Free seats is not a concept in IIMS as far as my knowledge is considered though if you belong to reserved category then you will get some concession in fees according to the policies of Central government education program. Also there are some more options like economically weak classes where you will have to provide the family's annual income certificate and if they find you eligible then you might get some more concession but that usually depends on the scheme you are eligible for. But mostly we are expected to fill some amount for fees as development and other fees as they are not a part of tution fees and everyone is charged for that.

Hello jinay,

Most of the IIMs have some scholarship programs where they waive off some fees for economically weak students. If you meet those criteria you would certainly get the scholarship.  There are also many merit based scholarships from state and central government and some private organizations. If lack of money is stopping you to join an IIM.
