Scholarship Fee Slabs 1, 2, and 3 are applicable only for the first academic year (2026-27). Continuation is not automatic - renewal depends on meeting prescribed academic and conduct conditions.

โข Clear every semester without arrears
๐ If these conditions are not satisfied, the student:
โข Will be moved to a higher fee slab

Required: CGPA โฅ 7.0 โข No disciplinary issues โข No arrears
| CGPA Range | Outcome |
|---|---|

| CGPA 6.0 โ 6.5 | Shift to Slab 3 |
| CGPA < 6.0 | Shift to Slab 4 |
Required: CGPA โฅ 6.5 โข No disciplinary issues โข No arrears
