To permit wider coverage and to increase accessibility, IUBAT resorted to various mechanisms to give relief on standard fee charges through introducing rebate on the standard fees at different rates for different programs from 2006 and five programs are still continuing to enjoy rebate facilities. Besides, IUBAT introduced merit scholarship for entry as well as throughout the study period for all categories of students seeking admission from different streams like HSC, Business Management, Vocational, Alim, Diplomas in Agriculture, Nursing, Textile, Forestry, Printing, Ceramics/Glass, Survey, Marine Engineering, Jute Technology, Health Technology and Services or Commerce, GCE and students as well as master’s and bachelor’s degree holders for entry into the MBA program. As an illustration, information on the merit scholarship rates for HSC certificate holders in different semesters are shown below in tabular form. Similar merit scholarships were allowed for diploma, GCE students as well as for master’s entry level students.
