B.Tech. Scholarship

Income Linked Scholarship Scheme

Go to:

As per its Act, IIIT-Delhi is required to be self sustaining, with the Govt providing free land and funds for infrastructure. Hence, the fee levels in the Institute have to be relatively higher as compared to those Institutes that are provided yearly grants from the Govt. To ensure that the education in the Institute is not denied to any student who gains admission, the Institute launched an income-linked partial fee-waiver/scholarship scheme. In this scheme, based on the income level of the parents, some amount of scholarship/fee-waiver is provided to the student. This is a global best practice, being used by many Universities across the world.

Procedure

The scheme will be operated as follows:

  • All students admitted to the institute (including those already studying) are eligible to apply. Students who are already studying in IIIT-Delhi are eligible to apply only if they have passed all the courses in the previous year (i.e. have not received F grade in any course).
  • Specific rules and requirement of supporting documents are given below.
  • The institute will announce each year the list of students who got the scholarship/fee-waiver.

More information about the scheme is available from the Institute office. Based on the response to the scheme, the institute may expand the scheme in future.

Note: If an affidavit is found to be inaccurate at any time, all waivers given will be recovered with penalty of at least 100%. This fact may also be recorded in the character certificate of the student.

  2. If any of the parents did not file income tax return, an affidavit on a stamp paper will have to be furnished stating that no income tax return was filed last year. The affidavit will also self-declare the income.
  3. Fee receipt of the last school attended.
