    Frequently Asked Questions

    I am not in the first year of my engineering degree, can I apply for the scholarship?

    I cannot find my college name in the list of eligible colleges, how do I apply?

    What are some common mistakes applicants make while submitting their scholarship application?

    Based on past applications, here are the most frequent mistakes scholars make:

    Uploading an Expired Income Certificate

    Ensure that your income certificate is valid and issued within the required timeframe. Expired certificates will lead to rejection or delays in processing.

    Not Reading the Terms and Conditions Before Signing

    Many applicants skip reading the detailed terms and conditions, which results in agreeing to terms they may not fully understand. Please read all instructions carefully before submission.

    Entering the Annual Course Fee Instead of the Total Course Fee

    The form requires you to enter the total course fee for the entire duration (e.g., 2 or 4 years), but many applicants mistakenly enter just one year's fee. Please confirm this with your institution before submission.
