IIT Gandhinagar: A College Was Worthful

The college provided numerous scholarships to economically weak students and academically brilliant students. Few I remember were scholarships for Academic Excellence, scholarships for Excellence in Sports and Games, and more It also offers various financial aid programs. There were few criteria to clear the scholarship and proof for the same was required.
