NIET Business School PGDM Scholarships: 2026-28
NIET Business School’s published scholarship schedule applies to its two-year PGDM batch for 2026-28. The school’s admissions page carries an “Applications Closed for PGDM 2026-28” notice for that batch. The amounts and eligibility below are therefore a record of that published policy, not a promise that the same awards remain available to a future class. The page does not establish a 2027-29 scholarship schedule or open application window.
The schedule contains several separate routes: marks on named entrance tests, academic performance, a Delhi University distinction, and social or service-related categories. Each award is a stated rupee amount. The school says an approved scholarship is applied to the final fee instalment; it does not describe the amounts as annual payments or a recurring reduction in every instalment. A student may use only one category under the policy. These limits matter when comparing an award with the programme’s published fee: first establish whether the rule applies to the intended batch, then read the fee schedule and award terms together.
The policy is attached to NIET Business School’s PGDM, the Greater Noida institution and programme in this listing. It is not an award schedule for NIET’s separate engineering or pharmacy institutions. The policy page also reserves the institution’s right to amend or withdraw it without prior notice. Applicants should obtain the written schedule for their own intake and ask the school to confirm that the award is still offered before relying on any amount.
Entrance-test awards in the 2026-28 schedule
The school’s 2026-28 policy lists awards for MAT, CAT/XAT and CMAT. The score is a scholarship criterion in this table; it is not an admission cutoff. The separate admission guide describes entrance scores as preferred and does not publish a minimum score or percentile for selection.
The original wording matters at the upper boundaries. It says “above 701” for MAT and “above 71” for CAT/XAT, rather than explicitly saying “701 and above” or “71st percentile and above.” A candidate at exactly either boundary should ask the admissions office how the policy is applied. The source does not state whether marks, percentile or rank are rounded, or how a score from an unlisted test is treated for scholarship purposes. It also gives no CAT/XAT award slab for scores below the listed range. Those details should not be inferred from the admission test preference list.
Academic and university-based awards
Three parts of the schedule use school or graduation records rather than an entrance-test tier:
The academic-excellence rule names CBSE for Class 12 and requires the 65% threshold across all three listed stages. It does not say that a high graduation percentage alone is sufficient. The Delhi University award is narrower: the policy names a first division with honours, not simply attendance at the university. The source does not explain how equivalent marks, a different Class 12 board, a grading scale or a pending final result is converted to these conditions. Ask the school to confirm documentary requirements and how it evaluates a non-percentage transcript before treating a candidate as eligible.
These stated awards are alternatives within the same one-category limit. The source does not say that an applicant can add an academic award to an exam-based award or receive the listed amounts more than once. It also does not provide a separate award calculation by PGDM specialisation, so the published amount should not be multiplied by the number of specialisations or by the programme’s two years.
Higher-education, family, defence and sports categories
NIET Business School’s policy also lists three categories under the Dr. Sarojini Agarwal Scholarships and a separate Defence / Sports Quota:
The conditions should be read as written. The girls’ initiative and single-mother category each require the stated 65% threshold at all three academic stages; the source does not specify exceptions or supporting-document rules. For the defence/sports line, the policy names service-family status or State/National sports recognition. It does not say that any participation certificate qualifies. Because the page places “limited to 10 seats per batch” immediately after this category, confirm the seat limit and selection process with the institution before assuming an award is reserved.
The school’s statement that only one category may be availed means an applicant who meets more than one description should ask which award can be selected, how the school determines the best eligible category, and whether a choice can be changed before the final instalment. The published page does not answer those administrative questions.
How to check an award before budgeting
Use the school’s own 2026-28 schedule when checking a past offer, and request a current written policy for a new batch. Ask the admissions team to confirm the exact test edition and score document, how boundary scores are interpreted, the academic records required for merit categories, which single category will be applied, and the fee instalment against which it will be credited. The source says the scholarship is applied to the final instalment, but it does not publish a separate application deadline, a scholarship application form, a payment date, a disbursement process or an appeal route. Do not assume those terms from the admissions application calendar.
Sunstone’s general MBA/PGDM application page separately advertises “up to 100%% Scholarship Opportunity” and invites applicants to contact a counsellor for details. That is a broad provider-level promotion across campuses and programmes. It is not the same as the NIET Business School table, which states specific 2026-28 PGDM categories and fixed amounts. Do not add the general “up to 100%%” promotion to an NIET award or assume it replaces the school’s one-category and final-instalment conditions. Ask which institution administers any offer, which written terms apply to the NIET PGDM, and whether the offer is available for the batch you intend to join.
For a future intake, verify the current admission status and scholarship document directly with NIET Business School. The captured page carries an “Applications Closed for PGDM 2026-28” notice, and this source set does not establish the next batch’s awards. A past award chart can help explain how the school structured support; it cannot establish a future scholarship amount or guarantee an individual award.
