Eligibility Criteria
- Students belonging to Antodaya and BPL families as per family ration card are eligible.
- 50% of tuition and laboratory fees and 50% of hostel mess fees may be waived for up to 10% of students under this category.
- Financial assistance for hostel mess fees is provided on a case-by-case basis.
- Priority is given to students enrolled in non-professional courses.

- Financial assistance is granted for the duration of the program and must be applied for each semester afresh.
- Weightage is given 70% for low income Antodaya/BPL status and 30% for merit or attendance.
Withdrawal of Benefit
Financial assistance may be withdrawn if the student’s performance declines for two consecutive semesters or if the student is found guilty of misconduct such as indiscipline, ragging, sexual harassment, misstatement of facts, criminal acts, or inadequate attendance.
Additional Information
PwBD students with 40% or more disability are entitled to complete fee waiver on submission of a valid disability certificate.
