Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur is not only known for its excellent education but also for supporting students who need financial help. MNIT offers many scholarships to help students from different backgrounds get the best education without worrying too much about money. This includes scholarships from the government, private institutions, and the college itself.
At MNIT Jaipur, scholarships are offered under four main types:
Merit-Based Scholarships
These are given to students who have scored high marks in their previous exams or have done very well in their academics at MNIT.
Need-Based Scholarships
These are provided to students from economically weaker sections. If a student’s family income is low, they may qualify for this scholarship.
Government Scholarships
These are scholarships funded by the central or state government. For example, SC/ST/OBC category students can apply for government schemes like:
Post-Matric Scholarship (SC/ST/OBC)
National Scholarship Portal Schemes
State Government Scholarships
Private Scholarships
Several private companies and organizations offer scholarships to MNIT students. These include NGOs and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds from companies.
Each scholarship has its own rules. Some common criteria include:
The student must be studying in a regular course at MNIT.
For merit-based scholarships, students must have good academic scores.
For need-based scholarships, the student’s family income must be below a certain level (usually ₹2.5–₹5 lakh per year).
Some scholarships are only for certain castes or categories like SC/ST/OBC/PwD.
Students must not already be receiving another scholarship unless allowed by the rules.
The process to apply is simple but must be done carefully. Here are the steps:
Visit the official MNIT website or the National Scholarship Portal (NSP): https://scholarships.gov.in
Register and login using your Aadhaar number and basic details.
Choose the scholarship you want to apply for.
Fill the application form carefully.
Upload documents like:

Submit the form before the last date.
Most scholarships are given for one year at a time but can be renewed each year if:
The student passes all subjects and maintains good attendance.
They meet the scholarship rules every year.
A renewal form may need to be filled with an updated marksheet.
