The aim is to encourage and reward meritorious students. The scholarship will cover all expenses, including tuition and living, during their stay at IIT Kanpur.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, (IIT-K) is offering a special scholarship programme for all India top 100 rank holders of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2022 for the second year in a row.  

‘Bright Minds Scholarship’  

“Named ‘Bright Minds Scholarships’, the initiative constitutes 10 highly sought-after academic scholarships for students from the top 100 AIR in JEE 2022,” the institute said in a statement. The scholarships were introduced last year and are established with support from IIT Kanpur alumnus Lokvir Kapoor. The aim is to encourage and reward meritorious students. The scholarships will cover all expenses, including tuition and living, during their stay at IIT Kanpur. 

This is a first-of-its-kind initiative towards encouraging and rewarding academic excellence. The scholarships will be awarded to the selected students who have been admitted for BTech/BS programme for the 2022-23 academic year. 

Eligible students to get up to INR 3 lakh per year 

IIT Kanpur aims to ensure that not a single meritorious student should face any hurdle in their education due to financial constraints. Each eligible student will be entitled to an annual scholarship of INR 3 lakh that will cover their expenses during the undergradate programme. 

An undergraduate student at IIT-K typically spends INR 12 lakh through four year BTech/BS programme. A student scholarship provides a meaningful way to extend support towards the cost of education that includes tuition fees, boarding and lodging, books and supplies, health insurance, transport, etc.
