Dr. Vithalrao Vikhe Patil College of Engineering (DVVPCOE) actively supports meritorious and economically disadvantaged students through Maharashtra government scholarships, integrated with the fee structure and admission process. These schemes, administered via the MahaDBT portal (mahadbt.maharashtra.gov.in), provide tuition fee waivers, exam fee reimbursements, and maintenance allowances for UG (B.E.), PG (M.E.), and Ph.D. programs. Eligibility is category-based: EBC (Economically Backward Class - open category with family income < INR 8 lakhs), OBC/EWS, NT/SBC/TFWS (full/partial waivers), and SC/ST (complete freeship).
Applications for AY 2025-26 opened on June 30, 2025; last date for new/renewal is June 30, 2026 (extended for re-applications). Students must apply post-CAP admission, upload documents online, and verify at the college. Benefits are disbursed directly via DBT, reducing effective fees (e.g., EBC lowers first-year B.E. from INR 1,20,745 to INR 69,876). Non-submission may lead to fee recovery.
