It will, however be obligatory / incumbent on all merit scholarship holders to maintain a CGPA of 3.5 on completion of two semesters each year. Inability to maintain the said CGPA will render the concerned merit scholarship holder ineligible for continuation of the merit scholarship in the remaining semesters. In case a student loses his / her standing for merit scholarship, and regaining the required CGPA in any subsequent semester, the student will again become eligible for merit scholarship in the next semester however he / she will not be entitled to claim the same for the preceding semesters.
