In a significant move to recognise outstanding academic performance, the University has launched the RISE Scholars Program for B. Tech aspirants. Designed as a merit-based initiative linked to Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) performance, the programme offers a 100% academic fee waiver (tuition fees) for students securing 98 percentile and above, 50% academic fee waiver (tuition fees) for those in the 96–98 percentile range and 100% hostel and mess fee waiver for those in the 94–96 percentile range. The scholarship is awarded at admission and to continue the scholarship for the remaining 3 years of the B. Tech programme, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 7.5 or above at the end of each academic year without backlogs.
According to Dr. Yajulu Medury, Vice Chancellor, Mahindra University, said, “We are committed to build an ecosystem that blends academic rigour with real-world relevance. Our undergraduate programmes are designed to anticipate the needs of a rapidly evolving global economy while nurturing responsible, future-ready leaders.

Expanding its academic portfolio, Mahindra University has introduced a new undergraduate programme, BBA in Infrastructure Management, aligned with India’s rapidly growing infrastructure sector. With urbanisation expected to accelerate and significant investments projected in infrastructure development, the programme is designed to bridge the gap between engineering execution and business management. It integrates core business disciplines with specialised training in areas such as project finance, urban planning, sustainability, and digital technologies including GIS, BIM, and smart infrastructure systems, supported by strong industry linkages and hands-on learning.
