There are a great deal of scholarships for B.Tech students through merit, need-based, and various category reservations offered by the government under AICTE Pragati and Saksham, scholarships under NSP, and state-level scholarships. Apart from these, there are some renowned private scholarships, including Jindal Scholarship, Tata Scholarship, and Reliance Foundation Scholarship, for deserving students pursuing engineering. In addition to these, the institutes such as IITs, NITs, and private universities have merit-based and need-based scholarships to help the students pay tuition fees and expenses for living.
Besides national and private scholarships, global organizations and corporate foundations offer funding opportunities to engineering students. Many companies such as Google, Microsoft, and L&T have scholarships and internships for meritorious students. Scholarships for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) and female students ensure equal opportunities in technical education. They require students to assess their eligibility and ensure academic achievement, and for applications, before deadlines. Balancing multiple scholarships can really lessen the financial pressures and allow them to focus better on their education.
