GNIOT Scholarships 2026-27: EWS, UP Scholarship, NSP, AICTE Pragati, Saksham and Eligibility
Last updated: October 2026
GNIOT scholarships for 2026-27 come from two places. The GNIOT fee chart lists a Rs 20,000 EWS scholarship, and foreign nationals get the K. L. Memorial Scholarship of Rs 70,000 in annual course fees. On top of that, GNIOT notices ask students to apply for UP Scholarship, National Scholarship Portal (NSP) schemes, Bihar and Jharkhand state scholarships, and AICTE schemes such as Pragati, Saksham and Swanath.
There is no single scholarship that every student gets. Your eligibility depends on your course, family income, category, domicile, gender, disability status and academic record. The amount also changes from scheme to scheme, so a form or notice on its own does not mean you will get the money.
This page explains each scholarship route open to GNIOT students, who it suits, the documents you need, how to apply, and the mistakes that can get your application rejected.
Important: GNIOT Has No Single Scholarship Table
GNIOT does not publish one table with every scholarship amount and the courses it covers. Most support comes from government and AICTE schemes, which set their own rules. Students must check each scheme on its own portal.
What this means for you
- Check each scheme: eligibility is set by the scheme, not by GNIOT alone.
- Watch two deadlines: the portal deadline and the separate institute verification deadline.
- Get it in writing: ask the admission office for the 2026-27 scholarship policy before you rely on any discount.
Scholarship amounts, dates and rules can change each year. Check the latest official notice before you apply.

GNIOT Scholarship Terms You Should Know
Read these before you count on any scholarship.
- A form is not an approval Submitting a form or seeing a notice does not mean you will get the scholarship. Each scheme checks your eligibility and documents first.
Do not plan your fee payment on an unapproved scholarship.
- Two deadlines apply Most schemes have an online deadline and a separate institute verification deadline.
- Submit the online form on time.
- Hand in documents to the institute by its stated date.
- Use the correction window if the portal flags an error.
- Details must match Your name, date of birth, bank account and marks must match across the form and documents.
Mismatched details are a common reason for rejection.
- Payment method varies The benefit may be paid by DBT to your bank, reimbursed later, or adjusted against eligible fees. Ask which applies before you pay.
- Renewal is not automatic If renewal is allowed, you must meet academic progress and document rules and apply again each year.
- Merit scholarship needs written proof The GNIOT FAQ guide says merit scholarships are given on JEE Main rank, board percentage, CAT/MAT score or graduation marks as per institute rules. The scholarship guide found no complete official table of merit, sports, sibling or alumni discounts.
Get the 2026-27 merit policy in writing before you rely on a promised discount.
- Combining scholarships Do not assume two scholarships can be combined. Ask what happens if you qualify for more than one.

Is It Worth Applying for Scholarships at GNIOT?
Yes. The Rs 20,000 EWS scholarship alone equals one third of a year's B.Com fee of Rs 60,000, and state schemes like UP Fee Reimbursement can cover much more for eligible students. Before you pay your fee, ask GNIOT these questions:
- Which scholarships are open for my exact course and admission year?
- Does my course qualify under the scheme I want?
- What is the current income limit and which certificates are accepted?
- What is the last date for online submission and institute verification?
- Which fee heads are covered?
- Is the amount paid to my bank account or adjusted against the fee?
- Can I apply for more than one scheme?
- Do I need to submit an undertaking or affidavit to the institute?

UP Scholarship at GNIOT: What to Check
UP Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement is the first scheme most GNIOT students should look at, since the campus is in Uttar Pradesh. GNIOT notices ask students to submit UP scholarship forms along with other applications. The amount is not a fixed GNIOT discount. It depends on the scheme and your verified details.
- Does your domicile and course meet the current UP scheme rules?
- Which category and family income conditions apply to you?
- Is your application fresh or a renewal?
- What are the deadlines for online submission, institute verification and corrections?
- Will the money come to you, or be reimbursed or adjusted through the set process?
For the UP scheme, keep Aadhaar or another accepted ID, bank details, income, domicile and category certificates, your previous mark sheets, current admission and fee details, and a recent photograph. The exact list can change, so follow the portal checklist and any GNIOT notice.
AICTE Scholarships for GNIOT Students Explained
GNIOT engineering institute notices have named three AICTE schemes in particular: Pragati, Saksham and Swanath. These are AICTE schemes, not fee waivers that GNIOT gives every student. Your course must be AICTE approved, and you must meet the scheme's own conditions.
Pragati is for girl students in approved technical courses. Check the eligible course and admission year, the family income limit, the number of awards, the documents and the payment rules in the current AICTE notice.
Saksham is for students with disabilities in approved technical courses. Past AICTE guidelines have set a minimum disability level and a family income limit, so keep a valid disability certificate and income certificate ready.
Swanath is for students in categories AICTE defines, such as eligible orphans or certain wards of armed forces or paramilitary personnel. Read the category definitions and supporting document list before you apply.
GNIOT circulars have also listed the AICTE Saraswati scheme for girl students in BBA, BCA and BMS, and the AICTE Yashasvi scheme. Open the notice and check whether your course, year and admission type are covered.
Documents to Keep Ready for GNIOT Scholarships
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, plus graduation mark sheets for PG courses
- Admission letter, bonafide certificate and fee receipt
- Aadhaar or other ID proof, and active bank account details
- Income, domicile and category certificates where they apply
- Disability certificate for schemes that need it
- Death / orphan or service documents only if your scheme needs them
- Passport and visa for the K. L. Memorial route
- Application form, acknowledgement number and institute verification form
This is a preparation list. Follow the exact checklist of your scheme.
Scholarship Timeline: What to Expect
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Before or at admission | Check course eligibility and the current notice. Keep fee and admission documents. |
| Application window | Submit the online form before the portal deadline. |
| Institute verification | GNIOT checks your information and documents. |
| Correction stage | Reply to portal or institute queries before the final date. |
| Sanction and payment | The scheme authority processes the claim. Timing depends on the scheme. |
| Renewal year | Meet progression and document rules and apply on time. |
Common Mistakes That Delay a Scholarship
- Entering your name, date of birth, bank account or marks differently from your documents.
- Applying under a scheme that does not cover your course or institute.
- Uploading expired, incomplete or wrong certificates.
- Missing the portal deadline or the institute verification deadline.
- Assuming a submitted form means approval.
- Not saving the acknowledgement, application number and fee receipts.
- Trusting old social media posts for amounts or eligibility.
Other Ways to Manage GNIOT Fees
If a scholarship does not cover the full fee, ask GNIOT for the official payment schedule. Fees can be paid annually or semester-wise as per the institute notice. You can also look at education loans from banks or other regulated lenders, and check whether a government interest support scheme applies to you. Loan rules, interest support and tax benefits depend on current rules and the lender.
How Much Can a Scholarship Save at GNIOT?
| Course | Total Fee | With Rs 20,000 EWS Scholarship |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech (CSE, AI, IT) | Rs 7,05,000 | Rs 6,85,000 |
| B.Tech (ME, ECE, CE, EE) | Rs 4,65,000 | Rs 4,45,000 |
| MBA | Rs 4,95,000 | Rs 4,75,000 |
| MCA | Rs 2,50,000 | Rs 2,30,000 |
| BBA / BCA | Rs 3,14,000 | Rs 2,94,000 |
| B.Com / B.Sc (CS) | Rs 1,85,000 | Rs 1,65,000 |
This assumes the Rs 20,000 is given once and adjusted against the fee. Confirm how it is applied.
