Some of the best ways to get financial help is to get an RA/TA position. Although it would be restricted to Master’s and PhD students but always a good option to explore. This allows for a tuition fee waiver. However, it’s a difficult task. Reach out to professors conducting research in the area you are good at. Ask for such position availability, share your resume/work samples, and visit in person if possible.
Loan options are always available from multiple banks in India. GyanDhan partners with many of them and helps student secure loans easily so explore that too.
