SIndian Army personnel, veterans, disabled personnel और personnel who died in harness/action के बच्चों के लिए कई universities में scholarship, tuition-fee concession, reserved seats और hostel-related benefits उपलब्ध हैं। लेकिन हर institution की eligibility, seat limit और fee structure अलग है, इसलिए admission से पहले applicable MoU और current conditions verify करना जरूरी है.
Sri Sharada Institute, New Delhi
The available MoU information mentions up to 30 seats in PGDM/MBA-related programmes for eligible Army families.
Eligible categories include serving, retired, disabled and deceased personnel families, subject to applicable conditions. The information also refers to 100% scholarship support, while approximately ₹95,000 per year for accommodation and messing may remain separately payable.
Admission is still subject to merit and institutional eligibility.
Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim
The benefits mentioned include:
- 200 undergraduate seats
- 50 postgraduate seats
- 50% tuition-fee concession
- 10% hostel-fee concession
Students must still meet the university’s normal academic and admission criteria.
Manav Rachna, Faridabad
The MoU information provides:
- 25% tuition-fee concession
- 10% reservation in eligible courses
- 20 reserved BDS seats
- priority in hostel accommodation
A reserved seat should not be confused with guaranteed admission.
FLAME University, Pune
Benefits vary by Army family category:
- 100% concession for eligible wards of personnel disabled or killed in action
- 75% concession for up to 10 eligible children of serving personnel
- 50% concession for up to 10 eligible children of ex-servicemen
Applicants should separately verify residential and other campus charges.
BEST Innovation University, Andhra Pradesh
The information mentions:
- 30% tuition concession for eligible Army personnel and wards, including retired personnel
- 50% tuition concession for eligible wards of personnel who died in action
- 10–30 reserved seats in specified programmes
Course-wise availability should be confirmed directly with the institution.
DAV University, Jalandhar
The benefits mentioned include:
- 100% annual tuition-fee scholarship for eligible wards of personnel killed in action
- 40% annual tuition-fee scholarship for eligible wards of serving, retired and specified physical-casualty categories
- coverage across multiple programmes
Exact eligibility should be checked before admission.
Who may be eligible?
Eligibility is not identical across all universities.
Eligibility is not identical across all universities.
Scholarship, concession and reservation are different
A scholarship provides financial support.
A fee concession reduces a specified fee.
A reserved seat earmarks seats for an eligible category.
So a reserved seat does not automatically mean free education, and a tuition scholarship may not include hostel, mess, examination or other charges.
What Army families should remember?
These education benefits can reduce the cost of higher education substantially, especially in multi-year programmes. However, benefits depend on the institution, course, beneficiary category, available seats and prevailing MoU conditions.
Families should therefore verify the latest MoU, admission rules, scholarship percentage and fee structure directly with the university and the relevant Army welfare/education channel before paying fees or taking admission.
