Renewal of most scholarships at MIMS requires maintaining a minimum CGPA/aggregate (usually 60% or above), satisfactory attendance, and good disciplinary record annually. Scholarships like Jagananna Vidya Deevena and state EWS awards cannot typically be combined with other major government fee waivers; however, minor institutional prizes may be combinable for merit or conduct. Overall quotas and budget allocations may limit the number of awards each year, especially for category-specific schemes, so all applicants should check updated notifications each session.
