There is nothing as such. SDMIMD is a place where all festivals are celebrated be it of North India or South India. All of us come together in any occasion. I myself do not belong to Karnataka and I have not faced any such circumstances of biasness. There may be students who might have not done well and thought it to be biasness. I assure you there is nothing as such all of you are valued equally be it academic evaluation or non-academic involvement.

Yes, it is mandatory to pay 10 lakhs to join SDMIMD. There are some scholarships on merit basis, if you are eligible then some part of your tuition fee might be waived.
