Financial assistance
a) Need-based financial assistance
We give financial assistance to deserving candidates based on family income. The financial assistance will be given in the form of fee waivers (not in the form of cash) to cover the tuition and accommodation expenses. In exceptional cases, we also provide financial assistance towards food expenses.
Financial assistance process
Students with an annual family income of less than 7 lakhs will be eligible for different levels of scholarships.
- While filling up the application form, please mention that you want to apply for financial assistance.
- If you are selected in the admission process, you will be asked to fill up the detailed financial assistance form and submit the supporting documents within a specified timeframe. You will need to provide the income details of all family members. (Please include income from salary, pension, rent, agriculture, business, investments, commission etc). We do not consider delayed submissions, so please be ready with the required documentation on time.
- The University’s financial assistance team will get in touch with you to understand and assess your financial condition, based on which a decision on financial assistance will be taken.
- The University will conduct its own verification process through a third-party agency, to validate all the financial information including income details and supporting documents provided by you. If the verification does not conform to the details provided by you, the University will withdraw scholarship. The decision of the University in all such cases will be final and binding.
b) Tuition fee waiver for working professionals
- This is applicable only for our 2‑year master’s programmes.
