The NU Scholar Search Programme

In order to encourage and support meritorious candidates, NU has implemented a very distinctive scholarship programme called the ‘NU Scholar Search Programme’. The Programme offers four scholarship plans. The benefits under each plan are as follows:

The scholarships offered by NU are applicable for all four years in case of the B.Tech Programme and all five years in case of the B.Tech-M.Tech Integrated Dual Degree Programme, conditional to maintaining the required CGPA. The student is considered for a scholarship upgrade at the end of each academic year based on the actual CGPA achievement but the scholarship downgrade or withdrawal is only considered after every two academic years based on the actual CGPA achievement.

The boards have been categorized based on the performance of the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in his/ her respective Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The score of the candidate in either Class X or Class XII will be rounded off to the next nearest highest score. The eligibility for the NU Scholar Search Programme is as per Tables 1 to 4.

Table-2 NU Scholar Search Programme - Scholarship eligibility for Category – II Board

Table-3 NU Scholar Search Programme - Scholarship eligibility for Category – III Board

TABLE 4: NU Scholar Search Programme – Scholarship Eligibility for JEE-Main/ BITSAT/ SAT Performance

To qualify for the scholarship as defined in Tables 1 to 4:

• The candidate should secure at least 60% aggregate in five subjects in both Class X and XII Board Examinations respectively in addition to the score/ rank specified above.
• For aggregate calculation for Class X, the four compulsory subjects are English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Student can choose any fifth subject.
• Candidate will be offered the benefit of the plan most favorable to her/him.
• A candidate applying before the announcement of the class XII results will be offered a scholarship on a provisional basis. A candidate who does not qualify for scholarship at the time of Early Admissions, may qualify based on the Class XII marks or any of the entrance ranks as specified above, later on. The final scholarship category will be decided on the basis of the marks obtained in Class XII or rank obtained in the Entrance Examination specified above.
• Applications from the wards of employees of NIIT University (NU) will be awarded 5% weightage in both - Class X and Class XII, over and above the marks obtained by the ward for scholarship. This would apply up to scholarship MS-B only. The scholarship in subsequent years would be governed by the existing scholarship policy.

Please note that all scholarships are subject to availability. Meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee award of scholarship.

SCHOLARSHIP PLANS FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS

The scholarships offered by NU are applicable for all four years in case of the B.Tech Programme and all five years in case of the B.Tech-M.Tech Integrated Dual Degree Programme, conditional to maintaining the required CGPA.
