We offer need-based scholarships to a limited number of students each year. This support can help cover tuition and accommodation expenses, and in exceptional cases, food expenses as well.
Scholarship is awarded after a careful review of submitted documents and in accordance with the University’s Financial Aid Policy. As the number of applicants often exceeds the available aid, we may not be able to support all eligible students. All decisions are made at the sole discretion of the University.
If we find any documentation to be incorrect or falsified, we reserve the right to withdraw the offer of admission.

We encourage you to appear for the first round of admission entrance test, as the scholarship process involves multiple steps, including the submission and review of financial documents and an independent verification.
