Barabanki (UP): Hyderabad based Non Government Organization, Sahayata Trust in association with Jahangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), Barabanki (Uttar Pradesh) has announced to pay tuition fees of 150 B.tech. students belonging to minority communities.
There are students who are desirous to study Bachelors in Engineering and but can’t afford to pay the whole tuition fees. Sahayata trust has announced that it will pay the remaining amount over the already arranged amount, either personally or through other scholarships.
The trust will pay tuition fee of 100 girls and 50 boys. The minority communities includes Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist and Jain.
Those minority students who have scored more than 65 percent for girls and 85 percent for boys in their 12th standard will have to take an online exam on JIT website (www.jit.edu.in). There will be 50 multiple choice questions from Math, Physics and Chemistry.
“We have done a survey and apart from that there are lot of committee reports which says that minorities studying beyond intermediate level is very low, mainly because of financial reasons as well as problems related to access to the colleges. To provide quality education in particular to the minorities, we have come up with this initiative,” said Syed Anees Uddin, CEO of Sahyata Trust.
“The minority students get scholarships from Ministry of Minority Affairs, but in many cases that isn’t sufficient to pay the fees. Similar is the case with the other scholarships. So, what we have decided is, we will supplement the scholarship amount and pay the remaining amount to JIT,” he informed.
He further said that, the number of girls are kept higher as their literacy rate is quite low and they are the strength of this country and have every right to be educated.
The online test for the fee waiver have started on Thursday, July 20 and will continue till Wednesday August 30, 2017.
