How much scholarship does a student of dual degree from IIEST Shibpur get? Is there any merit based scholarship for the general category students?

AC
Arindam Chakraborty Posted On : March 30th, 2021
B.E. Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

First of all, the scholarships are not generally given, considering the scholars of IIEST. This should be kept in mind always.

The amount of money in the scholarships and the payment mode may differ in different cases. It can be paid regularly until the completion of the degree, or as a one-time payment. But you must know that there are subjects and the criteria to get the scholarships, which should be maintained.

Many former students have pointed out that the Global Alumni Association of Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, frequently funds the stipend, in which this institute sometimes acts as a whole or sometimes as an individual. Still, everything depends on the criteria, which is not always the academic merit.

In the following some criteria are listed, which are normally maintained:

  • Academic Record
  • Some Co-curricular activities
  • Sports or Athletic records
  • Financial Background of the student (if you are from an economically poor background, then it is subjected to the lowest academic criteria)
  • Subject-based performances

However, more other criteria are not always listed but the college administration before the admission process.

Besides these institutional scholarships, there are also MHRD sponsored scholarships. These are well-documented, and you can get the details from the MHRD website; thereby, much explanation is not required in this regard.

You must check whether your parents/guardians are qualified to receive Income Tax reimbursement or the returns to support educational costs before applying for scholarships.
