Thiagarajar College of Engineering- TCE Madurai Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE), Madurai, offers a robust scholarship ecosystem to support meritorious and economically disadvantaged students, particularly those from rural backgrounds or reserved categories. Scholarships are broadly divided into government-funded schemes (administered through state portals and college facilitation) and institution/alumni-supported scholarships (primarily through the TCE Alumni Charitable Trust and various endowments). These aim to reduce financial burdens for B.E./B.Tech, postgraduate, and other programmes, with a significant focus on merit-cum-means criteria.

• Government Scholarships — These are the primary support for reserved categories and are processed via Tamil Nadu government portals

• SC/ST/SCA Scholarships — Fresh and renewal forms available; cover tuition and other fees for eligible Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe students.

• BC/MBC/DNC Scholarships — For Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes, and Denotified Communities; includes community-specific aid 

Government scholarships require forms downloadable from the college website, with circulars for guidance. Alumni scholarships start with college-wide calls for applications. Eligibility often combines merit (academic performance), financial need (income proof), and sometimes peer/department input. Scholarships are generally not available for management quota seats.
