    Merit-based scholarships at Thapar University are given to students with strong academic performance. For first-year UG students, eligibility is based on Class 12 marks and JEE Main rank. From the second year onwards, students must maintain a high CGPA (usually 8.0+), with no backlogs, to continue the scholarship.

    There is no income limit for merit-based scholarships.

    At Thapar, merit scholarships mostly go to students with high JEE or 12th marks. The better your score, the more fee support you can get — some even cover tuition fully. Basically, do well in exams, and you can save a lot on fees.

Tuition only (without hostel, mess, etc.):
• Around ₹9.7 L to ₹20.8 L total for the full 4-year B.Tech, depending on your branch.

Full estimated cost with everything included (hostel, mess, development, other charges):
• Most sources show the total 4-year B.Tech cost ranging roughly from ₹2.8 M to ₹3.1 M (₹27.9 L-₹31.3 L). This includes tuition, hostel, mess and other fees.

So in short, tuition itself is about ₹10 L-₹21 L for the whole degree, and with hostel and mess costs added, the total goes closer to ₹28 L-₹31 L for four years.

1. Check Eligibility
For B.Tech/BE:
• You need Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Mathematics and one of Chemistry/Biology/Biotech/Technical Vocational. General candidates usually need 60% or more (55% for SC/ST) in these subjects.

2. Take the Entrance Exam
JEE Main is the primary route. Most seats (especially in top branches like CSE/ECE) are filled based on JEE Main rank.

• Some seats may also be filled based on Class 12 marks (board merit), but for many popular branches only JEE Main counts now.

3. Apply Online
• Go to the official TIET admissions portal and fill the application form for the year you're applying (UG 2026-27).
