The Adani Institute of Education and Research has also announced a generous 10% discount on tuition fee for Adani Group Employees and their wards. As an added incentive to build on their Infrastructure Management abilities, these working executives of any of the Adani Group companies, who take a break to pursue their PGDM or E-PGDM in Infrastructure Management at AIIM, shall be offered an up gradation on rejoining after successful completion of the course.

The right infrastructure is quintessential to turn India into a manufacturing hub. While welcoming the ‘Make in India’ campaign, the Adani Group is deeply conscious of the fact that we first need to ‘Make India’. AIIM scholarships are in sync with this particular objective, since managerial capacity building is the biggest challenge today in the infrastructure industry. Keeping this in mind, AIIM has on offer a scholarship amount of Rs 50,000 for four for each- PGDM (IM) and E-PGDM (IM) aspirants.

Students who have missed out on the admission-level scholarships, will be eligible to Grade Point average (GPA) based scholarships, which will come up every trimester (3 months). In addition, certain meritorious students of the 2-year PGDM course will be allowed to do a full-fledged Summer Internship, directly under the CEO’s office of the various companies of the Adani group.

AIIM is a brainchild of Mr. Gautam Adani - also the Chairman of Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management. Mr. Adani, a first generation entrepreneur, is the Chairman and Founder of the 8 billion dollar Adani Group, and amongst the 10 Richest Indians. Founded in 1988, the Adani Group started with Port Infrastructure, and in a very short period of time grew into a globally integrated infrastructure player with businesses spanning coal trading, coal mining, oil & gas exploration, ports, multi-modal logistics, power generation, Agri Infrastructure, edible oil & transmission and gas distribution.
