NIT Jalandhar Scholarship 2026: Amount, Eligibility, Selection Criteria

NIT Jalandhar offers various scholarships and financial assistance schemes primarily catering to economically weaker sections and reserved categories. Notably, SC/ST/PwD students receive a full tuition fee waiver. Students with annual family incomes below 1 lakh also receive a full tuition fee waiver, while those with incomes between 1 lakh and 5 lakh benefit from a two-thirds tuition fee remission. Scholarships include the National Scholarship Scheme, Post-Matric Scholarship, and specific merit-based awards like the Akash Saxena Memorial Scholarship for CSE toppers.

MTech students qualifying through GATE receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 12,400 from MHRD. The total fees for general category students with family incomes above 5 lakh are approximately Rs. 1.76 lakh per year, including tuition, hostel, and other charges. The college also facilitates educational loans through on-campus banks like SBI and Canara Bank. However, there are limited scholarships directly from the college for general category students, apart from those based on family income or academic merit.

The presence of multiple scholarships and financial aids helps in reducing the financial burden for eligible students.

Reasonable choice for Textile Engineering students.

The fee structure for B.Tech is quite reasonable compared to many other engineering colleges.The college fee is around 25000 per semester,which mainly includes tuition fee and other academic charges for students having family income less than 1lpa.. In addition to this there is a one time admission fee approx 75000 which includes your Tuition fee for 1st semester at the time of admission. Forstudents opting for accomodation, the hostel fee is 25000 per semester, which is affordable considering the facilities provided. There has been no significant change in fee struture over the years, which makes financial planning easier for students and their families. Although I did not personally recieve any scholarship . tyhe college does offer various scholarships for eligible students. Overall, considering the good infrastructure academic facilities , placements, and stable fee structure , the course is affordable, though the college being slightly away from the main city may add minor living or travel expenses. Affordability rating 4.5/5.

NIT Jalandhar overall experience, campus placement opportunities, fees structure and hostel reviews

For ST students thier no tution fees. You just have to pay hostel and mess charges.. in even semester the fees is around Rs 25500 and in odd semester it is around Rs 30500 for Hostelers. So it around Rs 56000 in1 year and Rs 448000 for total 4 years. For General students , the hostel and mess fees is same, just they have to add additional tution fees. If the student's family income is less than 1 lakh, they don't have to pay any tution fees, only mess fees have to be paid. If the student's family income is in between 1lakh to 5 lakh, they have to pay around Rs 51300.(Mess+tution fees) And if the student's family income is more than 5 lakh, they have to pay around Rs 93000 per semester (mess+, fees)
