Chitkara University Scholarships 2026

Chitkara offers scholarships/fee support under different policies and categories. Eligibility can depend on academic performance, entrance performance, programme and other conditions.

How should students use a scholarship headline?

Treat the advertised maximum scholarship as an upper bound, not your guaranteed award. Confirm the exact slab, renewal condition, programme eligibility and whether it applies to tuition only or other charges.

Scholarship rules can change by academic year. Always use the current university scholarship/admission document before paying the fee.
