IIT Goa Unveils Scholarship Opportunities for SC, ST, OBC and EWS Students

Scholarships from the Indian Institute of Technology Goa (IIT-G) are awarded annually to worthy students. Some take the shape of reduced tuition costs, while others are in the form of direct benefits deposits into the students bank accounts.

During the first three years, IIT Goa provided 30 seats in the BTech programs in mechanical, electrical, and computer science and engineering. The number of seats available for BTech programs in computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and mathematics and computing has been raised to 150. In addition to this, it provides a few places for each of the MTech and PhD programs in the same fields.
