The Amity University had launched a unique Scholarship program many years ago. This year it has just grown phenomenally. With Amity doing a high octane television ad campaign for the Scholarships, over 25, 000 students with above 88% and 93% in their 12th Boards applied for the Scholarships. Out of these, 2000 were chosen to join.
The Amity Scholarship has become a very prestigious program and students have already started applying for the next year. There is also a Fast-track Admission Process where students who have got above 88% do not need to sit for the entrance test of Amity, the Amity common Admission Test (AMCAT). They are cleared for admission only on the basis of their application Form.
The maximum scholarships were given in Biotechnology and Computer Science, seeing the requirement of the Industry.nn
The Amity Science, Technology and innovation Foundation has also a large number of Fellowships for PHd and Post-Doctoral Scholars. Candidates get paid a stipend, get free accommodation and a waiver for the academic fees.
I have not heard of any other private University having such a large Scale initiative.
