Taxila Business School is committed to promoting excellence and providing financial support to meritorious and deserving students. The institute offers a wide range of scholarships and fee waivers to encourage students from various backgrounds to pursue their management education without financial constraints.
These scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic performance, entrance exam scores, work experience, and socio-economic background. The goal is to reward talent, support need-based applicants, and foster inclusivity across the student community.
Merit-Based Scholarships
Taxila awards scholarships to candidates with excellent academic records and high scores in national-level entrance exams such as CAT, XAT, CMAT, and MAT. These scholarships are aimed at recognizing and rewarding academic excellence.
Need-Based Scholarships
For students from economically weaker sections (EWS), Taxila provides partial fee waivers based on income proof and supporting documents. The objective is to ensure that financial limitations do not obstruct talented students from accessing quality education.
Scholarships for Work Experience
Candidates with 2+ years of full-time professional work experience in relevant industries may be eligible for special scholarships. This acknowledges the value of real-world experience in a B-school setting.
Government Scholarships
Students belonging to SC/ST/OBC/EWS categories may also apply for government-sponsored scholarships through their respective state portals. Taxila facilitates this process by providing necessary institutional support.
Private/External Scholarships
Students are encouraged to apply for scholarships provided by private bodies, NGOs, and educational foundations such as Aditya Birla Scholarship, Tata Trusts, and others. Taxila provides guidance in documentation and application if required.
Each scholarship has specific eligibility requirements. However, some common criteria include:
A valid score in CAT/XAT/CMAT/MAT/GMAT/ATMA
Minimum 60% marks in Class 10, 12, and graduation
Income certificate for need-based scholarships
Work experience certificate (if applying under that category)
Continuous good academic performance during the program
Students must ensure that they meet the minimum cut-off set for scholarship eligibility. In most cases, scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis depending on the availability of seats and funds.
Applying for scholarships at Taxila Business School is integrated into the admission process:
Step 1 – Fill out the application form online at www.taxila.in
Step 2 – Indicate interest in scholarships in the application
Step 3 – Upload relevant documents such as mark sheets, income certificate, work experience, or category certificate
Step 4 – The admissions team will review eligibility and issue the scholarship offer letter if selected
Step 5 – Accept the scholarship and confirm admission with reduced fee payment
Scholarships are offered at the time of admission only and may not be claimed later unless explicitly allowed under specific provisions.
Most scholarships are applicable for the first academic year. However, renewal for the second year is subject to:
Minimum CGPA (e.g., 7.5/10 or equivalent)
No disciplinary actions or attendance issues
Active participation in academic and co-curricular activities
If a student fails to meet the renewal criteria, the scholarship for the next academic term may be withdrawn. Students are informed in advance about their performance evaluation and continuation of benefits.
