NIT Tadepalligudem review

Many different types of scholarships are there like NSP,NSE,FFE, RELIANCE etc But NIT also provides scholarship based on our Annual income. If annual income is less than 1 lakh you don't have to pay any tuition fees If annual income is between 1 lakh - 5 lakh you have to pay 1/3 of tuition fees. If more than 5 lakh you have to pay full amount. Though you have to pay mess and hostel fees full

The cost of study differs for each student depending on the student's family's annual income. I got an NSF scholarship in my 1st year and my friends also got different scholarships but we should choose only one scholarship.

Enjoyable and cool life at NITAP

The cost to study is relevant and also we get scholarships for the institute from the college itself. I haven't taken any placement or internship yet also I haven't applied for any scholarship from college as I have applied from external sources earlier only.

I'm not eligible for any scholarship as my father was a government employee. you can avail scholarship if you satisfy the requirements. Its time taking and slow process, even though your amount will be credited.
