NERIM Guwahati offers a variety of scholarship options designed to support meritorious students and those facing financial difficulties in pursuing their academic goals. The institute believes in encouraging talent and providing equitable education access by extending financial aid through multiple scholarship categories. These scholarships help foster an inclusive learning environment where financial constraints do not hinder educational advancement.
NERIM classifies its scholarships into several categories to cater to diverse student needs:
Merit-Based Scholarships:Â Awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance in qualifying examinations or entrance tests. These scholarships recognize scholastic excellence and encourage students to maintain high academic standards throughout their tenure.
Need-Based Scholarships:Â Provided to students from economically weaker sections, these scholarships help reduce the financial burden on families. Eligibility typically requires submission of income certificates and other supporting documents demonstrating financial need.
Government Scholarships: NERIM facilitates students’ access to state and central government scholarship schemes aimed at Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), minority communities, and differently-abled individuals. These scholarships are governed by respective government rules and processes.
Private and Institutional Scholarships:Â The institute collaborates with private trusts and organizations to offer scholarships based on academic achievement, leadership qualities, sports, cultural acumen, and community service. These programs often include full or partial tuition fee waivers or stipends.
Eligibility varies by scholarship type and scheme, but common requirements include:
For merit-based scholarships, students must demonstrate high academic merit either in senior secondary exams, university entrance tests, or semester exams. Specific cutoffs are announced annually.
Need-based scholarships require valid proof of income below a certain threshold as defined by government norms or institute guidelines.
For government scholarships, applicants must belong to the eligible community category and comply with age and residency requirements set by the scholarship provider.
Private scholarships may require participation in defined contests, counseling sessions, or interviews to assess qualification and commitment.
Students must maintain a minimum academic performance standard, typically a 60% or higher percentage in their ongoing course, to retain scholarships upon renewal.
The application process is straightforward and integrated with the admission or academic registration process:
Scholarships offered directly by NERIM require candidates to complete specific scholarship application forms along with the admission form or during the academic year.
Necessary documents such as income certificates, caste certificates, academic transcripts, and identification proofs must be attached.
Government scholarships typically require parallel online applications on government portals, for which NERIM assists students in registration and verification.
For private scholarships, announcements are made through the institute’s notice board and website, with clear guidelines and deadlines for submission.
The scholarship committee at NERIM evaluates all applications, verifies documents, and announces recipients based on merit and eligibility. Selected candidates must complete acceptance formalities within stipulated times.
Scholars at NERIM can benefit from scholarship renewal over successive academic years provided they meet renewal conditions, which include:
Maintaining the required minimum grade or percentage in exams.
Complying with attendance and conduct requirements.
Timely submission of renewal applications and updated documents each academic year.
Talented students can therefore enjoy continuous financial support throughout their course duration, easing economic pressures and allowing them to focus on studies and skill development.
