Institute of Home Economics New Delhi Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

IHE offers scholarship/fee-concession/financial-aid schemes to meritorious students and students from economically weaker backgrounds / reserved categories (SC / ST / OBC / Minority). Some typical scholarship/aid schemes available are Merit-based University/DU scholarships for students with high performance in entrance (e.g., after CUET) or university exams may provide partial tuition-fee waiver.  

Fee-concession / financial aid for students from economically weaker backgrounds or reserved categories (subject to valid caste certificate and income criteria). In past references, there have been special schemes for students from certain regions (e.g., from Jammu & Kashmir) for UG courses. IHE is under University of Delhi (DU), so students may also be eligible for broader DU / Delhi-government / central scholarship or financial-aid schemes (especially for SC/ST/OBC/Minority / EWS / income-based scholarships), subject to fulfilling their conditions (caste certificate, income ceiling, etc.).

Important caveats for scholarship amount and eligibility vary widely depending on category (merit / reserved / income-based), course, and yearly policy. Even students who get ‘eligible’ status sometimes report that placement support was limited many felt they had to arrange their own internships or jobs. Relying solely on placement + scholarship may not ensure high-paying job outcomes depend heavily on course, extras like internships, and personal initiative (skills, networking, further study).
