Re: IITB MCM Scholarship
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is a public engineering institution located in Powai, Mumbai, India. It was founded in 1958 Merit-cum-Means scholarship is awarded @ Rs.1000/-per month with benefit of free tuition fee (Rs.25,000/-per semester) to a maximum of 25% of undergraduate students. For Dual degree, it is available only upto the 4th year. For these scholarships, academic merit as well as means will be taken into account to determine eligibility. Merit Criterion: For new entrants (B.Tech. and Dual degree) their JEE-AIR will be the criterion. In case of students joining the 2-year M.Sc. programme, their performance in the admission test and interview will be considered for determining merit. Means Criterion: The parental income is the basis for the `means' criterion of the scholarship. At present students whose parents' annual gross income from all sources does not exceed Rs.4,50,000/- are eligible to apply for Merit-cum-Means Scholarship. When a student applies for the scholarship for the first time, an Income Affidavit has to be submitted by the parent or guardian for the year preceding year of application for the scholarship. No fresh affidavit will be required for renewal of the scholarship in the subsequent years, till the completion of the programme to which the student is admitted. The scholarship will be renewed on a yearly basis provided the student fulfills all the terms and conditions for renewal of the scholarship. A student whose parental income falls below the prescribed limit at any point during the course of his programme (due to reasons such as retirement of the parent/guardian or due to any unforeseen circumstances) is eligible to be considered for an award of Merit-cum-Means scholarship from the month in which such situation arises. In this case also a fresh income affidavit, supported by acceptable documentary evidence needs to be submitted. Those students who have applied for the Private Trust Scholarships will not be considered for the Institute Merit-cum-Means Scholarships. Free tuition: In addition to those awarded Merit-cum-Means scholarships another 10% of students can get the benefit of free tuition only. Free messing: All SC/ST students are exempted from the payment of tuition fees. The facilities of free messing (only basic menu) and a pocket allowance of Rs.250/-p.m. will be granted to eligible SC/ST students. Such students are also eligible for exemption from the payment of hostel room rent, subject to the 'means' criterion as mentioned before. These facilities are available for upto a year more than the prescribed duration of the programme. Students who are not registered for any course during vacation will be paid only the pocket allowance for that period.
