CIIT
follows a well spelt-out modus operandi to provide financial assistance to students
who are good in studies but are handicapped due to financial constraints. A special
fund is allocated to cater to the needs of the deserving students. For this purpose
Financial Assistance Committees operate on all campuses to look into such cases.
The different arrays of facilities which are provided under the monetary assistance
program are briefly discussed below:
a) Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is provided to students on need-cummerit basis. The students
who are in good academic standing and have demonstrated financial problems are eligible
for financial assistance. Financial assistance is provided to the students after
the first semester. At least 80% attendance is mandatory in all the registered courses
and no disciplinary action or proceedings should be in progress or pending against
the student at the time of application for financial assistance.
b) Qarz-i-Hasna
It is a loan facility recoverable within two years without any interest. It is granted
to the students of 2nd semester and onwards. Only those students are eligible who
in good academic standing with at least 80% class attendance and no disciplinary
problems, and are in need of proven financial help.
c) Kinship/Siblings
Concession
When two siblings are concurrently students of CIIT, 50% tuition fee concession
to one sibling is admissible provided both maintain good academic standing and are
not in receipt of any other concession/scholarship, etc.
d) Taleem Fund
All the employees of CIIT contribute 1% of gross salary in addition to the 2 % contributed
by CIIT towards Taleem Fund. This fund is distributed in students on need-cum merit
basis in every semester as Financial Assistance to meet their tuition fee expenses.
The student has to apply through his/her department and after giving interview to
the Taleem Fund Committee he/she gets a full or partial waiver in the tuition fee,
on need-cum-merit basis.
e) Academic Excellence
Incentives
To improve the quality of the students, who are admitted at CIIT, the Board of Governors
of CIIT has approved the following incentives for the fresh/enrolled students: 1.
A 100% tuition fee waiver for the students admitted in each undergraduate degree
program, which is among the top 10 position holders in their respective board examinations.
This concession will be admissible in the first semester, and may continue in subsequent
semesters if a CGPA of 3.50/4.00 is maintained. 2. A 75% tuition fee waiver for
the top 5% students admitted in each undergraduate degree program, who obtain top
positions in the overall merit of all the admitted students, determined on the basis
of Board exams and NTS test, which in no case should be below 75%. This concession
will be admissible in the first semester, and may continue in subsequent semesters
if a CGPA of 3.25/4.00 is maintained. 3. A 50% tuition fee waiver for the top 5%
students admitted in each undergraduate degree program, who obtain top positions
in the overall merit of all the admitted students, determined on the basis of Board
exams and NTS test, which in no case should be below 60%. This concession will be
admissible in the first semester, and may continue in subsequent semesters if a
CGPA of 3.00/4.00 is maintained.
f) Campus Level Financial
Assistance:
On different campuses certain incentive schemes are also available for specified
categories, who are given fee concessions. In certain cases the fee concession is
as much as 100%, like the industrial worker’s children who are nominated by the
Punjab Workers Welfare Board and who meet the eligibility and admission criteria
of the Lahore campus. HEC Fully funded scholarships are available as reserved seats
for the students from FATA & Baluchistan. Details of such scholarships may be
obtained from HEC website. CIIT offers Twenty Five Scholarships equal to the tuition
fee for the students from Gilgit – Baltistan. These Scholarships are offered at
Islamabad, Abbottabad, Wah and Lahore campuses. Further details of Campus Level
Financial Assistance/Scholarships are available at each CIIT campus admission office.
However, each campus may have scholarship schemes that are unique to it, and may
not necessarily be applicable to all CIIT campuses. Prospective Students are therefore
encouraged to find out from the Campus of their choice which types of scholarships
it has on offer.
