About Delhi Higher & Technical Education Support Scheme
The Higher Education Department, Government of NCT of Delhi, runs the Delhi Higher & Technical Education Support Scheme under the aegis of The Delhi Higher Education Aid Trust. It helps meritorious students from economically weaker sections by reimbursing only their Tuition Fee for eligible undergraduate courses. Students admitted from the academic session 2022-2023 onwards to Government Universities, Colleges and Institutions situated in Delhi are covered. Applications move through the concerned College, University and the Department of Higher Education, and sanctioned amounts are paid straight into the beneficiary’s Aadhaar-linked bank account by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
