Need-based Financial Aid
Anant is committed to offering world-class education to talented students who experience financial constraints in pursuing their higher education. We evaluate solely on the financial status of the student’s family.
What is Need-based Financial Aid at Anant?
Anant provides need-based scholarships, which can range from a partial to a complete waiver of tuition fees, based on the discretion of the financial aid committee. The candidate’s financial capability is evaluated based on various resources available to their immediate family, such as income, savings, investments and education loans to cover the anticipated educational expenses.

Anant National University has tied up with Axis, Credila Financial Services Limited and IDFC bank to help students secure an education loan on convenient terms. Approval, Sanction and Disbursement are subject to the bank’s internal policy checks, process and eligibility.
At Anant National University, inclusive education is a foundational commitment as we strive to ensure that quality design education remains accessible to every deserving student, irrespective of cultural, geographical or linguistic background.
In this spirit, Anant launched ADEPT (Anant Design Entrance and Proficiency Test), India’s first and only multilingual design entrance examination, conducted in ten languages, including English, reaffirming our belief that talent must never be limited by language. Beyond admissions, Anant extends comprehensive need-based and merit-based financial aid of up to 100 per cent, along with dedicated support for wards of defence personnel, ensuring that financial circumstances do not become a barrier to academic pursuit. These initiatives are closely aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020, which calls for equitable and inclusive access to quality education.
Complementing this national mandate, the Government of India’s PM Vidyalaxmi Scheme and the Government of Gujarat’s Interest Subsidy Scheme on Education Loan (ISEL) play a vital role in expanding financial access, enabling students from modest backgrounds to pursue higher education with confidence. Anant’s inclusion among the 860 eligible institutions under the PM-Vidyalaxmi Scheme reflects its academic standing and compliance with national quality benchmarks, including NIRF-linked eligibility criteria.
Anant encourages all eligible students to leverage these platforms for their educational funding needs, with our dedicated team providing complete guidance and support throughout the process
