## Scholarship eligibility
Specific scholarship slab criteria (NUCAT score threshold, board percentage threshold, JEE rank threshold, KCET rank threshold) are not exhaustively itemised on indexed pages. Counsellor verification recommended — admissions.nmit@nitte.edu.in or +91 80 22167929. Typical practice at peer Deemed Universities: a sliding-scale based on entrance exam percentile + 10+2 board percentage.
## Government and external scholarships
For KCET-allotted state-quota seats, Karnataka state government scholarships apply:
- **SC / ST / OBC / EBC schemes** via the Karnataka Backward Classes Welfare Department (BCWD) and Social Welfare Department
- **EWS scheme** via Karnataka State portal
- **Persons with Disability** allowances per state norms
- **Inter-state scholarship transfer** via the National Scholarship Portal (NSP)
(These apply for the KCET-allotted state-quota subset, not for NUCAT-track seats.)
## Trust-administered support
Specific NITTE Education Trust-administered need-based scholarships are referenced in the principal''s message but not exhaustively itemised on indexed pages. Trust Administrator Mr Rohit Punja serves on the CDC and Governing Council; trust-level support is typically need-based and merit-cum-need.
## Industry scholarships
External industry scholarships available (verify per-cycle):
- AICTE Pragati / Saksham schemes (for women and PwD undergraduates)
- INSPIRE Scholarship (for top-1% Class 12 board scorers in PCM, pursuing science)
- Industry-sponsored: ABB / Bosch / Mercedes / Boeing scholarships at engineering colleges with active MoUs
## Data ceilings
- Specific scholarship slab amounts and qualifying thresholds for NUCAT Scholarship tier — not exhaustively itemised on indexed pages
- Trust-administered need-based scholarship slabs — not itemised
- Per-cycle external scholarship participation list — not consolidated on NMIT site
## KUPECA note
KUPECA''s fee regulation framework does not apply to NMIT''s NUCAT-track scholarship structure because Nitte (Deemed-to-be) University is governed by UGC norms for Deemed Universities. NMIT publishes the NUCAT General and NUCAT Scholarship tiers directly on its official 2026-27 BTech PDF. State scholarship schemes (above) apply only to KCET-allotted state-quota seats at NMIT.
