A special fund is allocated to cater to the needs of the deserving students. For this purpose Financial Assistance Committees operate on all campuses to look into such cases. The different arrays of facilities which are provided under the monitory assistance program are briefly discussed below. Read further and apply for the financial assistance as required;
