What Does the Fee Cover?
TSM states that academic fees include tuition, books, study material, blazer, examination fee and other miscellaneous academic expenses. Residential accommodation with meals is separately shown in the total. PGDM students additionally receive access to the international outbound programme; TSM says travel and course costs are covered for that programme while personal/incidental expenses are the student's responsibility.
TSM Scholarships
TSM offers scholarships based on academic and entrance-exam performance and also describes diversity-focused support. Its scholarship information references CAT, MAT, XAT and CMAT performance, while the PGDM-vs-MBA page specifically states that PGDM candidates with a CAT percentile of 60 or above are eligible for a merit scholarship.
