Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I apply for internal scholarships at Delhi University?
Applications for internal scholarships at Delhi University are typically managed through the institute's official student portal (e.g., SWD portal for BITS, or ERP workflow for IITs). Notices are released at the start of the autumn/spring semester, and students must submit their applications online along with parental income certificates.
What is the family income limit for financial aid at Delhi University?
The income limit depends on the scheme. For IITs, merit-cum-means scholarships and full tuition fee waivers require a family income below ₹4.5 to ₹6 Lakhs per year (sometimes up to ₹8 Lakhs for alumni/CSR schemes). BITS Pilani MCN awards have a higher cap (typically up to ₹12 Lakhs).
Can I combine university-specific scholarships with national/state schemes?
Generally, no. Under government and institutional guidelines, students are not permitted to hold more than one active scholarship or tuition fee waiver at any given time. If you qualify for multiple, you must choose the one that offers the maximum benefit.
