NIMS University Jaipur is committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not become a barrier to quality education. To support deserving and talented students, the university offers various scholarships aimed at encouraging academic excellence, supporting economically weaker sections, and promoting equal access to higher education.
NIMS University provides several types of scholarships to meet the needs of students from diverse backgrounds:
Merit-Based Scholarships
Awarded to students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance in their previous qualifying examinations. The percentage scored in Class 12 or graduation determines the scholarship percentage in many courses.
Need-Based Scholarships
Offered to students whose annual family income is below a certain threshold. These are designed to support students from economically weaker sections so they can continue their studies without financial stress.
Government Scholarships
Students can apply for scholarships offered by the Central or State Governments through portals such as:
National Scholarship Portal (NSP)
Post Matric Scholarship for SC/ST/OBC
Scholarships for Minority Students
Prime Minister’s Scholarship Scheme
Private or NGO-Based Scholarships
NIMS University also helps students apply for scholarships provided by external organizations and NGOs. These may be based on merit, need, or specific eligibility such as geographic location or community.
Eligibility depends on the type of scholarship applied for. Some general requirements include:
Scoring a minimum percentage in qualifying exams (often 60% or higher)
Annual family income typically ranging below ₹2.5 lakh to ₹8 lakh (for need-based/government scholarships)
Belonging to specific reserved categories like SC/ST/OBC, EWS, or minorities

Government Scholarships: Applications can be made through the official National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) or relevant state-level portals, as per the eligibility.
