SJCE Mysore Scholarship: State Government Scholarship
As a college affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University and located in Karnataka, SJCE Mysore students are also eligible for a wide set of Karnataka State Government scholarships, most of which are income and category-based. These schemes are especially useful for students from SC, ST, OBC, and minority backgrounds, with several offering complete fee reimbursement rather than a partial grant.
For example, SC and ST students get full reimbursement of tuition, admission, and examination fees, along with a maintenance allowance of ₹7,000 per year for day scholars and ₹13,500 per year for hostellers. Similarly, students with a family income between ₹2.5 lakh and ₹10 lakh under the SC/ST Fee Concession category can get a complete BTech fee exemption.
OBC students, depending on their sub-category and income slab, can receive an annual allowance ranging from ₹4,000 to over ₹20,000 in addition to fee reimbursement.

SJCE Scholarship: Private/Company Scholarships
Beyond government schemes, SJCE Mysore also facilitates a few private and company-funded scholarships aimed at supporting economically weaker students, with a special focus on girl students. These are typically smaller in number but provide meaningful relief for students who may not qualify for larger government schemes.
The DHS Scholarship supports students from economically weak backgrounds, while both the SKF Scholarship and the UMAH Foundation (Bhoruka Charities) scholarship are reserved exclusively for girl students facing financial constraints. Since the exact monetary benefit for these 3 schemes is decided on a case-by-case basis, interested students are advised to apply directly through the scholarship section on campus and confirm the current award amount.
| Scholarship | Eligibility | Sanctioned By |
| DHS Scholarship | Economically weak students | Private company (apply in person at SJCE) |
| SKF Scholarship | Economically weak girl students | Private company (apply in person at SJCE) |
| UMAH Foundation (Bhoruka Charities) | Economically weak girl students | Private company (apply in person at SJCE) |
