Important Guidelines
All scholarship and freeship schemes are governed by the respective departments of the Government of Maharashtra and the Central Government.
Concessions are admissible only for candidates admitted through the state Centralized Admission Process (CAP); Institutional Quota / Management Quota admissions are generally not eligible for state-sponsored fee waivers.
Candidates must maintain an active Aadhaar-seeded bank account to receive direct benefit transfers (DBT).
Eligibility criteria, income ceilings, required documentation, and submission deadlines are subject to real-time notifications issued by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) and MahaDBT. Students should consult the institute’s Scholarship Helpdesk for current academic session updates.
