Given that a large proportion of BPIT's student intake is drawn from Kandhamal and neighbouring districts of Odisha with a significant tribal (ST) and other backward community population, state-level financial assistance schemes are particularly relevant for students here. Eligible SC/ST/OBC/Minority/EWS diploma students can apply for the Government of Odisha Post-Matric Scholarship, subject to the state-notified income and category criteria, which helps offset tuition and other institute fees for the duration of the three-year diploma. Additionally, ST and SC students from notified districts such as Kandhamal may be eligible for further support through Odisha's ST & SC Development Department schemes, which periodically run targeted scholarship and hostel-assistance programmes for technical education students from these communities.

Post-Matric and State Scholarships

Since scholarship eligibility criteria, income thresholds, and disbursement amounts are revised periodically by the respective state departments, students are advised to confirm current-year eligibility and application deadlines directly with the institute's administration office or through the official Odisha scholarship portal, rather than relying solely on prior-year figures. Reviewing the applicable admission process alongside available scholarships can help families plan the overall cost of the diploma more accurately before the counselling round begins.

Beyond the state-run post-matric and ST/SC development schemes, diploma students at BPIT may also be eligible for select central government scholarship schemes aimed at technical and vocational education, subject to the specific eligibility norms set by the concerned ministry or department in a given academic year. Students from economically weaker sections who do not fall under a specific caste or tribal category should also check whether any EWS-specific state scholarship or fee-concession scheme is active in a given admission cycle, since Odisha periodically revises its scholarship coverage for technical diploma students. Because scholarship disbursement is typically processed through linked bank accounts and requires timely submission of income and caste/category certificates, applicants are strongly encouraged to prepare these documents well before the academic session begins rather than after admission is confirmed.

Applicants are also encouraged to check with their respective block education office or the Kandhamal district welfare office for any locally administered scholarship or fee-reimbursement scheme that may not be widely advertised at the state level but is specifically targeted at students from the district. Combining state, central, and local-level scholarship support can meaningfully reduce the overall cost of pursuing a diploma at BPIT, particularly for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. A review of the institute's fee structure alongside these scholarship options gives a more complete picture of the total investment required.
