Sindhi Institute of Management - SIM Scholarships Overview
The scholarship programme at SIM aims to reward academic excellence, support economically weaker sections, and encourage special achievements in areas like sports. Benefits often take the form of fee waivers or concessions, usually between 10% and 60%, depending on the scholarship type and the student’s achievements. Most waivers are offered as reductions in tuition fees, directly helping recipients manage the financial requirements of their postgraduate management studies.
Merit-based waivers (linked to qualifying examination marks or entrance tests)
Need/EWS-based support (consideration for low family income or financial hardship)
Category-based waivers (reserved for SC/ST, minority, Sindhi community, single girl child, sports achievers, wards of defense personnel, and alumni)
Sindhi Institute of Management - SIM Eligibility

Some category-specific concessions require proof of community or special achievement—for instance, sports scholarships require representation at state, national, or international levels. For need-based or EWS support, consideration is given to low family income, though detailed income thresholds are decided by institute management on a case-by-case basis.
