CIMT College

What is CIMT Group of Colleges?

CIMT Group of Colleges (sometimes shown on its site as CIMT Gorup of Colleges) is a private college cluster in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India founded under the Ritwik Educational Trust (established 2009) and later moved to a larger campus on Delhi Road (2016). The campus hosts a degree college (affiliated to Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut) as well as an ITI/vocational training wing offering trade courses approved by NCVET/SCVT.

Why international students might choose CIMT

• Affordable, career-oriented programs — CIMT offers undergraduate degrees (BBA, BCA, B.Sc., B.A., B.Com) and vocational diplomas (ITI trades, D.Pharm and allied health programs), which are typically lower cost than many metropolitan options.

• Campus environment & labs — the campus advertises modern classrooms, science/IT labs and a 5-acre campus which may appeal to students who prefer a smaller, close-knit college experience.

• Vocational + degree mix — if you want both traditional degrees and hands-on trade training (electrician, fitter, HSI, physiotherapy technician), CIMT bundles both under one campus — useful for students who want practical skills alongside degrees.

• Local affiliations — degrees are listed as affiliated with CCS University (Meerut) and vocational courses with NCVET/SCVT, which matters when checking recognition.

University / college ranking

• CIMT is a teaching/degree college and vocational training centre rather than a research university. It is not listed among national research-university ranking tables; independent college directories list it as an affiliated degree college (CCS University) and a growing local institution. Treat it as a regional/private degree + vocational provider rather than a ranked national university.

Campus locations & contact

• Main campus (listed): Delhi Road (6th km stone/Delhi Road), Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. The site highlights a single main campus with degree college and an on-site ITI block. For exact coordinates, address and how to reach, use the college contact page or call the campus numbers shown on the website.

Types of courses & study levels

CIMT’s offering spans several levels:

• Undergraduate degrees (BA, B.Com, B.Sc. (Biology / Maths), BBA, BCA).

• Diploma / Professional & vocational (ITI trades — Electrician, Fitter, Health Sanitary Inspector, Physiotherapy Technician; D.Pharm and allied healthcare diplomas are advertised on social pages).

• Short courses / certificate courses — some sites and course-lists show short skill courses and elective certificate options (check the current prospectus).

Mode of learning

• On-campus (primary) — Most degree and ITI programs are classroom-based on the Bulandshahr campus.

• Some distance / flexible options — the site’s copy references having started with a “distance learning” vision (2016) and the institute may offer flexible/part-time or blended options for some courses; however, the principal delivery mode for degree/ITI programmes is on-site. If you need a program that’s fully online, confirm directly with admissions.

Number of programs (summary)

• The website highlights multiple undergraduate programmes (BCA, BBA, B.Sc. Hons., B.A., B.Com) and the ITI trades; their homepage lists quick counts such as “8+ courses” and “250+ students” (these dashboard numbers are approximate snapshots). For an exact, current programme list and intake options, check their official “Courses” page or request the prospectus.

Highlights & strengths

• Affiliated degree programs + NCVET/SCVT-approved trades — a useful mix of academic and vocational learning on one campus.

• Compact campus with labs and practical training — promising for students who want hands-on trades/biotech/IT lab exposure.

• Local/regional focus — suitable for students seeking affordable regional colleges and practical skill training rather than larger metropolitan universities.

Scholarship

A. Institutional merit scholarships or fee concessions

• Merit-based reductions (partial tuition waivers / percentage discounts) for top admittees; sometimes awarded after internal review of marks. (No public list on CIMT site.)

B. Donor / named scholarships or small bursaries

• Small one-off awards (donor funded) for students demonstrating need or excellence — often limited in number and amount. I found references to bursaries in other CIMT-branded pages and in related local college news.

C. Government / state scholarships

• If you are eligible under Indian state schemes (e.g., UP post-matric scholarships, minority scholarships, SC/ST/OBC scholarships), you can apply via the district/state portals. CIMT is located in Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh), and the district scholarship portal lists local award information. International students are usually not eligible for all state schemes, but some central schemes or special bilateral scholarships might apply. Check the Bulandshahr district site and state education departments.

D. International student programmes (country/organisation scholarships)

• If you are an international applicant, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) scholarship scheme is the main central government programme that funds foreign students to study in India (UG/PG/PhD and special cultural programmes). ICCR applications run annually on the ICCR A2A portal — these are large, competitive, and are applied for through Indian embassies/ICCR channels, not through the college website. If CIMT is on an ICCR participating list (you must check with ICCR / the college), ICCR scholarship could cover tuition + stipend depending on the scheme.

E. External & private scholarships / loans

• Home-country scholarships, charitable foundations, corporate sponsorships, or international education loans are often the practical route if the college itself has limited funding. (No CIMT-published international scholarship catalogue was found.)

How I recommend you proceed (practical next steps)

1. Send the template above to the college email and WhatsApp/phone — ask for scholarship policy, required documents, and deadlines. (Use the phone number above for a quick confirmation.)

2. If you are an international student, simultaneously check ICCR scholarship timelines and apply through your local Indian embassy / ICCR portal (A2A). ICCR is independent of college-published awards but can be used to study at many Indian institutions — confirm with CIMT whether they accept ICCR scholars.

3. Look up home-country funding (government scholarships, foundations, employer sponsorships) to create a backup plan.

4. Collect documents now (transcripts, passport, passport photo, statement of purpose, proof of funds) so you can apply quickly if the college or ICCR opens slots.

5. If you don’t hear back within 5–7 business days from CIMT, ask by phone — smaller colleges sometimes don’t update the website but will respond personally.

If CIMT has limited internal funding — alternate options you can reasonably target

• ICCR scholarships (competitive but substantial; cover tuition, stipend, travel in many cases).

• Bilateral or embassy scholarships (some countries run programmes to study in India).

• Home-country government scholarships or private foundations.

• Education loans (Indian bank loans often require a co-applicant resident in India — check eligibility).

• Part-time work / internships — note visa rules for international students in India (varies by nationality and visa type).
