VIT Vellore generally doesn't impose a limit on the number of scholarships a student can receive, but there might be some restrictions. If you qualify for multiple merit-based scholarships, VIT might consider the highest value scholarship and adjust the others accordingly to avoid exceeding the total program fee.
