Fellowships
At Ahmedabad University, we believe that finances should not stand in the way of pursuing education.
All students will receive tuition support of INR 75,000 per year. Students needing additional financial assistance can opt for a Fellowship, under which they are required to undertake Teaching Assistantship under a faculty member assisting them in teaching. For students choosing the Fellowship option, the tuition support would increase to INR 1.25 lakh per year, thus reducing their tuition fees by 50% to INR 1.25 lakh per year. Continuance of the tuition support of INR 75,000 in the second year is contingent upon maintaining to their academic performance.
Student Testimonials
Raj Manwani
The curriculum’s strong focus on building knowledge of the financial markets added to my internship with the finance company, wherein my responsibilities included those professionals working in the traditional investment banking role. Several courses, especially the ones on financial modelling and financial markets, strengthened my foundation, made me aware, and trained me for this role. The internship further taught me the workings of the corporate sector, helped in skill upgradation, analysed complex global industry markets, developed a deep knowledge of investment valuation topics, and gave me the opportunity to work on pitchbooks. I believe this experience and hard work have also translated into a pre-placement offer from the company I interned for.
Shree
My interest in finance was ignited during my undergraduate studies, bringing theoretical subject matter to life. This inspired me to learn the core of finance, and Ahmedabad University, with its focus on quantitative methodologies, rigorous research, and application-based learning, emerged as the ideal choice for taking forward this learning. Additionally, the diverse peer group at the University contributes to a contextual understanding of the subject by offering immense exposure to different ideas and perspectives. Ahmedabad University also provides a comprehensive learning environment for building an enriching academic experience.
