Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology (MJCET) offers various scholarship opportunities to support meritorious and financially needy students in pursuing their engineering education. These scholarships come from different sources including government schemes for minorities and economically weaker sections, merit-based awards, and private or institutional support. Below is a detailed overview of the scholarships accessible to MJCET students, their eligibility, application processes, and renewal policies.
The scholarships available to MJCET students broadly fall into the following categories:
Merit-Based Scholarships:Â These scholarships reward students who demonstrate academic excellence, primarily based on their rank in entrance examinations like TS EAMCET or GATE, or their overall academic performance during the course. Merit scholarships often provide tuition fee reimbursement or direct financial awards.
Need-Based Scholarships:Â Targeted at students from economically weaker families, these scholarships help alleviate the financial burden of education. Family income limits and social category certificates (such as for SC/ST/BC or minority status) are central to eligibility.
Government Scholarships:Â The Telangana state government offers multiple scholarship schemes under the Epass portal and specific minority welfare programs. Central government scholarships are also applicable. These include tuition fee reimbursement, stipends, and other supportive grants.
Private and Institutional Scholarships:Â Though MJCET itself does not prominently advertise many private scholarships, students can seek various private scholarships available nationwide through NGOs, foundations, and corporate CSR initiatives. These often have merit-cum-means criteria and cover partial or full fees.
Eligibility varies by scholarship type but commonly includes:
A minimum rank or marks in relevant entrance exams or academic qualifications.
Proof of family income below specified thresholds (typically ₹1.5 to ₹2 lakh per annum).
Residence and academic domicile requirements within Telangana or minority community status.
For merit scholarships, usually a minimum attendance (e.g., 75%) and consistent academic performance.
Submission of required caste, income, and identity certificates.
The application process for scholarships at MJCET generally involves the following steps:
Government Scholarships: Students must apply through the Telangana government’s official scholarship portals such as TS Epass where they fill out the online application form, upload scanned documents (income certificate, caste certificate, admission proof), and submit before the deadline. The college assists students with required verification.
Merit Scholarships:Â These are often awarded automatically based on exam ranks or academic performance. Students should verify eligibility with the college administration and submit any required forms or declarations.
Private Scholarships:Â Students need to research and apply individually, following specific external guidelines.
Always keep photocopies of scholarship application receipts and follow up with the college scholarship office for status updates.
Many scholarships are renewed annually based on the student’s academic performance during the preceding year. A minimum GPA or percentage benchmark and attendance requirement are often necessary to continue receiving benefits.
Scholarship recipients may be required to submit progress reports and maintain conduct standards as prescribed by the scholarship authorities.
The duration of scholarships typically covers the full tenure of the academic program, subject to eligibility renewal each year.
