Kolkatta: Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta (IIM-C) has more than doubled its fees to Rs nine lakh for over 400 students for the 2009-11 academic session while doubling the scholarship fund from Rs 75 lakh to Rs 1.50 crore per year.

The spokesman said that IIM-C spent Rs four lakh per student every year.
The meeting also decided to raise the need-based scholarship fund from Rs 75 lakh to Rs 1.50 crore, he said.
To a question, he said that the Board of Governors discussed the Bhargava Committee report, particularly in respect of appointing a pan-IIM Board.
