Dronacharya College of Engineering provides a range of scholarships to support meritorious and economically weaker students pursuing B.Tech and M.Tech programs in 2025-26. These include institute-specific merit and need-based awards, as well as government schemes integrated with HSTES admissions. Scholarships aim to reduce financial barriers, with options like full tuition waivers under TFW and up to 50% fee relaxation for high scorers. Key highlights include the Chanakya Fellowship (INR 4 lakhs sponsored by iHub IIT Roorkee) and MHRD aid (INR 7,000/month for alumni). Applications are via the HSTES portal during counselling or direct institute submission, promoting inclusivity for girls (Beti Bachao Beti Padhao) and reserved categories.
