Introduction:

The Institute awards merit scholarships to deserving students of the B Tech programs. Scholarships of a value equal to the tuition fee for the duration of the program (eight semesters only) are awarded for each category. From the 2024-25 batch, the scholarship scheme will be as follows.

1. Selection of Merit Scholarship Awardees:

The selection criteria would be as follows:

• Scholarships would be awarded to the top five (5) students who are admitted to the program with an All India Rank in JEE Main (conducted by CBSE) better than 5000 (n.b. smaller numerical value indicates higher rank: student with rank 01 is the best performer nationally). In case such candidates are less than five, the remaining scholarships (five minus the awarded) may be transferred to Merit-cum-Means category.
• Scholarships would be awarded to the top three (3) students who are admitted to the program via ACPC with an ACPC Merit Rank (GUJCET-based) better than 25 (n.b. smaller numerical value indicates higher rank: student with rank 01 is the best performer nationally). In case such candidates are less than three, the remaining scholarships (three minus the awarded) may be transferred to Merit-cum-Means category.

2. Rules for Merit Scholarship:

The scholarship would be continued on a semester-wise basis for a maximum of eight semesters (normal duration of the program) provided that the student satisfies the conditions given below. The Summer Semester is not covered in the scheme; hence a student who does not satisfy a particular condition in the Winter Semester of a particular academic year would not be eligible for the scholarship in the Autumn Semester of the succeeding academic year.

• Minimum SPI: The SPI (Semester Performance Index) obtained by the student should be 8.00/10.00 or above in every semester. If the SPI falls below 8.00/10.00 in a particular semester, the scholarship will not be offered in the succeeding semester. However, if the SPI in a semester again is 8.00/10.00 or above, then the scholarship would be restored from the succeeding semester.
• Pass in All Courses: The student should not obtain a grade other than a passing grade in all the courses taken in a semester, i.e. the student should have obtained a grade of DE or above for courses with letter grades and a grade of P for all courses with P/F grades. If the student gets a non-passing grade (ie F/NP/X) in any course of a semester, then he will not be eligible for the scholarship for one succeeding semester.
  A student who undertakes some courses of a semester at some other institution under the transfer of credits provision will not be eligible for the scholarship for the succeeding semester.
• Duration of Study: The student should complete all the degree requirements in the normal duration of study for the program.
• Probation or Disciplinary Action: The student should at no time be placed on academic probation or be subjected to any disciplinary action by the Institute. The student should not have been subjected to any action for use of unfair means in any examination, or for plagiarism in any submission. In case this condition is not satisfied, the scholarship will be permanently withdrawn.
• Scholarship other than DA-IICT: The awardee should not be the recipient of any other scholarship of Govt. of India / State Government / any other private agency.
