Leaving midway or failing to complete the course will require repayment of the scholarship received.

If a scholar receives financial assistance from another organization during the course, they won't receive the AICTE scholarship for that period.

Scholarships and other allowances are released through the online QIP portal directly to the beneficiary's Aadhar-linked account through DBT mode.

Waitlisted candidates may move up in the final list if a selected candidate opts out and does not join the institute. In such cases, the concerned QIP institute will issue an offer letter for admission to the waitlisted candidate. This ensures that available slots are efficiently filled.

Shortlisted candidates will be informed through email. The date and time of the interview/test will be mentioned in the email or in subsequent communication. It's vital for candidates to closely monitor their email to avoid missing these notifications.
