Ashoka Business School facilitates various government-backed scholarships, financial concessions, and category-based fee waivers to support eligible students pursuing management education. Because the institute is affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) and approved by DTE Maharashtra, financial assistance is structured primarily around state and central regulatory frameworks.
Fee waivers and category concessions are implemented according to the guidelines of the Fees Regulating Authority (FRA), Maharashtra, and the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). For instance, under standard fee structures for management programs:
Reserved Categories (SC / ST): Eligible students belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories typically receive maximum or complete exemptions on applicable tuition fee components, subject to state verification.
OBC / EBC / EWS Categories: Students belonging to Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), or those qualifying under the Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Shikshan Shulkh Shishyavrutti Scheme (EBC) are eligible for up to a 50% waiver on tuition fees.
Waivers for Female Students: Specific institutional or state-backed quotas often extend financial concessions or reduced tuition burdens for women candidates depending on the current academic year's DTE matrix.
Eligible students can apply for centralized and state social welfare scholarships via the MahaDBT portal. These include:
Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme for OBC, VJNT, and SBC students.
Government-backed Minority Scholarships for students belonging to eligible minority communities who meet family income thresholds.
Timing: Scholarship applications must be filled out online via the official state scholarship portals (such as MahaDBT) shortly after admission is confirmed.
Mandatory Documents: Students must furnish valid documents including:
Domicile Certificate (Maharashtra)
Caste Certificate and Caste Validity (if applying under reserved categories)
Income Certificate issued by a competent Tahsildar authority
Academic mark sheets and DTE/admission allotment letters.
