Hello Mr. Rajesh,

Yes, your son will qualify for fee waiver benefits under the EWS/OBC/SC/ST categories, or from Central/State scholarship schemes if the annual family income is below 5 lakh. IIIT Pune adheres to the JoSAA/CSAB rules, but the IIIT is open to scholarships on the NSP (National Scholarship Portal) scheme and any other state-level income fee reimbursement schemes. The family will need to apply at the time of admission with the income certificate and also register on NSP to avail of the benefit.

Hi there!

Congratulations on your son's selection into IIT Pune!

IITs do offer some fee concessions to students from economically weaker sections. But there's less information available on IIT Pune's scholarships and fee policies. However, similar Institutes offer:

- Full fee waiver for students with income below 1 Lakh

- 2/3 fee waiver for students with income between 1 - 5 lakhs.

Given the above information, you can hope for fee waiver from IIT Pune.

Next steps:

- Contact IIT Pune's admission office or scholarship coordinator to know more.

- Keep your documents like Income Certificate, Category certificate, and Admission ready, and submit scholarship application as soon as possible.

Good luck! :)
