find it difficult to bear the cost of management education. These scholarships require applicants to demonstrate financial need through income certificates and other relevant documentation.
SSIM facilitates the process for students to avail government scholarships provided by both central and state governments. These programs include scholarships for reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, and minority communities, as well as scholarships for differently-abled students under various welfare schemes.
The institute collaborates with several private organizations and corporate trusts that offer scholarships to deserving students. These scholarships are often merit-cum-need based and can include partial or full fee waivers. SSIM regularly informs and assists students in applying for such external scholarships.
The eligibility criteria for scholarships at SSIM typically include a combination of academic merit, entrance exam percentile, and financial status. Detailed eligibility conditions are:
A minimum aggregate of 60% in graduation or equivalent academic qualification for merit-based scholarships.
A valid entrance exam score above a certain percentile (usually 80 percentile or higher) in exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, or CMAT.
Financial documents substantiating the need for assistance, such as income certificates, for need-based scholarships.
Specific categories such as SC, ST, OBC, or differently-abled candidates must provide valid caste or disability certification along with their applications for government scholarships.
Candidates must maintain satisfactory academic performance throughout the course to retain merit-based scholarships.
The application for scholarships at SSIM Hyderabad is an integral part of the admission process or can be initiated post-admission for certain categories. The application modalities include:
Filling out scholarship application forms, which are available on the SSIM official website or at the admissions office.
Submitting academic records, financial documents, entrance exam scorecards, and category certificates where applicable.
Writing a brief statement outlining the candidate’s need or merit justification.
Some scholarships may require interviews or personal interaction to evaluate the candidate's eligibility.
For government and private scholarships, the institute provides guidance and facilitates the documentation but candidates may need to apply on relevant external portals directly as per scholarship guidelines.
Timely submission of complete and accurate documents is essential to avoid delays or rejection.
Scholarships awarded by SSIM Hyderabad generally cover the entire duration of the PGDM or doctoral course, subject to periodic review and renewal criteria. Renewal is contingent upon the student:
Maintaining the minimum required academic performance and attendance.
Adhering to the institute’s code of conduct and discipline.
Submitting progress reports or periodic performance documentation if requested.
Some government or external private scholarships might require annual renewal applications or supplementary documentation, which students are responsible for submitting promptly to continue availing benefits.
