The Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies & Research (AIACTR) focuses on more than just the grades. We realize that college education, especially at the level of an engineering or communications technology or computer science or electronics or research-oriented institute, can be a drain on finances, and in the pursuit of higher education, students should not be overly pressurised by monetary matters, provided that their ability warrants such education. AIACTR supports students by offering various schemes for scholarship, fee waiver and financial assistance.
Scholarship at the institute based on academic performance throughout the course of study, and not based on a single exam. We want to ensure consistency in student's academic achievements.
In brief:
For capable but financially troubled students. We extend our helping hands so that these students can achieve education without financial impediments.
Typical Procedure:
We also make an effort to reduce the burden on students in some specific conditions, based on individual circumstances.

The criteria to receive a merit scholarship at AIACTR typically include the maintenance of good academic records, as well as generally good standing throughout the course.
In most situations, students may be eligible for one main scholarship or fee concession, but not simultaneously, unless there is any institutional or governmental exception.
The application procedure involves students filling out necessary forms and submitting specific documents as may be needed for the scholarship application, such as certificates of income, disability or category, academic progress report, details about entrance exams, existing fellowships, etc. This may be during admissions, semester registration or through particular scholarship portals dedicated to student support programs.
