Financial assistance is limited to tuition fees only and is discontinued if the students' CGPA falls below 2.00 for undergraduate degree and 2.5 for graduate degree.

The repayment of loan starts three months after graduation or getting a job, whichever is earlier. The total amount has to be repaid within a period of four years after graduation. Students are required to sign to this effect.
