Academic scores and classroom performance are not the only things given importance at Gitarattan International Business School (GIBS), Delhi. The institute recognises that a student's professional education can be very costly for many families and tries to provide financial aid and scholarships to help them achieve their goals. GIBS strives to make higher education more accessible to its students through university-supported schemes, government scholarships, and category-based concessions, while encouraging students to pursue higher education and their professional and academic development without unnecessary financial burden. There are facilities for academically strong, economically weaker, and academically eligible social or special category students.
These scholarships are intended for students who have been able to achieve a good academic track record and well-disciplined educational efforts throughout the course. The focus is on consistent academic work and professional behaviour over time, rather than on single pieces of work.
In concise terms:
GIBS understands that there are real financial obstacles for many students on the path to professional education. Need-based scholarship support is designed to help students who face financial hardship in paying educational costs due to their family's income. The aim is to provide financially eligible students the opportunity to pursue their studies without interruption.
How this typically works:
Students from any category who need special consideration may avail themselves of further scholarships through GIBS and affiliated university or governmental schemes. These initiatives aim at easing the educational burden and ensuring equal opportunity in higher education.
Financial support is available for:
Students who have a certified physical disability or special learning requirement may apply for a fee concession or government assistance scheme for their education. The level of support typically varies based on the official certification of disability and institutional and/or governmental policy guidelines. These initiatives aim to offer inclusive learning opportunities and a more conducive educational experience.
Institutional or university guidelines may give weightage to postgraduate students, particularly MBA students with good academic performance or entrance marks, for fee support.
Key points:

Yes. In addition to merit-based support, GIBS students can also receive need-based support, category-based support schemes, postgraduate concessions, and scholarships under university or government policies for eligible students.
Typically, merit-based scholarship support is contingent on good academic conduct, satisfactory attendance, and good behaviour throughout the course.
Students may typically only benefit from one concession and/or scholarship at any one time, unless this is permitted in accordance with institutional or government scholarship guidelines.
Scholarship applications are usually made during the admission, counselling, or registration process. Students may be asked to provide supporting documents such as income proof, category certificates, academic records, or disability certificates as per the category of scholarship they are applying for.
