About Army Institute of Management- AIM Scholarships
Scholarships at Army Institute of Management (AIM) are limited in scope and primarily designed to benefit wards of Army personnel serving, ex-servicemen, war widows, and equivalent Navy/Air Force categories. General category students have very few institute-specific scholarship options, as the focus is on affordable fees for priority beneficiaries and external government schemes.
Here is a clear table summarising the scholarships and concessions:
