Al-Azhar Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital Idukki Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

The scholarship system at Al-Azhar Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital is mainly based on government schemes and a few merit or need-based supports, rather than large internal college-funded scholarships. Students are encouraged to apply through national and state portals, as most financial aid comes from external programs.

The college facilitates scholarships such as the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) schemes, where eligible MBBS students (usually with around 80% marks in Class 12 and family income below INR 4.5 lakh) can receive up to about INR 82,000 per year under central government initiatives. For postgraduate students, schemes like the UGC National Scholarship may provide around INR 10,000 per year or even INR 15,000 per month depending on eligibility.

In addition, students can apply for minority scholarships, post-matric scholarships, and state government schemes (Kerala e-Grantz), which may cover tuition fees, hostel expenses, or provide maintenance allowances depending on category (SC/ST/OBC/minority) and income criteria.

Some student reviews also mention minority merit-cum-means scholarships and fee concessions for economically weaker sections, where a portion of fees may be reduced based on income and academic performance. However, there is no strong evidence of large institutional scholarships directly funded by the medical college itself, so most students rely on government or external financial aid programs.
