In a bid to bring in more inclusivity in its classrooms, the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM-K) has announced it will waive of tuition fees for top-ranked candidates. The diversity among such candidates would be spread across females, males, non-creamy layer other backward class (NC-OBC), scheduled caste (SC), scheduled tribe (ST) and persons with disabilities (PwD) categories.
With this, the premier B-school has taken a step further in its efforts to rationalise fees. Earlier in 2012, IIM-K had rolled back its tuition fee by Rs 30000.
Now, the institute will grant full tuition fee waiver to 12 top-ranked candidates
