VidyaMitra is a non-profit organization dedicated to making MBA application consulting accessible to talented individuals, particularly those from middle and lower-income backgrounds.

The VidyaMitra Fellowship is designed to bridge the gap between ambition and resources for aspiring MBA candidates. Talented students who face financial constraints can apply for the fellowship. The selection process considers academic achievements, profile, and financial situation to match them with experienced consultants and students from prestigious colleges. These mentors provide guidance and support, helping the students navigate the complex MBA/MS application process effectively and free of cost.
