Ahmedabad University Fees


Scholarship for all Programmes
A) Need-Based Scholarships
Students from diverse backgrounds are provided the opportunity to gain an education at Ahmedabad University through Need-Based Scholarships. Do not let the cost of an Ahmedabad education deter you from applying. Over 80 per cent of students who apply for financial aid to cover the costs of their education receive support from Ahmedabad University.
- Students with an annual family income up to INR 5 lakh are eligible for a 90 – 100% tuition fee waiver, subject to audit.
- Students with an annual family income between INR 5 lakh to INR 10 lakh are eligible for a partial tuition fee waiver, subject to audit.
- We also provide a few housing scholarships for students from outside of Ahmedabad to those who may have a higher need.
The final decision on Need-Based Scholarships is based on an assessment of the family income, expenditure patterns, assets and a personal visit to the family residence/business by an independent audit agency.
Please Note: In case a student qualifies for both, an Academic and a Need-Based Scholarship, the Academic Scholarship will be awarded first, and the Need-Based Scholarship will include the balance (if any).
B) Merit Fellowships
The following fellowships recognise and acknowledge academic achievements of stellar undergraduate students in all disciplines.
- The Vice Chancellor’s Fellowship: This fellowship offers students a one-time fellowship of INR 3 lakh.
- The Executive Provost’s Fellowship: This fellowship offers students a one-time fellowship of INR 2 lakh.
- The Dean’s Fellowship: This fellowship offers students a one-time fellowship of INR 1 lakh.
C) Merit Scholarships
Merit Scholarships are awarded from the second year onwards to the highest-scoring students of each Programme based on their academic performance at the University.
The number of Merit Scholarships for each Programme will be proportionate to the number of students enrolled in the Programme.
