Delhi Technological University (DTU) offers a variety of scholarships and financial aid schemes to support meritorious, socially underprivileged, and economically disadvantaged students. Scholarships are available to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and span merit-based, need-based, government, and special category grants.
DTU students can access several key scholarships:
Merit-Based Scholarships: These are awarded to students with outstanding academic performance. They include university merit scholarships and the Merit-cum-Means Scholarship, which considers both grades and family income.
Need-Based and Post Matric Scholarships: Focused on those from economically weaker backgrounds or specific social categories like SC, ST, OBC, or Minorities. Post Matric Scholarships (government-funded) are widely available, especially for SC/ST students.
Teaching Assistantship (DTU-TA): Some PG students, such as those pursuing M.Tech, receive monthly stipends for assisting faculty, based on merit and teaching needs.
Government Scholarships: Numerous central and state-sponsored schemes may be availed by eligible DTU students, such as the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) schemes, Central Sector Scholarship, minority scholarships, and more.
Other Scholarships: Special scholarships for children of defense personnel, students with disabilities, and those meeting criteria of various private trusts or corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.
Merit Scholarships: Awarded based on high ranks in entrance exams, top grades in ongoing coursework, or both. Typically, a specified minimum CGPA or percentile must be maintained annually.
Need-Based Scholarships: Requires submission of income proof, often a family annual income below a specified threshold (e.g., ₹2.5 lakh for some government schemes).
Post Matric & Government Scholarships: Candidates must belong to reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/Minorities) and fulfill academic and income criteria.
Teaching Assistantships: Based on GATE score and PG merit; selection by the university department post-admission.
Special Category and External Scholarships: Eligibility is dictated by donor criteria, such as disability status, domicile, or parental background.
For university merit and means scholarships, apply during the admission process or as notified by the university, using the official DTU scholarship portal or academic office.
For government schemes, apply through the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) or respective state portals, attaching academic, income, and category documents.
Candidates must renew their application/submit progress reports annually or as per scholarship guidelines.
Documents commonly required include mark sheets, entrance/JEE scorecard, income certificate, caste certificate, bank passbook, and Aadhaar card.
Most DTU scholarships are awarded for one academic session and are renewable annually for the duration of the course, provided the student maintains academic performance, good conduct, and meets other eligibility requirements.
Failure to meet CGPA or attendance norms can result in withdrawal or non-renewal of the scholarship.
