Hi-Tech Institute of Engineering and Technology (HIET), Ghaziabad, offers a variety of scholarship programs to support meritorious and economically disadvantaged students in pursuing quality technical education. The scholarship schemes at HIET span merit-based awards, need-based financial aid, government-sponsored scholarships, as well as private and corporate funding. This article provides a detailed overview of the scholarship types, eligibility criteria, application processes, and renewal practices at HIET.
These scholarships honor academic excellence and are primarily awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding performance in entrance exams and previous qualifying examinations. At HIET, top-ranking students in JEE Main, UPSEE, or university tests may be eligible for tuition fee waivers or partial fee concessions.
Designed for students from low-income families, need-based scholarships aim to remove financial barriers. Students must demonstrate financial hardship through income certificates and related documentation to qualify for this category. These scholarships can cover full or partial tuition fees depending on eligibility.
HIET encourages students to avail themselves of central and state-level government scholarships. Examples include scholarships available for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Minority communities, and Physically Handicapped candidates. These are managed via platforms such as the National Scholarship Portal (NSP).
Several corporations, NGOs, and trusts partner with HIET to provide scholarships for deserving candidates. These scholarships often have specific criteria related to academic merit, community service, or participation in extra-curricular activities.
Eligibility varies depending on the scholarship type:
Merit-Based:Â Minimum 85-90% marks in 10+2 or equivalent and/or a high rank in JEE/UPSEE.
Need-Based: Annual family income below a certain threshold (usually ₹2-5 lakhs) verified by government-issued income certificates.
Government Scholarships:Â Candidates must belong to reserved categories with valid caste certificates and meet income criteria.
Private Scholarships:Â Requirements vary by scholarship and may include recommendations, essays, or evidence of leadership.
All applicants must be enrolled or provisionally admitted to HIET and maintain satisfactory academic performance to continue receiving scholarships.
Students can follow these steps to apply:
Consult the Scholarship Office: Notify the institute’s scholarship department at the time of admission or at the beginning of the academic year.
Documentation:Â Collect and prepare necessary documents including mark sheets, income certificates, caste certificates (if applicable), and admission proofs.
Application Form:Â Fill out the scholarship application form, which may be available online on the HIET website or at the institute office.
Submit & Verify:Â Submit the application form along with photocopies of all supporting documents. Originals must be shown during verification.
Selection Process:Â Shortlisted candidates are notified based on merit or need evaluation. Some scholarships may require interviews or further documentation.
Disbursement: Approved scholarship funds are credited directly against tuition fees or as per the institute’s scholarship policy.
Students are advised to apply early as scholarship funds are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Most scholarships are renewed annually based on academic performance and continuation of financial need.
Students must maintain a minimum CGPA or percentage (usually 65%-75%) stipulated by the scholarship guidelines.
Renewal applications require submission of latest mark sheets and income verification documents.
Some private and government scholarships may have fixed durations (e.g., entire course duration or one year with reapplication).
Failure to meet renewal criteria may result in discontinuation of scholarship support.
