The scholarship slab system at private universities in Bangalore works on a very simple idea — the better your marks or entrance exam score, the bigger the fee discount you get on your tuition.

Private universities divide students in various slabs based on their Class 12 percentage or rank in the entrance exam and each slab is given certain percentage of tuition fee exempt.

for example, students scoring 95% and above in Class 12 can get anywhere between 50% to 100% tuition fee waiver, students scoring between 90% to 94.9% typically get 25% to 50% waiver, and students in the 85% to 89.9% range usually get 15% to 25% off their fees. For engineering admissions specifically, universities consider your JEE Main rank or KCET rank to decide your slab, while for general degree courses like BCom or BA, your Class 12 board percentage is the main deciding factor.
