Gurugram (Haryana) [India], May 26: K.R. Mangalam University Reaffirms Commitment to Accessible Education With Comprehensive Scholarship Programme for 2026-27
Gurugram-based university offers up to 100% scholarships across merit, sports, and special categories to ensure no deserving student is left behind.
Gurugram: In a country where the cost of higher education continues to rise, K.R. Mangalam University (KRMU), one of Gurugram’s most respected universities, is taking a definitive stand – ‘talent should never be held back by financial constraints’. For the academic year 2026-27, the university has announced a wide-ranging scholarship programme that offers up to 100% tuition coverage across multiple categories, reaffirming its long-standing belief that merit and potential deserve every opportunity to flourish.
The scholarships, available to undergraduate students across disciplines, span academic performance, competitive entrance exam scores, sports achievement, and several special categories, making KRMU one of the most accessible and student-friendly universities in the National Capital Region.
A Vision Rooted in Purpose
The scholarship programme reflects a philosophy that starts at the very top of the institution. Prof. Mehraj Uddin Mir, Vice Chancellor of K.R. Mangalam University, puts it simply and powerfully: “Education has the power to transform lives, and financial limitations should never stand in the way of talent and ambition. Our scholarship initiatives are designed to recognise merit, nurture potential, and ensure that deserving students receive the opportunities they need to achieve academic and professional excellence.”
It is this belief that has shaped one of the most comprehensive and inclusive scholarship frameworks in the region.
Merit That Gets Rewarded — Fully
At the heart of KRMU’s scholarship programme is a simple principle: excellence deserves recognition. Students who have scored 90% and above in their Class XII board examinations are eligible for a full 100% scholarship, while those scoring 75% to less than 90% can avail scholarships ranging from 10% to 35%. The programme is equally generous for students who have appeared in national competitive exams. Top scorers in CUET, JEE (Mains), CLAT, and NATA are all eligible for scholarships going up to 100%, depending on their performance.
For Niyati Khokhar, a B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) student at KRMU, the scholarship was nothing short of life-changing. “I am profoundly grateful to K.R. Mangalam University for awarding me a 100% scholarship,” she says. “This support has been a turning point in my academic journey, lifting a significant financial burden from my family and motivating me to strive for excellence. This opportunity has not only shaped my present but has also given clear direction to my future.”
Empowering Women, Athletes, and Beyond
KRMU’s scholarship vision goes well beyond academic scores. The university’s SHERO Scholarship is a dedicated initiative for female students who have secured 70% and above in Class XII — a nod to its alignment with national women empowerment goals and its commitment to building a more inclusive campus.
For students who have represented their district, state, or nation in sports, the university offers a Sports Scholarship that can go up to 100% — covering athletes who have competed at prestigious events including the Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, and national-level championships. KRMU also extends special scholarships to children of serving and retired defence personnel, siblings of existing KRMU students, alumni of the K.R. Mangalam Group of Schools, and children of KRMU faculty and staff.
More Than a Scholarship — A Statement of Belief
For Anshi Raghav, a B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) student, the scholarship represented something far deeper than financial relief. “The scholarship has given me renewed confidence and purpose, inspiring me to pursue my goals with greater determination,” she shares. “I am thankful to the university for creating an ecosystem where talent is nurtured and merit is rewarded.”
Her sentiments are echoed by fellow scholar Niyati Khokhar, who adds, “Because of this scholarship, I am able to focus more on my studies without constant financial stress. The encouragement and support provided through this initiative have boosted my confidence and motivated me to work harder.”
These are not isolated stories. They represent the very outcome KRMU set out to create – a campus where financial background is never the deciding factor in a student’s future.
A University That Invests in Its Students
What sets KRMU’s scholarship programme apart is not just its scale but its intent. Rather than treating financial aid as a checkbox, the university has built a structured, transparent, and multi-layered system that ensures deserving students across backgrounds: academic achievers, athletes, women, defence families, and institutional alumni — all have a genuine pathway to quality education.
With scholarships disbursed in structured instalments tied to continued academic performance and attendance, the programme also serves as a long-term motivational tool, encouraging students to maintain their standards throughout their degree.
Note: The scholarships are applicable only on the first year Programme fee.
