How to get 100% scholarship in engineering colleges- Pursuing an engineering degree opens up a myriad of opportunities for the aspirants to gain exciting job prospects within or outside the country as well as to continue higher education, either in India or abroad. However, engineering is a very specialised course that might be beyond the financial reach of some aspirants. Hence, engineering colleges offer financial assistance to students in the form of scholarships to help ease the monetary load and allow meritorious and deserving students to pursue engineering. While universities have their criteria regarding scholarships for engineering students, the general prerequisites to offer a full scholarship include being a state topper or a topper in the entrance exams like IIT JEE 2024 or SRMJEEE 2024 or performing exceptionally well in the 12th standard exams i.e. securing a percentage above 80 to 90.
