Merit-Based Scholarships

Merit-based scholarships in NIIT University are also aimed at recognising discipline in the academics and long term performance instead of a one time high score.

Key Features

• Students with significant and stable academic performance in the course of the program are given consideration.
• The renewal of the scholarship usually demands a high CGPA (usually 8.0 or more) and the lack of active backlogs.
• Students can have all or part of their tuition fee waived depending on academic performance, and very rarely, heavy fee concessions.
• It is periodically reviewed to remain eligible in terms of academic performance.
• Such scholarships promote life-long learning and prudent studying practices.

Need-Based (Means) Scholarships

NIIT University recognizes that money is a limiting factor that may be experienced by learners who are academically competent. The need-based scholarships are aimed at assisting students whose family earnings render higher education unaffordable.

How It Works

• The eligibility needs to be completed by validated family income records.
• The academic development is assessed together with the need.
• Students can be given moderate fee reductions or large tuition subsidies based on their personal situations.
• The main reason is to make sure that financial distress does not disrupt the continuity of academics.

Category-Specific Scholarships

NIIT University also has students with special needs that might demand extra attention because of a personal, social or family situation.

Support May Be Available For

• Students living in remote locations or other states.
• More than one student in families registered in NIIT University.
• Certified physically or learning handicapped students.
• Wards of martyrs and children of unmarried parents, as an index of institutional respect and support.

These scholarships decrease the financial and academic strain, which makes the students continue their studies in a stable state.

Special Needs Student Scholarships

Students who have certified physical or learning impairments may seek a concession in their fees. The support usually varies with:

• The type of disability and its percentage.
• Confirmation by official medical or government certificates.

This is an initiative that demonstrates the NIIT University to be an institution of inclusive education and equal learning opportunities, whereby every student will have a facilitative academic path.

Postgraduate Scholarships - Enhancing Higher Education

• They are selected on the basis of the undergraduate performance or identified evaluation measures.
• These scholarships promote high learning, specialization, and research based learning.
