Chitkara University scholarship options give students multiple ways to reduce their tuition costs, mostly through government-backed schemes rather than one single university-wide merit award. Undergraduate students can apply for the Post-Matric Scholarship (SC/ST/OBC categories), the Central Sector Scheme (CSSS) for top Class 12 performers, AICTE PMSSS for J&K and Ladakh domicile students, and the NSP Minority Scholarship for notified minority communities. Defence personnel and their dependents, along with persons with disabilities, can avail special fee concessions.
For higher studies, GATE and UGC-NET qualified candidates can access M.E. and PhD fellowships worth INR 20,000 to INR 30,000 per month. Benefits across these schemes range from fee reimbursement and tuition support to monthly stipends and alumni discounts on further degrees.
