At Rukmini Devi Institute of Advanced Studies (RDIAS), Rohini, academic performance is not the only emphasis. The institute is aware that higher education can put a strain on the finances of many households and hence provides scholarship assistance and fee-support opportunities, under institutional and government guidelines, to deserving students. RDIAS is set to foster students' willingness to pursue further studies based on their merits and interests while providing financial support, avoiding any unnecessary burden on students, and encouraging them to plan for their future careers and educational paths.
Generally, these scholarships are awarded to students who have been performing well academically and progressing with a disciplined approach during their studies. They are designed to promote continual academic achievement, not just a single good performance.
In concise terms:
RDIAS recognizes that some students may experience significant financial hardship while studying at a higher education institution. Some may be eligible for financial aid programs that support students' education without putting them under undue financial strain, or they may avail themselves of government-backed scholarships.
How this typically works:
RDIAS also caters to students from categories covered under institutional and government scholarship schemes. These programs are designed to help ease the educational burden and support continuity of learning.
Support may be available for:
A student with any type of physical disability or special education needs may be considered for financial aid or government-sponsored scholarship programs for differently-abled students. The level of support is usually based on the eligibility criteria and submission of official documents.
This assistance is intended to promote a level playing field in education and a smoother educational journey.
Students pursuing MBA studies at the postgraduate level may avail scholarships available as per institutional policy and/or government schemes based on their academic performance and eligibility norms.

Typically, merit-based scholarship support is contingent upon consistent academic achievement, good attendance, and discipline throughout a student's academic program.
