Students at TPGIT can avail the Tamil Nadu Government Merit Scholarship (INR 5,000 per year for students with above 60% in Class 12), BC/MBC/Minority scholarships covering full tuition, SC/ST Post-Matric Scholarship covering tuition and maintenance allowance, and the AICTE Tuition Fee Waiver for SC/ST students with family income below INR 8 LPA.
