    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, IIM Ahmedabad is certainly costly. IIM Ahmedabad total fees ranges between INR 64,000 and INR 33 lakh. The fees vary depending on the programme and specialisation selected by the students. The fee for certain programmes certainly falls in the higher end of the spectrum. Students need to pay INR 25 lakh as IIM Ahmedabad MBA fee. However, considering the fact that IIMA is one of the top-rate IIMs and limitless oppurtunities students can experience at the institute, it might be considered a worthwile investment. Further, the institute also offers financial aid to its students.
