    Yes, Everyone can afford the fee of an IIM. Over the years IIMs have ensured that there are no dropouts because of financial reasons. They provide several scholarships to the needy people. Almost everyone who needs (not wants) a scholarship gets one. Also IIMs ensure that you have access to capital via bank loans. It literally takes 15 minutes to process loan of an IIM student if you have documents ready. There is no need to worry about the fee.

    Yes , of course, and most of the students in IIM are from middle-class family only, and, a good student never think about the class of the family,just he thinks about how his tough preparation will reach him tothe IIM, so be positive and competent.

    Yes there are scholarships both at central and state levels.Moreover there are financial institutions to offer study loans .What one requires is hard work and get good job soon after degree and IIMs have the repo for the same.The loan can be easily paid back.

However, it does offer master's‑level management programs that are relevant if you're interested in management roles in hospitality or related sectors. 

 

The closest regular master's‑level full‑time programs at IIMA that could be relevant for someone wanting strategic, managerial, or business leadership roles (for example in hospitality chains, tourism firms, service operations, etc.) are:
