Please read the following carefully and ensure that you understand the conditions of the scholarship you have applied for or been offered to.

1. MERIT‑BASED SCHOLARSHIPS

Merit-based scholarships are awarded to incoming students based on their Intermediate (or equivalent) percentage. Once granted, a merit scholarship continues throughout the degree, provided the student meets and maintains the required minimum CGPA each semester. If their CGPA falls below the threshold for their tier, they will be “shifted down” to the next lower waiver tier or forfeit the award if falling below all thresholds.

Notes on Availability:

• Students must apply before the priority deadline (July 15).
• Tier I (90% +): Limited number, awarded on a first-come, first-served basis
• Tier II (80–89.99%): Limited number, first-come, first-served basis
• Tier III (70–79.99%): Unlimited (no cap on awards)
