# Delhi University announces up to 100% fee waiver for eligible students 2026-09-24T16:06:56+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Delhi University has announced a financial support scheme offering up to 100 per cent fee waiver for eligible students. Under the scheme, students with an annual family income of up to Rs 4 lakh will qualify for a full fee waiver, subject to the actual fee or a maximum cap of Rs 15,000, whichever is lower. The move is aimed at easing the financial burden on students from economically weaker backgrounds. Further details regarding the application process and eligibility criteria are expected to be released by the university in due course. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The fee waiver mirrors the University Grants Commission's 2023 model for central universities, which set income thresholds and caps for full and partial fee reimbursement. With Delhi University enrolling over 2.5 lakh students across 90 colleges, the cap of Rs 15,000 will cover most undergraduate programme fees but may leave some professional course students with a balance. The university has not yet announced the total budget allocation for the scheme or whether it will be renewed annually. Students should watch for the application window and the list of excluded programmes, if any. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: Delhi University, UGC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-university-announces-up-to-100-fee-waiver-for-eligible-students/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
