Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjung Hospital New Delhi Scholarships: Eligibility & Scholarship Amount 2026

Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjung Hospital (VMMC & SJH), Delhi, being a premier government medical institution, offers limited direct institutional scholarships. However, students (primarily MBBS, but also PG and others) can access various government-sponsored, merit-based, need-based, and category-specific financial aids. The official website has a dedicated "Scholarships" section under Students, though it currently shows no detailed content and is updated as needed. 

Key Scholarship Options Available to VMMC Students 

• Government Scholarships for Reserved Categories: SC/ST/OBC/EWS students can apply for central/state schemes like Post-Matric Scholarships, National Scholarship Portal (NSP) programs, or Delhi Government schemes offering 25-100% fee waivers or reimbursements based on income and category certificates.

• Merit-Based and Need-Based Aids: Through Central Sector Scholarship Scheme (for meritorious students from families with low income) or similar programs via NSP portal. Some sources mention merit-cum-means options covering partial/full fees.

• Delhi Government/Other State Aids: Delhi residents may qualify for additional fee concessions or scholarships; economically weaker sections get support for tuition and other expenses.

• Tribal Affairs/Ministry Schemes: Central Sector Scholarships for ST students admitted to identified institutes like VMMC, grants released in past years for fresh admissions.

• External/Private Scholarships: Options like GSK Scholars Programme for MBBS students focusing on financial barriers, AIMSET merit-based awards for NEET qualifiers, or other national trusts. These are applied separately.

• Internship Stipend (Financial Support): Mandatory 1-year MBBS internship at Safdarjung Hospital provides a monthly stipend typically INR 23,000-INR 30,000+ as per the recent govt. norms, helping offset costs.
