NIIT University Scholar Search Program

India Education

Based in Neemrana, Rajasthan, NIIT University (NU) offers meritorious students an opportunity to secure early admission to B.Tech programs. These students are eligible for the NU Scholar Search Program, based on their academic results and entrance examination scores on an early-bird basis. A student can secure up to 75% of scholarship based on their scores. This scholarship is available for up to five years, depending on the course opted for by a student.

Programs

The scholarship is applicable for two major programs offered by the NU.

B.Tech (four years of scholarship)
B.Tech-M.Tech Integrated Dual Degree (five years of scholarship)

The scholarship plans offer the following for eligible candidates:

Plan B+: 75% scholarship on hostel fee and university fees
Plan B: 50% scholarship plan
C: 25% scholarship

It’s good news if a candidate can maintain the required 7.5 CGPA. Those who surpass the 7.5 bar might be lucky to enjoy an upgraded scholarship plan. Unfortunately, for those who cannot maintain the 7.5 target, their plans get downgraded.
