Hyderabad, April 24 (Siasat News): The state government citing the poor financial resources have reduced 50% seats in IIT category.
Now it seems that the scheme related to the payment of Muslim students fees in the form of scholarship, would either be withdrawn or the number of beneficiaries would be reduced.
It is to be recalled here that the former Chief Minister late YS Rajsekhar Reddy had started the fee reimbursement scheme.
During the current year 20 lakhs students are registered to be benefited by this scheme.
Although, the government has allocated Rs. 2500 crores for this scheme but Rs. 913 crores are released so far.
It is feared that Muslim students would be badly affected if the scheme is either partly or totally withdrawn.
Further confirmation is awaited.
