Benefits & Financial Support
₹2.0 Lakh+
The IIT Bombay Tuition Fee Remission scholarship offers either a full (100%) or two-thirds (66.6%) waiver of the annual tuition fees. For the academic year 2025-26/2026-27, the annual tuition fee for General/OBC/EWS students with parental income above ₹5 lakhs is ₹2,00,000 (₹1,00,000 per semester). Students with a parental income less than ₹1 Lakh per annum receive a full remission of ₹2,00,000 annually. Those with a parental income between ₹1 Lakh and ₹5 Lakh per annum receive a two-thirds remission, amounting to approximately ₹133,333 annually. The remission is directly applied as a waiver to the tuition fee. Any associated stipends (e.g., from Merit-cum-Means scholarships) are typically disbursed to Aadhaar-seeded bank accounts after successful online application and verification.

Common Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between the Tuition Fee Remission and the Merit-cum-Means (MCM) Scholarship?
The Tuition Fee Remission specifically waives either 100% or 2/3rd of your tuition fees based solely on your parental annual gross income (below ₹1 Lakh for full remission, between ₹1-5 Lakhs for 2/3rd remission). Academic performance (CPI) is not a criterion for the fee remission itself. The Merit-cum-Means (MCM) Scholarship, on the other hand, is a broader scheme that includes a full tuition fee waiver *and* an annual stipend (e.g., ₹40,000 for income up to ₹1 Lakh). MCM scholarships also have an academic merit component, typically requiring a minimum CPI of 6.0 and no academic backlogs for eligibility and renewal.
What documents are critically important for the application for the academic year 2025-26 / 2026-27?
For the academic year 2026-27, the most critical document is your Parental Income Certificate for the Financial Year 2025-26. This certificate must be issued by a competent authority on or after April 1, 2026, and remain valid until March 31, 2027. You will also need your admission/offer letter from IIT Bombay, Aadhaar/photo ID, passport-size photo, and Aadhaar-linked bank account details. Ensure all documents are uploaded as clear, readable PDFs.
What happens if my family's income changes during my course of study?
The Tuition Fee Remission is subject to annual renewal, and your eligibility is reassessed based on your parental annual gross income for the *preceding financial year*. If your family's income increases beyond the specified thresholds (e.g., above ₹5 Lakhs per annum), you may no longer be eligible for the remission in subsequent academic years. Conversely, if your income decreases and meets the criteria, you may become eligible or qualify for a higher remission percentage upon annual application. It is crucial to submit updated income certificates each year during the renewal period.
